There are always new ideas for danc-ing-attractions at the beginning of each season, and it is said that in Hawkes Bay, where there are very fashionablo gatherings, the "freak dance" is causing a great deal of fun. It is a case of inexpensive fancy dress, and the varieties are said to be most comical at times, as well as smart and becoming. One is being arranged in Wellington, and the young people will ■ probably originate some capital costumes.
