To read the newspapera ons" might sometimes imagine that wars, rumours of. wars, policies, education, progress, and international rivalries occupied the vast bulk of public interest. But everyong knows that all these things are so much window-dressing. The only thing that really interests people permanently is men and women and their relationships to each other. For this reason life, as presented by what is known as "nowa” has a hollow ring.

OUR COMIC YOUNG MEN. SAID TO HAVE LOST ALL SENSE OF OCCASION.

The young

man of to-day not only wears. strange trousers and cultivates a wap-like waist, writes a correspondent in a Home paper. He has lost all sense of occasion.

One night recently at the theatre. I sat next to a young man in plus fours. The regulations about evening dress were re- laxed in the theatre during the war and have never been reimposed, but there is something incongruous about a man_in golfing kit in the stalls of a theatre. The incongruity was all the more marked bes cause if the young man in question had been playing golf and had not time to change his suit he had found time to pat on dancing shoes. No doubt he was going on to a night club.""

Often at dances at clubs and restaur ante I have seen men in similarly un- suitable attire such as Fair isle jumpers, tennis clothes, and even shouting kit. At clubs you may often ece the samo thing.

VOGUE OF THE VALSE,

DANCE RETURNS TO GRACEFUL

FAVOUR.

BY LADY KORALL DENTINCE. Į

No time is so fascinating as three-time, because it is the catural time. No matter how savage the breast, most human beings will respond to it. If they have: any sense of rhythun in them at all.

Few can sit quite unmoved, or unde sirous of movement, while the strains of a good valse—I hate “waltz-sound in their cars. There is something so cap uvating, so lilting, and so romantic in

real valse tune that the feet refuse to be still when it is played.

And now-little by little-the valso is returning to its own. More and more often its banished name is seen on pro- grammes, oftener and oftener its strains are heard in ballrooms.

Since it was introduced into England, the valse has been, on and off, the ac cepted step of European society, just as the jazz steps are the natural movement at the Negro and the country dances the pier ones of the persant And thus we got the three great divisions of music: thretimo, syncopation, and two- or four time, the latter beard to per fection in Furcell's exquisite "Nymphs and Shepherds."

No one has any objection to a busy man who comes on in his offer.clothes to dine at the club, because he has not the time to go home and change. But this is quite different from appearing in sporting attire. The man who has leisure for games should have leisure The first is always elegant and often enough to make himself presentable and, amorous, the second is sometimes plain- to observe the converanses, tive and strongly characteristic of the

I do not object to new fashion. Latton-European native, and the third is un move with the times. But I object to mixed fashions. To quote Carlyle, Clothes give us individuality, distino tions, social polity. No one would play golf in an evening dress suit and a white waistcoat, or ge shooting in a frock-pont and a top hat. Therefore why dance and dine in plus fours ?

in Vienna they have a particular way of their own of treating three-time tunes, which is to remain half a beat longer on a second note of the bar, and thus leave only a quarter of a beat for the last note. This gives it the swing and. lils rarely seen anywhere else
