WOMAN'S
THE CHARLESTON GIRL.
PREFERENCE FOR LACE AND GEORGETTE.
"This," began the salewoman in an ingratiating tone, as she held- out a beautifully sequined evening frock, ia in very "picturesq.te colouring, and would....
"No," came in emphatic tones from her ellent, "I am very keen on the Charleston, and I want either georgette and fringe, or coloured Ince."
Many girls who are similarly enthusiastic over the Charleston will re-echo her preference. It is usually the lighter georgette and luce type of frock which looks prettiest when the wearers become vigorous over this newer dance.
A Fabric Dancers Favour..

A dark cardinal lace gown, with a batiste chrysanthemum of exact- ly the same, shade on the right shoulder, proved charming the other night at a London 'hotel. So did a dress of jungle-green chiffon banded at the bottom and yoked at the top in chiffon velvet to thatch.

Colourful Yellow.
Yellow in the ballroom is a enlour that is not overdone at the moment, but one realises how well it can look in the duffodil tint Miss. Phyllis Titmuss has chosen for the first frock she wears in the new play at the Comedy, "Half a Loat." The skirt is made with panels that are outlined with a fairly broad band of closely set yellow glass beads set in rows. The bodice is ornamented with beads to match. In another act she wears a very simple dress of water-green chiffon, the sleeves loose, belt draped, and three mon- ster water-lilies at the waist.
Frequent Use Of Feathers And
Fringe.
There is a vogue for ostrich feather trimming again. Often the feathers are placed at the end of a floating panel. They also ap pear in clumps placed here and there on the skirt,
Fringes, which away with pretty effects as the wearer dancos, na- turally are favoured too. They are of silk or tubular chiffon, and they usually match the gown they
ornament.
In spite of the energy of the Charleston, evening shoes, elabor- ately trimmed, with struas and diamante, and seeming more prac tieal for wear during a courtly and stately measure, are much in demand. Some have the vamp outlined, some have the front of the shoc entirely in diamante, and others have heels studded with
