RETURN OF THE WALTZ.
There have been few popular dance numbers of the last twenty-five years that 1 have not arranged and conducted, and I do not hesitate to say that in two years tho " old waltz " will once more be tho fashion, and that tho fox-trot in its present form will be dead, states a noted London conductor of orchestras. In New York I found that the most distinguished hostesses would not have a saxophone in the house Uiev , vere tired of " hot jazz." " Play us waltzes!" was their cry and I think that next season will find very much the samo state of affairs in this country. Already the polka is being revived and tho lancers are no longer found only at " sixpenny hops.!' Fortunate indeed will be the dance bands that are prepared for the change.
