The popularity Of waltz came
near being Its downfall, and the dane
masters have taken final and stern
steps to rescue it from what was dam
gerously near the ragtirne limit.

Eyed Bess,n and a number of other
popular waltz compositions are to be
discarded, and such once popular Y

New Position#Decided Upon.
a "position' has beer decided upon
that renders anything like a strangle-
hold impossible.
This new position which has been
ofncially declared correct, for all
round dances. compels the gentleman
to place his right han firmly on the
center OF the lady'sg back, the arm
His left hand is held lower than the
hip, and is bent at h elbow.
If he keeps this position his sleeve
is sure to be saved from powder marks,
and Ii he speaks to his partner he will
have to shout.
And that's the secret-don't get too
close.
Heretofore the arm of the gentleman
was FIRMLY around the lady's waist
and that may have had some effect
upon the popularity of that good old
dance.
The waltz time originally written

into '.2S,' and .'4-11-44," is to be strictly
adhered to-. and the waltz is to be
faster by at least half a measure.

to hop to keep time with the old mas
tiers.
..The waltz is always with u.s. said
losing it's place, because 1t was abused.
THE positions became dangerously
near the line that could be termed OBJ
~jectionable; but the new position will
render all censure impossible, and the
waltz as it should be, will be even more
popular than ever before.
Nothing will ever take it's place. It
has destinations all its own. It is the
dance of all classes and all ages, and it
has been saved"

way, but that was what he meant.
The 'two-step," being a round dance
is also reformed, as the position is the
same as in the waltz.
The two-step, however, is Dying ou'
