As to the position OF the partners, the
modern idea in waltzing is perfectly
accustomed to your having your arm
round the girls waist. And to lead her
you must keep her close. In the tango of
Kahn and Crbain, and that of correct
Paris society to-day, II Is less amazing.
While the position of the mans right
arm and the left arm of the girl are the
same as In all modern waltzing. the
tango step itself demands that the dan
GERS keep apart from each other. one
of the prettiest figures seemed to me a
so-called backward movement when the
left arm of the man and the right hand
of the girl were wedged in between the
two partners.
But when see paid dancers at the
tango tea IF the Grand Cafe ia Paris it
is not that at all 1t is quite different. 1t
is something like wrestling at a fair
every grip permitted'-and a gallant
man helping poor girl to pick her
way out of "a messy place.
There are now 100 figures. they say
of the tango.
1t was so easy in the beginning. and
now YOU know why it is 81 difficult
at present. So few knew the beau
tiful old dance In the beginning that
whoever dubbed himself teacher might
add something that was all his own.
Doubtless. also. it got tangled in the

one great danger comes from all this.
1t Is the tendency to pair Off and dance
continually together. A couple who are
used to the same figures dance we'll to-
gether. ON the other hand a pair who do
not know or do not like each others ten

what the other is going to do find it
very difficult to tango together. Even
more. the very conception of the tango
differs with the person.
So much so that In Paris 1t Is pretty
well agreed that this really grand dance
will have to be standardized by way of
returns to the original simplicity which

That early tango. welcomed as the
easiest of dances. which any one could
learn and which stout matrons of 60
rejoiced in. would be tango a. And half
dozen other models-every one will
come to know them--wll bring order
out Of chaos and preserve the first great
modern dance of unhaste from bad

How otherwise has 1t an excellent
reputation here and n less excellent
there? Why does the King of Italy
rule 1t out and the Car of Russia rec
ommend it? Why do certain French
bishops brand it as powerful dissolv-
ent Of French morality" while the re-
mainder observe benignant neutrality?
Evidently there must be something more
than individual good taste. There are
two tango tendencies!
So much so. ! repeat. that already

To understand the strife that divided

glance at the dance prints of the period.
There were twenty ways of waltzing.

Yet Debucourt called 1t "the, folly Of

waltzed in 1900 public balls! You
might think 1t the tango. Young folks
could not eat ices on the terraces Of
Bagatelle without jumping up every ten
minutes to waltz on the lawn. They
waltzed everywhere in public. in pri-
