Comes a defender of the much-
flouted, much-maligned tango in the
person «»f charming Miss Donna Bain.
But the turkey trot—horrors! Miss
Bain positively shuddered Tuesday
when it wtfs suggested that her com
mendation might extend to this other
modern dance.
‘‘Oh, my, no!” she exclaimed, with
a scandalized expression. “I can’t
even bear to think of it. Believe me,
1 don’t dance it. Why, 1 may say I
don’t even know how—and that is
saying quite a little, for I pride my
self on knowing most of the dances
of American and foreign origin and
knowing them well.”
It probably is just as well to ex
plain right here, although most At
lantans know it, that Miss Bain is an
authority on dancing.

She is an Atlanta girl, but for the

York, part of the time giving expo
sitions of the old and modern dances
at fashionable teas and other exclu
sive functions, and more latterly
teaching the people of the ultra smart
set how the best of the popular dances
should be executed.
She has made herself a student of
dancing, not only in America, but
abroad as well. What she doesn’t
know about the pedigree and* per
formance of dance steps ancient and
modern is hardly worth adding to
one’s store of knowledge.
And it was plainly evident in her
conversation Tuesday that she didn't
think much of the lineage of the tur
key trot. The tango—that was differ

‘‘Nothing in the modern dances so
much resembles the stately old min

safed. “That is why I like it It is
the most beautiful dance 1 ever have
seen when it is danced properly.
