Cake Walk Fades From Urban Parties
The London papers show cake dances and cake walks in illustrations but few actually dance them at smart parties. Barn dances vanish in smart homes, waltzes and polkas dominate, while quadrilles are rare outside servants’ dances. Country balls keep old dances like Sir Roger de Coverley. A Philadelphia woman donated $1,000 to a polite street car conductor, joking that she likely wasn’t carrying a baby or market basket.
