REFORM IN DANCING.
Planned to Rave a More Uniform Systoaa
. Throughout the Country.
At the recent meeting of the National
Association of Dancing Masters
movement has been started to establish
a uniform set ot dances for the entire
country, so that a dancer will appear
to as much advantage in one city as
another and will not be embarrassed
by the difference in the style of steps
or by any sectional peculiarities. It Is
somewhat . remarkable, says the St.
Louis Republic, that this idea has never
before occurred to the dancing mas
ters, but now that it has been agitated
it should be pushed forward until it is
successfully carried out. Americans
are recognized as far and away the
best dancers in the world, partly be
cause they are naturally graceful and
agile, and partly because the national
style of dancing, while it differs in par
ticulars, is generally of a nature to en
able a reasonably graceful man to
make a good appearance on the floor.
But while a man may ,be a good dancer
in New York he may make a sad mesa
of it in Chicago or New Orleans, and
vice versa. Not that the general
principles of dancing are not the same,
but because in different localities
certain apparently trifling peculiarities
of 6tcp are allowed to creep in which
confuse a stranger and often throw
him out of step completely until he
nas mastered the local style. The St.
mg. A relative told recently how Mr.
Vaux received a well-preserved section
of one of the pillars of the Pantheon at

who had some trouble in securing it.

lie expected, on his return to America,
to find the broken column standing
upon tne lawn of the vaux resi
dence, perhaps covered with ivy and
looking down the ages rather scorn
fully at the degenerate civiliza
tion of the nineteenth century.
Be was horrified to hear, however, that
Mr. Vaux. not being in need of a
broken pillar just then, had turned it
into a lawn roller. It did duty in that
capacity for a long time, and is still ia
possession of the family.

dancing with the Pittsburgh girl, and-
me Kansas City man confesses that it
requires a good deal of patience to
master the unaccustomed movement of
the young lady from Boston. All four
parties may be the most graceful and
accomplished of dancers,' but there is
in each case that little distinguishing
peculiarity, that bit of "local pride,"
as it might be called, which is annoy
ing until the parties have danced with
one another often enough to accommo
date their 6teps each to the other. Thi
is one of the difficulties in the art of
round dancing which might be easily
.remedied by an agreement among the
dancing masters to conform to the
same steps and to popularize the same
general styles ofdances. - .
