three-quarters length and their full, flaring cuffs. 
Surely the dances will be a delight to the fair sex 
this year, as affording them a dance to blaze the eyes 
of the less fortunate sex with the most bewitching and 
demure of dancing costumes. The tight-fitting bodice 
of grandmother’s time has returned, a thing of beauty 
this time and not of seams; it is quaint and becoming, 
being used to greatest advantage, perhaps, with a 
ruffled, lace skirt. Even more becoming is the Vie- 
torian bodice, which is apparently slipping down off 
the shoulders, held in place only by a precarious band 
of tulle or erystal or velvet. Milady has decided that, 
however her dancing frock is made, there shall be only 
a semblance of a sleeve—to make up for the long 
sleeves in her day blouses presumably. Most of the 
skirts are short and very full, with flounces; a few if 
they are wide, many if they are narrow. One of the 
daintiest and most girlish of the dancing frocks seen 
this season was an exquisitely simple yellow taffeta. 
Interest must center in the skirt, which was made of 
scalloped flounces of yellow, bound with taffeta, and 
with a high, erushed girdle: similarly. scalloped and 
bound of the lower edge, since there was so little 
bodice as to make it a negligible factor. It was of 
cream lace, very low and with the merest hint of a 
sleeve. Another gown, which promises to be much in 
favor for dancing this season, is made with a short, full 
skirt with a very high girdle and a bodice of tulle, 
with sleeves modestly adapted. The one seen was of 
rose taffeta with a white tulle bodice. There was not 
even a hint of trimming on the gown, except where a

untrimmed frocks, made up even in lovely, soft cotton 
fabries, promise to be in favor here this season. 
Announcement comes from G. P. Brackett, manager 
of the Hotel Ocean-Manor at Marblehead Neck, burned 
last winter, that this hostelry will not be rebuilt for this 
season. ‘This hotel was one of two North Shore hotels 
to become a prey to the flames since the close of last 
sason. The Surfside Auto Inn at Gloucester suffered, a 
similar fate. In all probability next season will see a 
new structure on the site of the Ocean-Manor, or the 
Nanepashemet, as it was more familiarly known. The 
Hotel Rock-Mere on the mainland at Marblehead, and 
under the same management as the Ocean-Manor, wiil 
open this season on May 209, just in time for the holiday 
visitors to the shore. Since last summer considerable 
improvements have been made at the Rock-Mere, among 
them several new private baths, 
Tur Granp Army of the Republic and its affiliated 
organizations, the Women’s Relief Corps and the Sons of - 
Veterans marched on Boston this week. The old sold- 
iers have served their country well. The work they did 
has assured this nation the peace we now enjoy. If that 
war had not been fought to a finish with success for the 
cause of the Union there is no avoiding the conclusion 
that the nations of Europe would have inevitably gained 
a foothold in America. If such had been the outcome 
of a confederate victory, this country would now be 
entangled in this terrible world war. A peaceful con- 
vention of old soldiers in the days of rest is a marked 
contrast to the martial councils of the old world.
