The Eternal Feminine.

The waltz may be ascribed to the reaction following a long and harassing war, and offers * spectacle of very scanty feminine attire. A story In a newspaper-dated June 8, 1812, relates: “A young > lady of rank and , high condltibp, inthswarmth of her dancing heart, thus addressed her partner at the late lord mayor’s ban : •God bless yon! take care you don’t tread upon my muslin gown, for you 'seo that I have nothing under it.’ ” Lady Browhlow describing feminine dress a few years earlier, says: "It consisted of a gown tres-decollete, and short walsted, with apparently ’only one garment under it . • .a shawl hung over the shoulders.” By substituting fur stole or tulle scarf for “shawl" the description would do for ' the modes of 1919.
