WALTZ REGAINS FAVOUR.
With memories of moonlight and roses, modern London society is firmly turning its back on the contortions of the latest one-step and reverting to the waltz. The smartest parties boast at least three or four waltzes in an evening's dance programme, and all the dancing crowd seems very well pleased. At a ball given recently by the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry at Londonderry House, with the Duke and Duchess of York, Princess Helena Victoria, the Aga Khan and Winston Churchill among the guests, the waltz tunes surpaeeed all others in popularity. Perhaps the -whispered preference of the Prince of Wales has something to do with society's adoption of the swinging rhythm. At any rate he is always among the first on the floor when a waltz is struck up.
