ON WITH THE DANCE
Maurice Tells What Few Dances Are Worth While
in the Ballroom la,
English Teachers Adopt
Resolution to Stamp
Out Freak Steps.
By MAURICE,

BY MAURICE,
(Worid's Most Famous Ballroom
DancerD
London, England. July 25.-There
are four dances that are worth
while in a ballroom. They are the
fox trot, the one = step, the waltz
and the tango. The first three are
especially adapted for American
and English people.
The great advantage of the tox-
trot, one-step and waltz is their
simplicity and their grace when
they are properly done. Their great
merit is that they are easily taught
and easily learned. They are dances
of three or four steps which every
one can do and which result in
general symmetry of movement.
Oppose simplicity.
Do you know who it is that is
opposed to simplicity in these
dances? 1t is the same person who
Is responsible for many of the ugly
fashions in present-dsy dancing. 1t
is the person who brought in the
high kick, the "bunny-hug," the
shimmy-shaker and all the other
endless foolish gyrations and con-
tortions, each given a name as fool
ish as the thing IT indicates. Beau
tifuI dancing can never be brought
about this way. 1t may develop
acrobats and contortionists. but not
dancers. What are people aiming at
who are teaching these freak
things? Do they imagine there is
something risque in the fox-trot
and the one-step? Is that why they
are trying always to introduce
something mole elaborate and in
tricate in form" II so, l could
easily convince an unprejudiced
jury that a minuet or a schottische
could be made to bear an undesir-
able Interpretation.
Ny own thought is that the con-
stant introduction of freak things
in dancing is due to a certain kind
( of dancing teacher who thinks he
can make more money il he con-
! tinually has some new steps" that
his pupils simply must learn. II
that is the idea, it is absolutely un-
fair. Why should a girl or boy of
modest means, who has spent money
! to learn current dancing, have TO
/ pay good deal more to keep
! abreast OF unnecessary. unexpected
and unlovely innovations? What

agreed to do their best to stamp
out freak steps in the ballroom,

the feet are raised high off the

London, July 25.-The statement
by Easton Taylor. the portrait
painter, that the most beautiful
children are to be found among the
upper classes" is challenged by AL
fred Praga, R. B. A. president of the
Society of Miniaturists, who also
spccializes in child portraiture.
There are plenty of children
among the lower classes" he de-
cIares. who are quite as beautiful

quentIy the children of the poor

oring quite as good. as the children

have often been struck by the
beauty Of the peasants children. In

TO notice the same thing. There is
no doubt. too. that some CT the poor
Jewish children of the East End are
very pretty.
1t seems 10 me Ihe question IS
largely one of health and care. The
poor child who is well looked after
is usually as beautiful as any other
child, and sometimes more beautiful.
Nmong the children of the upper
classes there is perhaps a tendency
