To this, the Hon. Mrs. John Fortescue replies that she would not admit that the girl of to-day is any the less fresh or healthy than the girl of yesterday,

She continues:

The girl who is nog in the position to do this does not regularly attend late dances because, for one thing, she cannot afford

Modern dances are emphatically less Tiring than the old, have danced them, and I have always found them very gentle exercises, One can dance then in such a way as to rest over very considerable distances. They are only unduly tiring to bad dancers,

Mme. Vandyck, the London dancing teacher. said to a Daily Mail reporter:

The

girl who regularly attends all-night dance clubs undoubtedly dances too much. but I put the girls I Know and my own daughter, whom I regard as fresh and healthy enough, in a different category.

They

are regular dancers at functions up to midnight and sometimes until 9am.. but they are never the worse for that.

It is wrongly believed that these are the days of boisterous dancing. The polka and the lungers wefe far more exhausting. HEAVY SATIRE Mr. Ernest Betts. Editor of The Danc Sir-Undoubtedly ing World, writes: dancing is overdone. It is leading us to damnation. The most lamentable aspect of present-day social life is the inexhaus tible capacity people have for enjoying themselves. Dancing not only has the effect of making as happy, which is deplorable enough. It positively conduces to good health, prolonged youthfulaee, grace, and good spirits, and all the evils of a virile and joyous civilisation.

BEST BALLROOM DANCERS.

"Let's dance the Blues?"

This, it is said, will be the expression most often heard in dance halls and ball- The roots during the coming season. "Blues is the title of a new dance which is to be demonstrated at Holborn Restaurant during the present congress of the Imperial Society of Dance Teachers which is being held there. It is a variant of the eternal. fox-trot, and it has come to London via New York and Paris, where it is said to be creating a stir. On the way it has been shorn of eccentricitics, and as demonstrated by the English dance experts it is expected to make an immediate appeal. I'm sorry I cannot divulge the movements," said the secre tary of the congress" at present they are a secret, but when it is danced in public it will be seen that the steps are very simple. We have no other new dancer. The Foxtrot and the, Waltz still rule the ballroom. Even the one-step bas gone out of favour, and variations of the older dances-the Mazurka, the Schot tische, and the Pulka are no longer thought of. The public will not have then Last year, we tried to popularise the Tango, but even it fell flat. It is all deplorable; but there you are

As a matter of fact, the Congress in its search for new dances which will apperil to the British public, is offering two prizes, one of 50 guineas and one of 10 guineas, to anyone who can invent song- thing that will meet the need. Thesc' dances will be submitted before the Con- gress for approval.

"We are bopeful that we, shall, find something really good," said the secre tary, as in my opinion the heat ball- room dancers in the world are to be found in the London clubs. Nowhere do you find such grace. of movement and such perfection of deportment, notwithstanding Billy criticisms such as that at a recent dance Congress where something was said about the police heing called in."

In the danec salon of the restaurant, teachers from all over the kingdom were heing instructed in the rhythmic move- ments of the classical dance. A ring of girls, garbed in togas or gymnastic eos tume, and two men in tennis shirts and fannels, moved slowly round in dangour- ous circles to the strains of n Chopin Prelude. Some of the girls were bare footed.
