Dance Reflects Its Period.

The dancing masters who attended
the annual convention Of the Ameri-
can National Association of Dancing
at Asbury Park were divided in opin-
ion as to the future Of the popular
dance novelties. Dances" one expert
said, have always reflected the age
Of their birth. The minuet was timely
in its day, and It gave way to the more
rapid Quadrille. The polka and waltz
held out until the twostep made them
appear old-fashioned, and 1t was only
natural that time Ike this, with Gus
toms and ideas which would have
been impossible In tho days Of the
quiet dance, should have produced the
various new dance movements. II We
should ever quiet down they will BE-
modined-if not they will stay"
