THE POLKA.
TRIUMPH FOR THE ELDERLIES.
I saw tho Duchess of Norfolk sitting with a party of friends at a recent ball at tho Savoy, writes a London correspondent. Sho must have been amused to seo women with tho latest haircut and the very latest dresses —which seem longer than ever, by tho way—(lancing to such tunes as " You should seo mo danco the polka " and " Daisy, Daisy, givo mo your answer, do." If these old dances aro going to bo popular again we shall have to learn how to do them properly. At this ball it was only tho " elderlies " who triumphed. The modern woman's version of the polka is a kind of hop, skip and a jump, and few of them managed tho old-time waltz without getting out of breath and entangled in their skirts.
