For two years she has been cifcumnavigating the globe with her beautiful classic dancing, and on four continents she has picked up the trail of the new social dances. Likewise and most honestly she is shocked by them, this young woman whose terpsi- chorean twinkling of slim white feet touched off a whole battery of shocks and thrills a few years ago. The bare- foot dancer blushes for bhallroom dancing—for some of it, anyway.

She wore a white lace hat and a conventional white frock, and looked as if she might just have left one of the smart teas at which she is so frequently a guest. For Miss Allan is a close friend of Premier Asquith and his wife, and has been made much of by English and continental society, although most of her early life was spent in our own California. “The renaissance of social dancing has swept over the world,” she said. “It is by no means confined to America, or even to America and audeville Headliner Europe.

Miss Allan looked cver graver than vsual, One-Step Only Tum-Ti-Tum. “I have seen the fox trot, the tango end the hesitation done rather pret- tily,” she conceded. “The one-step is cthing—a mere tum-ti-tum. The new dances may be done well; they may be done with neither dignity nor clegance. An interest in the dance may be an excellent thing; carried to the point of mania, it may do great Larm.” “At least, men like the new dances,” I submitted. Suits Old Men. “How the one-step is bringing out the old men!”she laughed. “It just suits them—might have been made for them. There are so many old gentlemen in the ballroom nowadays.” And then she voiced a plea which Pavlowa once made to me. “It is the beautiful old dances which I should like to see in the ballrooms of the world,” she said. “Why can we not dance again the minuet, the gavotte, the saraband, the square dance?” Too Slow for Present Day. “But aren't those dances too slow for the swift generation?” “They might be modified and modernized,” she argued. “They are =0 beautiful, and they afford oppor- tunity for charming coquetry instead of for thig frank hugging. Why can we not revive the open waltzes, in which the partners danced lightly and delicately, holding themselves apart? “I don't believe in making the doing of one thing an excuse for doing some- thing else. I wouldn’t put on a lathing suit and then give a tea party. Yet so many persons just now seem to be dancing, not for the joy of the dance, but for the sake of lying in each other's arms." Fashion Hints by May Manton & 8794 (With Basting Line Seam Allowance) Child's Dress, 4,6 and 8 year, Over-bodices are as fashionable for children as they are for the grown-ups and this little dress is one of the prettiest end quaintest possible, In the picture, the blouse and the skirt are made of challis, the collar cuffs and the over- bodice is made of taffeta. The plain little blouse is joined to the skirt and the over-bodice is closed at the front, although the straps on the shoulders are lapped and buttoned to- gether. All the seams are allowed on the pattern and the basting line also is marked. It is impossible to go astray, therefore making 1s. a_very simple and matter. The challis and the taffeta make an excellent contrast, but this little dress could be made of almost any sea- sonable, child-like material or of one material throughout as well as of two.

