SHOULD THE TANCO BE DANCED.

VIEWS OF SOME NOTABLE PEOPLE. "Everylady's Journal" has been making it a habit of late to consult a number of leading authorities upon various topics of vital interest, and publishing a digeat of their views. In the February number, just to hand for example, the question of modern dancing is discussed, with particular reference to the Tango and other "freak" dances. Opinions are expressed by leaders of the Church and such notables as the Mayor of St. Kiida; Miss Jenny Brennan, the mistress of the ballet of Her Majesty's Theatre; Mr R. O. Clack, the general secretary of the Y.M.C.A.; Mrs Fairbairn. one of the leaders of Melbourne society; and Mrs Mary Gilmore, the well-known Australian poetess, who lived for some years in South America, where the Tango found its origin. This collection of views makes admirable reading, and it is illustrated with a number of first-claBS photographs. The general opinion seems, to be that- on the whole, dancing is improving rather than deteriorating, and that is only in its abuses that it is at all objectionable. There are other fine articles and stories in this February issue of "Everylady's Journal," and the usual splendid review of the prevailing fashions. As we have done before, we recommend this fine sixpenny magazine to all our women readers.
