GOOD FORM

Much Of the success Of the dance depends
on the leader who chooses the figures.

time, etc.
Any music may be played for a cotlIon.
one step, waltz or fox trot, although IN
the oldfashioned germans a waltz was
always the correct dance
As the music begins, the leader calls
out the number of couples who are to
dance. usually 10 or 10; these rise ana
dance until he claps his hands they then
separate and go to the table where the
hostesses give out the favors. the man
being given something appropriate for a
girl and vice versa.
Armed with favor EACH they go to
those who are not dancing, and the girl
presents one OF the men with a favor,
and he dances with her. while the man
presents one to girl who IN turn dances
with him. This time the dance is some
fancy figure such as Cracking the Whip"
"Lady's Chain" "Tandem." and numer-
Gus other figures. sometimes invented by
the leader himself. After this he claps
his hands again and every one returns
TO his or her original partner. Then the
next 10 couples get up and so II goes on
until another figure Is started. OF course.
the girls judge their good time by the
number of favors received II is not at
all hard to do as the actual dancing part
Is like the usual dances.