ANDREW MACK GETS PRAISE FROM CRITIC In commenting on “The Irish Dragoon,” Andrew Mack's play which comes to the Russwin Lyceum Thurs- day, November 4, the dramatic of the Newark News say “The American stage will not lack for romantic drama so long as An- drew Mack and Chauncey Olcott. pre- and Theodore Burt Sayre, erstwhile reader of plays for the late Charles Frohman, vehicles for comedians. “As theatrical tailor, Mr. & successfully took Mr. Mack's me a decade ago, and in ‘The Bold So, Boy' provided him with a role & neatly fitting as the proverbial glove. In fashioning “The lrish Dragoon’ for his use this season, he has supplied either of those singing e ment in which the threads of romanc and comedy are interwoven with ef- the make-believe 'of the stage with dulgent eye. Lacking though it literary distinction and novelty in d matic invention, such a work is wel- come in these daysof too much realism and materialism in depicting life on the mimic scene. Ola fashioned as a mid-Victorian hair wreath, it is re- spectable. For many who may make its acqutainance it will have no little of the charm they discovered in their impressionable outh when reading the fiction of ‘Harry Lorrequer's’ author. “The Irish dragoon of Mr. Lever's imagination and Mr. Sayre's adapta- tion lived in the stirring times of the Napoleonic wars. This Charles O'Mal- ley in his military togs is a picturesque figure, not more so than the British officers, who wined and dined with him, entered the lists of love with him, crossed blades with him and car- ried the British flag with him to Spain. With little money in his purse, but carrying a bold front, fond of adven- tures and reckless in pursuing them, gifted with a nimble wit and blar- neying tongue, he was the sort of gal- lant who easily won women's hearts and the type of manhood who en- deared himself to his honest fellows.” POLI PLAYERS IN “KICK-IN” THIS WEEK The Poli Players will appear twice daily all this week in “Kick In No peculiar a title and yet, when one ha seen the piece, he is ready to admit that no other title would be so ap- plicable. The words *kick in” occur only once in the dialogue, but when come as the climax to such a ! stirring scene then their fitness as a title for the play is realized instantly. | Chick Hewes hurls the command at his cringing brother-in-law, a dope flend, who has in his possession a $20,000 diamond necklace for which the police are scouring the town. Chick has commanded the boy to hand over all his morphine. The boy complies. Not sure that he has given over all the white powder, Chick in- dicates that he would search the dope user. Realizing that if he is searched, the diamond necklace will be found, the boy grows terror-stricken and, lift- ing a chair over his head in a threat- ening manner, he yells at Chick to stand off and not to touch him. “Kick In!” eries Chick, holding out his hand, and the boy slowly draws the $20,000 string of jewels and gives them up.

Last night I was thinking of certain women. Just a few seconds later I found myself thinking of a place T visited eight summers ago. What made me think of that place, I wondered And then 1 traced back with conscious effort the road over which subconscious thought had flown so quickly. The woman I thought of is a certain type. I had been analyzing her and had thougit of two other women whom 1 felt | would be peculiarly congenial to her. Then my mind had picked out for contrast a woman of the opposite type. 1 wondered what this woman was doing this winter; I remembered that the last time I heard of her she had been to the tropics. I thought of the summer I went to the tropics myself, 1 thought of a horse- back ride I took then, and then of another 1 took in the place I visited eight summers ago. My Mind Did All This Traveling In a Few Seconds. All this, which I have chronicled so tedlously, passed through my mind in a few seconds. Just think of it, I had recalled four personali- ties, traveled thousands of miles and ranged over the experiences of years in that brief time! Did you ever realize how much of our life is mental—that is how muca consists in thoughts rather than sensations The animal's only life js in his present sensation (or at least that is the general opinion.) While with us, the momery of past experience, the anticipation of future experience and the dreation of imaginary experience play far larger part in our life than the pres- cnt sensation. a a “HIGH JINKS” HERE TOMORROW NIGHT “High Jinks,” the jollity which Arthur Hammerstein will pre- sent at the Lyceum Tuesday evening, November 2, concerns itself with a magic perfume guaranteed to create general hilarity. This plot is thick- ened by the introduction of an irate F'renchman, a wandering grass- widow, and a certain doctor whose amiable disposition prevents him from resisting the embraces of a fair female patient under the influence of the per- fume. When the doctor, to appease the Frenchman whose wife he has kissed, agrees to introduce his own wife, that she in her turn may be kissed by the Frenchman, a substitute is deemed necessary. A friend who always does the wrong thing at the right time further complicates the muddle of fun by introducing a pro- fessional dancer to act as the substi- tute. The hilarity mounts higher and musical | higher as the complications become more and more tangled. Throughout it all there are freely sprinkled catchy melodies, and a pretty chorus of joy- ous girls acds to the liveliness with That Mind of Ours! song and dance and laughter.

And yet when Tennyson wants to describe « transcending sweetness, he does not use as his measure any actual sen- sation but rather the mind's creu- tion of imaginary semsation—'‘sweet as kisses by hopeless fancy feigned on lips that are for others.” £3 If you lived right on the side mountain and never went any far- ther away from it you might never realize what a tremendous height it was.
