Dancing Eleven Miles in an Evening

An average waltz takes a dancer over about three-quarters of a mile; a square dance makes him cover half a mile. A girl \vith a well-filled program travels thus in one evening. Twelve waltzes, nine miles; four other dances at a half-mile apiece, which la hardly a fairly big estimate, two miles more; the Intermission stroll and the trips to the dressing-room to renovate her gown and complexion, half a mile; grand total, eleven and a half miles at the least estimate.
