"ROOM PROBLEMS,

WHY BO FEW MEN DANCE.

‚ROWDY LANCERS. :

How is it, a wall-kugwashostess was asking the other day, there are so few men who are good dancers ?

The question was repeated by a representa tive of the Pall Mall Garells to Mr. R. M. Crompton, the well-known professor of dane lng. The answer is easily explained," he replied. "As a rule our young men are not taught dancing, and the public schools, whilst not, perhaps, actually discouraging it, certainly do not offer it any direct encouragement. Tos result is that when a young man has finished his educational career he is lacking one of the very qualifications that are necessary for hje entrance into society-namely, the ability to dance.

"And this as a consequence," Mr. Compton' adds, turning over the leaves of his book of Engagemants, "'ir the sort of thing that hap paos Four gentlemen are commencing with me a course of dancing to-night who next week are going to Society, dauces. Some, it is time, succeed in doing a great deal in a short time, but many enter the ballroom feeling Dervous, and that feeling necessarily handicaps them.

"There is also the consideration which ac counts for some lack of grace in the ballioom. Knowing how scarce are the men who dance,

The cust of Docking, and repair work; will be fornd to compare favourably with that dancing with the same discrimination as they of any port in the world,

"And if English boys were taught dancing and deportment as the boys on the Continent are, we should go longer see our future judges and statesmen and generals slouching along, as have seen them as boys both at Eton and; Harrow, with their hands in their pockets and without an`atom either of elegance or diġalty," Turning to the lancers, the dance that bas been chiefly attacked on account of its rowdi ness, Mr., Crompton maintained that there" is no reason why, if it is danced in the orthodox manner, a great deal of grace and of elegance of deportment should not be imparted to it. "But, as it is," he remarked, "it becomer some instances little more than a football scramble, and on account of fie boisterous char. soler it.han had to ba eliminated from, many ball programmes in the West-end" It is no longer danced at Court, where, however, the quadrille, another of the disappearing dances, istill preserved. -
