There are two dance halls in PIaciila

Judging by the tough and gener-

surprised To find the 'cuect very
dccorous and very tame affair. The
man and the woman who IL his
partner face each other at a dis
lance OF about sixteen feet and 20
through series of simple. slow
steps which are quite graceful and
rather like o minuei. Each OF the
dancers has handkerchief IN the
right hand. which Is waved In time
with the music. The 'cueca' IL
rather pretty dance and Is free from
