tell you no. He knows what it is
he has seen it done by experts-but
he doesn't teach it. 1t is not a popu-
lar dance. There seems to be two
tangoes. One is the tango which
comes to us from the Argentine Re-
public-a dance for experts-a slow,
difficult thing that is not worth doing
at all unless one can do it very well,
indeed. The other tango is any new
dance-the Castle walk. the hesitation
waltz, or anything our fathers did not
dance. This latter is the popular
tango danced all over the country. 1t
is the one at which the people who do
not care about dancing continually
thunder. 1t is not the tango at all.
The tango is a myth. and they are
knocking the daylights out of it every

The alcohol sold by Twilley was taken
from bottles in which hospital surgeons
