BY BEATRICE BURGAN Timet Unman gar* Editor MANY of the subdebs just beginning to Join in the social life have . learned some of their social graces in Mrs William Byram Gates’ (lancing class which meets in the ballroom of the Propylaeum Club. Numerous dancing clubs of boys and girls have been started by groups who are taught grace by Mrs Gates One of these groups, active all during the wtr.’er season was the Junior Assembly. Many of its member will dance In a recital to be presented by Mrs. Gates’ pupils Satur-

da- April 6 in the Athenaeum, at her fifth annual spring party. These spring parties always have been a high light in the young set s calendar Friends who have outgrown the dancing school return, and parents and relatives attend U> witness the program, prepared from the beginning of the season. Much of the success of the recitals has been due to the appropriate and effective costumes, designed and made by Mrs Romney Willson. For several years costuming has been Mrs. Willson's avocation, and this year's rectal personnel will be the fifth that she will have costumed. As soon as Mrs. Gates has chosen the dancing numbers to b** executed in the recital, Mrs. Willson visits libraries with her pencil and sketch book at hand. This

Accessories of Moment Trail Motif Closely Kn t'mitr* Prr* PARIS—What a hook-up there is these davs between head and foot, belt purse, scarf and glove! A dot m the scarf calls for a dot on the shoe and purse: hand-stitch-ing on the purse and belt; cut-outs on collar are practically a demand bid for cut-outs in the spring and summer slipper, and a belt with an exotic buckle on it certainly is an obvious suggestion to the pocketbook to have one like it. And so it goes—this accessory business. A particularly novel treatment in lacing with narrow and soft leather things, is for a sport suit in brown wool. The fop of the skirt around the waist is slit down for about three me he in front or at the side, and la> and up again with the soft leather. At the hem of the skirt is another slit about six inches deep and laced up in the same manner, but looser so the slit actually is opened a bit. The leather shoe that accom-

One of the most attractive of the costumes, designed by Mrs. Willson is a faithful reproduction of a costume in Monet's painting of Lola de Valance. Barbara Brown will wear it in a Seville dance. Six colors will be combined in the styling of the Tarantella costumes, and a Javanese costume will be richly ornamented. Doris Wood and Alice Green, who will dance a gavotte, will wear gowns reproductions of the frocks worn by seventeenth century- little girls. Nancy Briggs, who Mil dance the solo in the ballet to Biahm’s waltz and Chopin’s prelude will wear a long white ballet costume. A group from the Junior Assembly will appear in the ballroom tango number. for which Mrs. Willson has designed costumes. panies this outfit cleverly has taken its cue from the skirt and brightly laced itself up the outside to the top of the instep, making a snug-fitting walking shoe that is smartness itself The hint is. of course, that there should be some connecting link throughout the ensemble so that its impression is one of having been carefully planned from the moment of conception.

Men Watch Waistlines, Accounting for Greater Male Interest in Foods Steward of Prominent New York Club Notes Change in Eating Habits; Few Show Fickleness in Taste. BY HELEN LINDSAY “IVy|EN know good food and they are beginning to know what food is dVI. g 00( i for them.” says a steward of one of the most famous downtown clubs in New York. "Seventy-five per cent of club guests are interested in diet and have joined the women in watching their waistlines." From facts gleaned from 900 luncheons served daily, this steward has passed along information which will be of interest to all of the housewives of the country, for they still remember that the "quickest way to man's heart is through his stomach.” Preferences of each club lunch patron have been checked carefully

by the club manager, and in many cases noted in a book. These notes reveal that only a small percentage of patrons shows peculiarities of taste, or is listed as fickle, because they order anew dish every day. Fifty per cent of one club's members is known to be particular about vegetables, demanding that they be freshly cooked and tasty. Important to the older clientele of the clubs are salad dressings, many following the rite of mixing it themselves, right at the table. Anew departure for many club guests, it was revealed, is to observe their diets from a nutritional point of view, as well as for taste. Men actually are becoming interested in heretofore unfamiliar subjects, such as vitamins, mineral salts and calories. Many of them are watching their figures, guarding their waistlines al-

most as carefully as are women. This Is particularly true in large cities, where inactive lives tend to increase waistlines and shorten the lifeline. Men are cutting down on starches in their diets, and are ordering foods which are non-fattening. bub bub Masculine Taste Still Strong for Meat MEAT, of course, remains popular with men. and the weight-watchers know that protein is necessary to well-being. Shell fish are popular, as are first-course cocktails of clam or tomato juice. To find out what bread men like at one large club several types of bread were served every day, and the amount and kinds sent back carefully checked. In this connection it was found that the dark breads are popular, and that breads which control weight were preferred. Among the dishes popular with men are listed roast prime ribs of beef, browned corn beef hash, boiled New England dinner and roast duckling. Other favorite foods include vegetable casseroles, fish (smoked, pan fried or grilled), omelettes and the all-vegetable luncheon. Fruits, fresh or stewed, rank high among desserts, and cheese of all kinds is listed among “best sellers.” 808 B B B “Court of Fashions ” Arranged by League Leader AMONG the ten pageants which have been arranged for the industrial exposition, "Philadelphia on Parade,” to be held in Philadelphia from May 9 to 18, is a “Court of Fashions,” which will show costumes from the period of powder wigs and hoop skirts to the present day. The pageant has been arranged by Mrs. Thomas Hart Jr., president of the Philadelphia Junior League.
