THE MONOPOLY OF THE VALSE.

It has been I danced a “deux temps,” a “trois temps,” with a hop, and with the body perfectly rigid, until at the present time a mixture of the deux temps and the hop valse finds favour. The slow, Redowa valse, introduced in London in 1846 by Mr Coulon, sonpopular a few years ago has entirely gone out of fashion, and this season a lively spring waltz of the trois temps order, played in German music, obtains the sway. The waltz movement which it contains has enabled the cotillion to replace the old fashioned quadrille. The lancers is much more stylish—and the music is in greater variety —than the quadrille, and it is not likely that it will fall into disfavour for some years. The barn dance is gradually but surely usurping the ordinary schottische on account of the ease with which progression is made.

ON THE DECAY OF THE DANCE

We dance nothing but the valse now in the suburbs, one set of lancers, perhaps, thrown in during the course of the evening.
