curporated for IN" purpose OF improving

made an appeal Whl'a should he felt By
all clear thinking and dance loving public.
The society aims not only TO improve the
dancing Of to-day but also to devise a uni
formity VI steps and figures So that pupils
Of one teacher can dance satisfactorily
with the pupils OF another. This stand
ardizaton is TO he national In order that
the people who "Trip the light fantastic
toe" in New York may dance without DIM
Guilty with the people of Chicago Philadel'
phla or Of any other city or town.
Exhibition dancing for ones visual en-
tertainment is very delightful, hut imta
tions by an untauEht public have led e
distortions and gyratlons Objectionable e

why the suggestion to form this society
was made nearly year ago.
At the society's last general meeting thu
Brazilian polka La Russo and BalancellC
were accepted and standardized. Severa
new dances OF simple construction and o.
American origin win be considered In thu
near future.
