PARIS September t The dance frocks of to-day can ber divided into two categorias the stiff little bouffant frocks, made generally of taffetas and the soft, clinging sheath frook, made in some supple material There is always a great demand for the former-type-an-it is easy to us and ment practical for actual dancing.The hips are puffed, but only slightly, and the are held out by a padding of stiff musiin, and not wire, as used to be they case when this oth-new style was first introduce The plain, and is devoid of all trimming. flat bodice finishes in a point

other than a single flower, or a knot of tulle on the shoulder or at the waist line. Panels of tulle, or an apron front of tulle, are sometimes added to frocks of this kind and the effect is good. Drewall is showing one such model at Prewar with an apron front in tulle stitched all over with tiny bunches of feather strands held to gether with a flat diamente band. The effect of this is delightfully fluffy and Fairylike, especially when carried out in white.
For the second variety of frock, velyet. moirs or any of the silk crepes are used, and they are cut long and clinging, sones times much of both that they are far! from being pratical for danco wear. Fur trims frocks of this kind quite a lot,
The moiré danes. feock in white, rost pink or turquoise blue, draped and wrapped righs over, is exceedingly popa- lar. Leanne Lanvin is one of its cham. pions but she adds here and there large mutifs embroidered closely in crewel silks.
Girls dis not wear sleeves in their dance frocks, but they always take care to cover up their shoulders. The majority of frocks designed to appear nowhere else but in a danes room rarely pass the ankle; in fact, many of them fail to reach even this important length limit..
White is most popular as a colour, and, after this, all pastel shades.
The girl who aims at being well-groomed in every detail always carries a small fan or a vanity bag that dangles, from ber wrist and is chosen so that the colourings and details time perfectly with the rest of her toilette,
Long before Cleopatra spent her days devising ways and means for staving of the ravages of time, women had set them selves, the same problem and, né doubt, long after Cleopatra is no longer eren a memory women will still be engaged in solving it. On of the biggest cares, of course, is that of preserving the skin in all its freshness and colouring one of the biggest and one of the most difficult.
Many modern women try to achieve this by adopting the stretching method, but this requires constant attention, and, f not done properly or if carried to any exaggerated limit, is likely to alter the shape of the mouth or other important mobile feature of the face.

Another important precaution to tako is that of never washing the face in or dinary water. All beauty specialists advise the use of distilled or rose water for facial ablution, and then a good face cream massaged well in. Women who carry out this treatment themselves should remember never to masage in any direc tion other than an upward one, and never to apply any but a gentle, regular move Fore ment and a minimum of force,

The same contrast of deep crimson with white tips is employed for the naile. The desired crimson tint can be obtained by employing a varnish with a touch of rouge in it before polishing.

The American idea of having a brilli antly-polished table and setting it with mats instead of a cloth has grown tremend ously since the innovation was first in troduced in this part of the world, "but thens are still many women whe protest against this form of table decoration and clamour for the most elaborate damask or linen cloth, inlet very often with bunds af insertion.y
