THE NEW "WAGGLE" IN PARIS.

, Parisian ;a <|andies : are greatly, exer^ij&d in their minds jußt J now; ass 'ft? wTia&'jlyle ? of stick they ought to adopt during the present season, They are tired of the gQldjrkaqbbecl ? banes, tb^ and the canes with duck's beaks, which* were once the , rage,. An energetiq ?-WC., ventor has,, therefore, started, a fciyfeK stick which almost aspires' .to.' |W'dig*> nity and dimensions of a -eiidgel^&Ki . the pomine or pommel of whteh is Me,:' claw of a cray fish. The article "is already in the' hands of •* many of -the gaudins, and promises to be< a fashionable. success. While the members loft jmeJ#Qpolitan " masherdom " are .^tihuff busy about the " nice conduct " ofVapray jish cane, their female counterparts, are*' puzzled as to the style of walking ; they shall adopt for the season. l Aa'fulg are worn at this period of the year th,e carriage prescribed is that of short. steps, with the "waggle "of the little bird known as the bergeronnet{;e .or wa^rwagtail. This J* waggle." should,* "6i course, be as gracefiiras the undulating sweep of the hips being well accentuated. The Parisienne looks, as a rule, adorable in furs, but she is sometimes tempted to put in , too . much " waggle." The best' dancing masters and professors of calisthenics in convents, boarding schools, lyceums for sweet girl graduates,' aud- similar 'establishments are, therefore, engaged *at the present moment in instructing their pupils in what may be called the art of "waggling" In any. case, and whether Parisiennes r i mita'te* the bergerdnnette ' : gricefully ?or with gaucheriey their -.gait when enveloped in the furred garments of winter is much preferable to that which ;was |th 6 fashion in the mild season, , wljen" fjFey wore mannish jackets and felt hats, jvith a " Mephisto-may-care " look about them. They then used to'" walk wffctr 1 - cavalierlike strides, their hands in " gjide-ppckets and parasols placed jauntily Under their arms. The worst of " waggles "is certainly preferable to" the strides which suggest the fencing school -or the camp. — Daily Telegraph Paris Telegram. ,
