FASHIONS IN DANCING.
Slower and Simpler Steps are Demanded. It has been decided that fashions in dancing are to be governed to a large extent by fashions in women’s dress. Slower and simpler steps are demanded by the long evening frocks and hence the popularity in Paris of the simplified tango " La Ranchera ** and of El Antador,” a languorous movement from Brazil. Other dignified and simple dances are the “ Tango-y-Paso ** from Spain and the “ Phylo-Step from America. There is so seldom a marked change in fashions for men that the present indications of a return of the real square-cut beard are of particular importance. Not only does President Doumer favour such a beard; several important members of his entourage do the like and already the cult is spreading in social and political circle* A virulent outbreak of beards is also ported from Nancy where what is known as “ Kruger ” or “ Song and Dance ” whiskers * have lately become very fashionable.
