Charm, a quality that has really been absent from the dance dresses for several years, now prerades all the large fashion centres when ladies step out' to music. The subtly "exciting, charm of the waltz is sowed into our summer dance dresses. Whatever they wore to shock you into attention elsewhere, the women who make fashions are out to charm when they dance.

ACQUIREMENT OF POISE

A most important quality to develop is poise. It is necessary to social behaviour, too. Poise can be defined as a calm exterior.. And the advantage of a calm exterior is that it gives you a defence, a bulwark" behind which you think. No matter what is going on inside yourself, you can carry off the most embarrassing scene providing you can summon composure. What goes on in many a person hidden beneath a bland face only that person knows. It is only when self- consciousness seizes our minds that our bodies become huge, in- manageable masses of hands, arms, legs and tongues.

Poise requires practice. Yet it can you accept a cigarette, want the be acquired. "How? Find some cigarette. Be definite. Don't play way to confidence.
