TALES OF TWO DANCES.
London Society at First RebeIed
Against Waltz and Polka.

When the waltz first appeared in
London it raised a social rumpus. The
dance came from Poland to London
by way of Portsmouth, where its adj
vantages were at once apparent to
the women, though the men did not
much like seeing other men clasping
their wives. 1t was first danced at
Almack's in London by Lady Jersey
and two or three Of her friends, and
society was riven from top to bottom
into the walters and anti-waltzers. In
spite Of Lady Jerseys powerful infu-
ence, there seemed little chance of the
acceptance Of the waltz. In 1916 the
allied sovereigns came to London and
visited Almacks. There they Joined In
the waltz and removed it from the
realm of discussion. The waltz needed
but three sovereigns to make 1t re-
spectacle.
The polka excited almost as much
controversy as the waltz on its first in
PRODUCTION into England. Lady Dor
othy Nevill recalls n scene at ball in
the late thirties when a deputation Of
ladies begged the hostess, Mrs. Spencer
Stanhope, to allow the polka to be
danced by six ladies who understood
1t. Permission being accorded, the six
stepped out with their partners, all OF
them, curiously enough. dressed in
black. which caused people to say it
was a chimney sweeps dance. EX-
traordinary excitement was created by
the innovation. Lady Jersey. the Ouch
ess of Bedford and a number Of other
women clambering up on the chairs
and benches to gain a better view.

Of the month, from which we are
perpetually excused, and the twenty

Although iFebruary contains only
twcnty-eight days, it is our most
