Against the new complicated tango are
all the young dancing men. who are too
languid to apply themselves to learn the
seventy two steps needful. On the other
hand, not only the girls, but married
women are throwing gold pieces after
dancing masters and developing great
proficiency. At most country houses tango
teachers are brought from London. but
