Beginning.

Johann Strauss, the great waltz
erkoenign Of Vienna has come out
for a slower waltz. He says the
present generation prefers the SLOW
minuet 10 the rapid wbirl Of the
the Viennese waltz introduced by
his father years ago. Look around
the ballroom" says Strauss, -and
you will find, no matter how de-
Iicious the waltz music that the
orchestra may be playing, that the
majority Of ladies remain seated
while gentlemen lounge around the
pillars and doors. All the real
pleasure In dancing Il lost, and
only the conversation dance still
holds its ground. / intend to coln-
bine the conversation dance with
the waltz, calling the new form the
minuet waltz"
