fish Folk Dance Society. which as
sertS these dances aIe being taken up
with enthusiasm by tens of thousands
of young people throughout England
The society is compelled to refuse
hundreds of applications from would
be learners because of its inability to
secure enough ballroom space.
Women are taking up sword dane
ing enthusiastically, many with the
purpose of teaching it to boy scouts,
girl guides and members of similar
organizations.
Scottish reels are also regaining
favor, mainly because of the partial
ity of the Duchess of York for them,
although the duchess herself will not
be seen in the ballroom for the next
few months because of the approach
of an interesting family event.

At last accounts authorities
were wondering how long 1t would
