TO CODIFY THE TANGO.
Dancing Masters to Meet in Paris
at Easter.

LONDON. January 31.-An interna-
tional congress of dancing masters is
to be held in Paris at Easter for the
purpose of 'codifying' the tango
At present there are almost as many
varieties of the dance as there are
teachers. and some of. the varieties are
certainly of a kind that justify in
some degree the denunciation of high
ecclesiastics and royalty. The real
drawback of this chaos is the virtual
impossibility of finding a partner be-
forehand who can dance the same tam
go as ones self. Consequent the Gus
tom has grown up of arranging ones
partner beforehand and not dancing
with any one else.
Meanwhile London Is threatened with
new dances from China According to
French expert. the tango is no longer
the last word in dancing. but is yield
ing place to the 'tatao" and the TIA
kueu"
