The Latest Dances.

Society Is not much interested in the sub
Jet OF dancing. either art as a
recreation. these warm days. The dancing
masters. however, who held their conven-
ton last week in Milwaukee, gave the sub
Ject serious and deep thought What dances
shall the smart set use next winter 1t was
their business 10 decide, as they did. after
holding many sessions IN order TO discuss
the subject. Many new and intricate dances
were brought before this convention Of
dancing masters. and most Of them were
rejected.
A feature Of the convention was the dem
onstration Of dance for children by Prof.
Duryea, OF New York. II is probable that
his dance. The Christmas Gavotte," will
be generally taught next season. OF the
many dances submitted only four were ac-
cepted- These were three new round
dances, a Military Dip" waltz, invented
by Professor Soriey, Of Springfield. Mass,
which Is In three-four time and has a dip
TO each move, instead of to every third
STEP as of old; the olympia" two-step
by Professor Nauman. of Albany, N Y;
1.-The Antlers Gavotte," by Professor Con-
nelly. of Oswego, and 1.-The Drawing
Room Lancers," by Professor LOOMS, OF
Trenton. y. ]. These dances will be the
correct thing for next winter, but IL is a
question whether dance-lovers will give UP
the familiar two-step and waltz. which are
popular everywhere for new and strange
steps, whether they be graceful or not.

The House Party.

New York World
In old days people came and went to
country houses a good deal of their own
volition; they were often compelled TO stop
by the exigencies of travel at this or that
house, where. owing to the lack of tele-
graphs, telephones or even speedy mails,
they could not announce their coming be-
forehand. and from stress of weather or
other reasons were often obliged TO linger
sometimes for days. The hospitality shown
them was none the less. and the capacity
Of those old houses for the sheltering of
guests. although frequently overtaxed.
never seemed to fail Now we have changed
all that and. modelling the house party
more closely ali the time on it's English
prototype, guests are invited on certain
definite dates Tor definite visits of the week
end, day even a few hours 1t is con-
stdered the height of discOurteSy for a
guest TO remain at a house party an hour
longer than the time called for III his
her invitation. The necessity for this ar
rangement of time is manifest. The COM
fort both of hosts and guests can only be
conserved by a strict adherence TO the rule.
One of the greatest problems, especially of
the summer, to the modern host or hostess
Is the parceling out of the time so that the
coming and going of guests Will not con-
fiict, and that their houses may be con-
stantly filed. and with people who are
congenial TO each other. The splitting up of
New York society into sets, with their
varied qualifications and the hostility
which exists between several of these sets,
makes the task of the New York hostess
who may wish TO have house parties at her
country villa "A peculiarly difficult one
just at present. II she be a woman of kind
~ nature and wide acquaintance she may
have friends in several of the sets, and she
must apportion her invitations and her
time that by no possibility shall any of the
enemies be brought together under her
roof. To prevent this requires not only
tact and judgment, but a constant study of
the social barometer and reliable and early
sources OF information to the breaking
out OF feuds, the patching up of others,
and TO the relative degree of friendship
kind hard feeling existing, for ex-
ample, between Mrs. A. and Mrs. b. or
Mr.. and Mrs. d. When all these matters
are considered IL is little less than remark
able that house parties should continue to
be so popular and that on the whole so lit
tie scandal or even gossip should result
from them.
