jectionable methods and position of the
waltz as it exists today. 1t shows that
in point Of popularity the waltz is like
all things human. In the most fashion
able dancing schools in New York,
where the future bellies of the four hum
dred are taught, the very position
which Prof Gilbert speaking for his
brethren of the dance so bitterly at
tacks, is considered strictly au fait.
Therefore. this decision of the dancing
masters is likely to create no end Of
trouble, because the debutantes Of last
season, for instance are now practical
ly informed that they are dancing in an
ill-mannered way.
Several of them to whom Prof Gil
bert's ideas were communicated by the
writer, stated that they gravely doubt
ed if they should make the change de-
sired, because they saw nothing in it
that was disagreeable, that the ma
jOrity Of persons had learned to dance
that way, that it was an extremely diff
ficult task to eliminate any such meth
cd, and that they thought it would be
a long time before anything in the
nature of the suggested change would
take place.
Still, Dame Fashion bows to the
dancing master, and to certain extent
she rules the world. Therefore it is
quite likely that Prof. Gilberts attack
means the change that he says must
take place in the waltz before it is
really good form. Since the days when
the dance came to us from Bohemia
early in the present century, there has
been no such attack upon the meth
DDS generally prevalent as that of Prof
Gilbert. There is no change in the
principle of the dance, and it will still
be the rule for the gentleman to have
his right arm around his pretty part
ners waist and to wheel rapidly
around on an axis of their own and ad-
vance at the same time around the
room.
Those of us who dance the waltz will
be able to be strictly Fashionable by
adhering to the old principle of music
in three-quarter time. 1t used to be
that the waltz a deuX temps ruled us,
but this was not so graceful as the
original because it did not correspond
so we'll to the rhythm Of the music
Perhaps, to be strictly correct, we
should say that the form now consid-
cred the best is that known as the
waltz a tros temps.
1t is very pleasant to know, however,
that we can still waltz For no one
who dances, and few people do not, will
attempt to deny that when once the
departure is made from the square
dance, there is nothing more delightful
than to waltz with partner of grace
and skill.

To the Editor of the Globe.
There seems to have been misconstructlon
put upon the report of the action OF the
American Society of Professors OF Dancing.
The objects of the American society are to
secure advancement in the art OF dancing,
an identical method OF instruction, to correct
and remedy existing abuses modify, COM
pose and arrange dances, with suitable music.
The convention did not express itself against
the waltz, nor did it say that 1t should De
barred from polite society. The only point
of attack was upon the position IN whlch
1t is being danced. The waltz has not de-
generated, except in the position in which 1t
is danced by a certain class of people: Ihls
is the class who are guilty OF atfectat1On IN
dancing. The most common of the various
false positions in the waltz, and tWo-step as
well, is that in which the man lhslSIs upon
holding the Womans hand, up nearly under
his left ear. Students seem especially fond
Of this absurd position. 1t is the result OF
palm upward, instead Of keeping his palm
downward and holding her hand lightly IN
his bended fingers. The woman S hand should
also be palm downward.
With the mans palm upward and the wo
mans hand resting in it, the natural tend
ency of the man is to raise his hand until
IN some cases he is nesting the woman
hand up and alongside his neck. He may not
be conscious of the impropriety of the posi-.
dion, which is but a natural development OF
the false pose first taken. This position is
greo1ently accompanied by an upward and
downward vibration of the hands, winch
grew out of the extended use of the two-step
The expression OF the tWO-SCep pelnS d Sl-6llI
downward movement upon each count IN the
measure influenced the movement OF the
hand up and down in time to the well defined
accent of the two-step music. This inele-
CANT and improper movement of the hand
when once acquired, naturally appeared IN
pther round dances. hence its appearance
In the waltz.
A second false position that we meet in
the waltz is the side position, in which the
man holds the woman at his right side, with
her arm across his chest. This position
also originated with the two-step. In this
pose the men are accustomed to force the
women backward, often the entire length OF
the room without turning, which is very bad
form.
The task of stamping out the tendency to
degeneration in the waltz position is not an
easy one. We feel that united action on
the part Of legitimate teachers of dancing
is necessary, and to that end all members
of the American society are resolved to bat
tie so that the waltz shall stand pre-emln-
ent a position which it justly deserves, and
that to the disciples of terpsichore the Ian
guage of Ella Wheeler Wilcox may still be
applied
''They drift down the hall together,
He smiles in her lifted eyes;
Like waves of that mighty river,
The strains of the Danube rise.

This is in reality the first gun of the
opening of one of the most remarkable
campaigns ever undertaken in the
United States. The dancing masters
of the country who to a great extent,
control what is known as the fashion,
have always been considered the inter-
prefers of the waltz as the public want
ed it. Now it will be seen that they
have set a standard of their own and
propose to flourish or fail with it.
The position of the hand towhich Prof.
Gilbert refers. is perhaps, the most
popular in any dance of the day. 1t
extends back many years, and while
the two step may have added extern
sively to the evil it has not brought it
about altogether by any means There
fore, in attacking this position, Prof.
Gilbert has slashed at the root Of
what urban and suburban dancers
have considered the best of taste for
p very long time.

in a night and was advocated by dane

Charles Loeff1er, the veteran door,

new desk The old one had served him
over twenty-eight years, says the
Washington special correspondent of
the New York Tribune. 1t was an old
desk when it was first turned over to
Loeff1er. 1t had been an intimate ac-
quaintance Of President Lincoln, and
in stirring times would have absorbed
many things had it been human. At
the old desk thousands of prominent
men have sat to write cards to send in
to the president. Cabinet members
have sat at the desk and written their
names for autograph seekers Great
men have congregated around it and
talked over matters of the highest i'm
portance. 1t is an old fat-top desk,
with a single row of pigeon holes, the
lower part containing drawers. 1t is
probable that the desk will be preserv-
