Dance

France's latest dance is "La Chum- berlaine," in which, ns is to be ex- peted, the umbrella plays a big part.

This, is how to do it.

The orchestra strikes up a one-step or tango. A male dancer, umbrellu over his left arm, walks alone among the dancers.

He relects the girl with whom he would like to dance. With the um- brella he hooks her partner's arm. The girl at once leaves her partner

and begins dancing with him.

The former partner, left alone with the umbrella, in turn looks roun for a partner, and so on.
