Too Many Wallflowers.!! This state of affairs is regretta ble, for dancing is. above all pas times, sociable. A shortage of men means that many women will not be able to get the fullest enjoy. ment out of an evening's dance. My pleasure is always spoilt by the sight of girls sitting out or dancing together.
Mixing with new people "rubs the corners" of a young man making his way in the world. The pro- ficient, and keen dancer is usually notable for his easy carriage and manner Dancing with new partners also makes him adaptable, and the habit which he gets in the ballroom of "seeing the other point of view" helps him all through life.
The failure of many men in the ballroom can be attributed to the tact that, compared with women, they do not take dancing seriously. Too many are content to master the simplest steps, and some da¦ no more than walk. Women are prepared to learn and practise, and do not imagine that they can' master the art of modern ballroom dancing in one lesson.'
Instinct of Rhythm. Many of the men, and some of the women, who "dance" even in fashionable halls should not be al lowed to take the floor until they have had some lessons: They are a trial to their partners and a source of irritation, to other cou-
ples.
Most ordinary dancers look upon dancing as a useful form of social intercourse rather than as a source of enjoyment. This is a pity. Once mastered, dancing is a never ending source of enjoyment.
Dancing shows no signs of, he coming less popular among women. I do not think it will ever "go out of fashion" na some would have us believe, because the instinct for rhythm is deep rooted in every man and woman, I believe that the pleasures of a large number, of people would be greatly increased if more men could be persuaded to take up dancing seriously.
