The waltz is unchanged. 1t never will
be changed. There is something too sat
isfying about its present dreamy rhythm,
with the glide and the sway that carry
you on in oblivion of everything except
an ccstatic sense Of graceful motion.
But the two step may be danced in sew
cral ways There is the plain two step
with the waltz position and its simple
ovolutions; there is the glide two step,
into which four Ealops enter before the
regular long two step is taken, and there
is the two step called the Yale, in which
n man holds his partner to one side at
arms length and they go sweeping down
the floor, carrying all before them with
the jolly vigor of the dances
One thing in the dancing world is GER
tain, and that is the decline and fall of
the cake walk. Many people objected to
backing up for it, and many people were
unwilling to go to see their friends per-
form in it. So it is no wonder that after
holding its place for two years it has
died down as quickly as it came.
And after the cake walk-what next?
BY all the signs of the times the pendu-
lum is to swing clear to its other limit.
In place of the comical, rollicking, broad
steps of the coon" dance, we are to have
the dainty, swaying, gentle measures OF
our grandmothers' days. The minuet is
coming back.
