BY H. LAYTON WALKER,

Hain and];Ferry Sts. Buffalo, N. Y.

Contains over 700 Figures. 210 Pages

It is presumed that the Cotillion offers a greater variety of

entertainment, combined with enjoyment and recreation, than any

other form of dancing. The Twentieth Century Cotillion book con

tains many unique and interesting figures, popular games on a large

scale, attractions, surprises and the large number of figures will give

teachers of dancing an opportunity to select what may particularly

appeal to them and to their patrons. Favors, properties and sou

venirs may be used to advantage in many of the figures described.

The illustrations were prepared with care and with a desire to assist

.teachers in successfully dancing the figures illustrated. Many of the figures require no illustrations, and the selection of short, medium or

long figurues may be made. The Cotillion and the German are

explained in this, valuable book and to appreciate its merits, a copy,

neatly bound, should be in the library of every teacher of dancing,

ready for use when occasion requires.
