Pope Sees Tango;
Calls it Very Dull
Removes Ban on Dance and Insti-
tutes New One in It's Place
Called the "Furiana."

PARIS, Jan. 2s.-According 10 re-
ports which have reached this city
from Rome. the pope has removed the
ban instituted against the tango with
the proviso that the name of the
dance be changed. He has also sug-
gested that another dance might well
be substituted for the tango.
Tuesday nights issue OF lie Temps
says that after the cardinal vicar had
banned the much-discussed Argentine
dance the pope summoned two young
persons belonging 10 a princely Ro-
man family and asked them to dance
the tango for him. The young couple,
looking rather abashed and surprised
at the unexpected honor. began TO
hum a well known tango melody and
danced before the pope with great
earnestness.
When their performance had been
conclt ed the pope said:
The dance is one of the dullest
things imaginable. IF sinner
SHOULD be compelled TO dance the
tango as pennance he would be treat
ed most harshly'
Forthwith, continues the article in
lie Temps, the pope decided to annul
the papal ban on the tango, on the
condition that it's name be changed
But, before dismissing the young
patrlcians who had danced for him. he
said:
Persons Of your age must dance
But why adopt the ridiculous contor-
tons of barbarians? I will show you
something really graceful"
Thereupon. he called before him
two Venetian domestics and ordered
them to dance the "Furlana", in
which, like the Brazilian Maxine. the
dancers twirl Sinuously with hands
raised and clasped above their heads.
On the recommendation of the pope
the young couple who had danced the
tango for him learned the "Furlana"
! which is now called the pope's tango.
