DANCING TEACHERS
TO COlIFY tango
Believe that at Present Time There
Are Too Many Varieties of
the Dance.
INNOVATIONS FROM CHINA

Paris. Feb. IAN International con-
sress Of dancing masters Is to be held
in Paris next Easter for the purpose of
''codifying'' the tango.
At present there are almost as many
varieties Of the dance as there are teach
ers, and some Of the varieties are GER
tainly OF kind that justify in some de-
gree the denunciation OF high ecciesias-
tics and royalty. But the real drawback
of this tango chaos Is the virtual impos-
sibility Of finding a partner beforehand
who can dance the same tango ~ one
self.
Consequently. the custom has grown up
Of arranging ones partner beforehand
and not dancing with any one else. As
a novelty this custom was popular last
season, and the 'unsociar' dance was
all the vogue, but now that the novelty
has worn OF the charm is rapidly evap-
Grating also.
II the tango Is codified, IL will be the
only standard ballroom dance except the
waltz. which in its early days was just
as chaotic. Meanwhile, Paris Is threat
ened with new dances. not from the Ar
gentine. but from China.
tango is no longer .'le dernier cri," but
is yielding place in the leading Paris
academies to the ''tatao" and the ia
keu." Their introduction Is on a par
with the present craze for Chinese ef-
fects in furniture and decoration and the
prevailing Orientalism in music and art.

Is ]. Pierpont Morgan a Philistine?
The art lovers of America have asked
themselves this question many times in
ward the rare and the beautiful of the
man who owns the most stupendous pri-
waite collection ever assembled-the OBJ
jects which have raised young New York
10 the first rank as a museum city?
When J. Pierpont Morgan the elder
died he left his son a great deal of money,
but with il several onerous burdens He
left him the duty of explaining q series
of colossal financial operations in which
the younger Morgan had been little save
a spectator. He left him the chieftain-
ship of the greatest financing concern i'm
the western hemisphere, and perhaps on
the globe. He left him church duties,
philanthropic duties. and social duties.
as head OF the house of Morgan. but
most perpiexing OF all he left him this
we:ghty burden, this gigantic white ele-
plant of art
Why welghty-wby a white elephant?
Because the American people have
come to believe in some way or other
without especial rhyme or reason that
these art treasures belong TO it. Per-
haps 1t is an intuitive feeling-a feeling
that American dollars, the sweat of
American crows, the straining OF Ameri-
can muscles, and the collective thinking
of American brains bought this hoard.
At Museum Receptions.
The elder Morgan fostered this idea, I'M
doubtedly He is said to have expressed
the wish to make New York the leading
art center of the world. Nothing gave
him greater pleasure than to stand as one
of the reception committee at function
of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and
meet the art aristocracy Oar different
from the aristocracy of wealth. which
crowded in.
Is ]. Pierpont Morgan the younger
chip of the old block?
He is no longer a young man. He
is now forty-seven years old. In build,
personal appearance. manner OF dress, he
greatly resembles his father at the same
age He has his fathers imperative,
forceful manner, il he lacks some of the
Olympian gruffness. He has his fathers
habits of hard work. and love OF yacht |
ing. He has fitted so well into his fathers |
niche that those who criticise the Morgan |
financial dealings often fail to discrimin- |
ate between the works OF the father and |
the works OF the SON.
But what of that other Morgan, the |
Morgan of the exquisite marble library, |
the Morgan of the Princes Gate treasure |
house, the Morgan of the Cope of Ascoli, |
the Morgan who was the despair of Eu-
rope?
outwardIy young Mr.. Morgan has
shown little interest in those things in |
which his father reveled. He has become
officially identified with the Metropolitan
Museum. hut this was to be expected ex
oficio-from the heritage of his father.
VIII Sell Portion.
Moreover-and this is the point so
eagerly watched in art circles-he admits
that he will sell part of his fathers

Missives Which Astonish Stu
dents Of Great Novelist to
Be Sold at Public Auction
February Is.

