This season, the new steps introduced
last year are embodied in four dances,
which lack warlike names. But some
individuals are tripping the so-called
war dances and next year may see
standardized and accepted as official
such creations of the danseur as the
Hun hop" and the trench gIlde'

jazz" the waltz tango" and the
Chinese toddle." These have been
standardized and added to the multi
tude OF curious steps that have at
tended the popular vogue or dancing
