New Rule In Dancing.
Any fond youth who cherishes Wees of pressing the lily band of his sweetheart In the mazes of the dance during the coming winter may at once relinquish that ambition. It is hopelessly out of date. Henceforth he will waits and “two step" with bis left arm pinned to his aide, while the fair one employs her right hand to bold op the train of her gown. The train la de rlgnenr, no mere affection of a train, but a sweeping flow of silk and satin, and surreptitious squeezes under its sheltering folds are strictly forbidden. This was the edict of the American Society of Professors of Dancing in convention assembled in New York recently. The suggestion that this arrangement would incumber the dances with all the disabilities of a rudderless ship was powerless to revoke it. Truly the new gown will entail a train of woes.—New York World.