New York, Feb. 7.-students and lover
OF Thackcray may read new and mos
interesting chapter In the life Of ths
great novelist in his letters to and con-
corning Mrs. william II. Brookfeld
which form a part Of the collection Of
the late Maj william II. Lambert. which
Is to be sold at the Anderson galleries
beginning February 3.
All the world knows of Thackeray's
friendship for Mrs. Brookfield. but there
arc few living persns who know that
the friendship was. at least on Thack-
eray's part. the compelling passion Of his
life. that he was as great in his renun-
citation as in his love and that in spite
of all his care he duarreled with Mr..
Brookfieid. All this becomes known for
the first time through the letters which
Maj. Lambert guarded carefully during
his lifetime.
What was previously known of Thack-
eray's relations with Mrs. Brookfield Is
revealed In the collection Of letters once
owned by Augustin Daily and purchased
by the late ]. p. Morgan In 1912 for SIS.
300. Mai. Lambert was the underbidder
at the DAILY sale. He used to say with
much satisfaction and pride that while
Mr.. Morgan owned the letters which the
public had read, he possessed letters the
public had never seen.
Fall History Not Known.
Just how these more intimate letters
Of the Brookfield correspondence came
into Maj. IAmbert's hands is not known.
When James Russell Lowell was Min
lister to England in 1sso-lss5 Mrs. Brook
field submitted her entire Thackeray cor
respondence to him, asking that he take
out any letters which he thought should
not be published. Lowell undertook this
work. and did II with so much care and
discretion that little of private nature
remained In the Collection of Letters
of Thackeray," published in 1857. the orig
inals of which were purchased by Mr..
Morgan. Mrs. BrookfeId died in 1904,
and there seems to be no reason why the
more intimate letters should not be made
public now. Ip fact. Mrs. Brookneld her
self wrote:
IF every one OF these letters could
rightly be made public without the slight
est restriction they would all the more
rebound TO his honor"
II is necessary to recall in connection
with these letters that Thackeray's wife
lost her mind early in their married life
and had to be confined. She lived to be
seventy-six years old. long surviving her
husband.
Mrs. BrookfieId was the cousin of Ar
thur Hallam. who was immortalized by
Tennyson's In Memoriam." Her hus-
band was a clergyman of small accom-
plishments. who had known Thackeray
at Cambridge. He introduced Thackeray
into his home circle and Thackeray was
ever after-eXcept when his attentions
had excited the anger of the husbands
frequent visitor at the Brookfield home.
He wrote letters to Mrs. Brookfield from
all parts Of the world.
Many of the letters are not in the usual
vertical handwriting, well known from

common report his shrewdness was
bested? Or viii 1t be such disposal of
intrinsic elements as will destroy the
fabric of this wonderful collection.
Disregarding the care and worry, con-
slider the financial drain. Here is n
sum variously estimated at from SO 900. =
oOo TO SIS. CO., 900 tied up in beauty and
rarity. 1t pays not a cent OF interest. 1t
may be increasing in value. but that
is not income. 1t Is insured for about
s5i. 900. ooo-and the annual premiums on
this insurance amount to 5000
One would think Morgan would wish to
turn over his collections to the Ameri-
Also to get the SO, 600 annual premium
payment of his profit and loss account
What is the moving factor?
According to many II is anger at the
American people for assailing his fathers
memory at the same time as demanding
the gift of 900 in things beautiful
to look at.
Angry at the City.
According to others 1t is his anger
at the city of New York in the ILL
housing OF the collections, and dilator-
mess in erecting further museum build
ings. 1t is notorious that the elder Nor
gan was displeased at the city fathers
sloth.
This colossal hoard was not collected
hastily; il is not the product simply of
lavish expenditure.
Mr.. Morgan was ever a discriminating
buyer, seeking the best and getting it
regardless of the cost. He was a gen.
uine lover of art and a close student of
its history.
Some of the costliest features of the
Morgan collection at the Metropolitan
of Art are grouped in the fol-
lowing list, with their known prices,
which eloquently attest their worth.
