4.—FOLLOW MY LEADER.
All the couples form in column behind the first. The head couple waltz in a zigzag course in and out between the other couples, and stop at the end of the line about three feet behind the last couple. As soon as the first couple have danced past two of the other couples, the second couple also starts, and this is continued until all have danced the zigzag waltz, at which point the first couple will again be at the head of the column. All then waltz to seats.
5.—PING PONG.
The leader selects five ladies, and his partner selects six gentlemen. Leader and his partner hold sheet for net. Ladies on one side, gentlemen on the other. Ladies bat ball over the sheet in rotation; the gentleman catching the ball will step around the net and waltz with the lady who served the ball.
6.—THE TOAST.
Three chairs are set on a line, the center one being placed in a direction opposite to the other two. The leader places his lady upon the center chair, gives her a glass of wine, and brings forward two gentlemen, whom he seats on the two other chairs. The lady hands the glass of wine to one of the gentlemen to “toast” her health, and dances with the other gentleman.
7.—THE UMBRELLA.
The leader’s partner takes an umbrella, opens it, and hands it to any gentleman in the circle. The gentleman with the umbrella will hold it up and walk around the circle until some lady takes him out of the rain by arising and waltzing once around with him. The lady then hands umbrella to another gentleman in the circle, who in turn walks around until relieved.
8.—THE SIGNAL OF DISTRESS.
A tin horn is placed in center of circle. The leader selects one gentleman and requests him to take the horn and walk around blowing it until one of the ladies relieves him. She dances with him, then hands the tin horn to a gentleman she may select from the circle.
