BEAUTIFUL HESITATION WALTZ.
The new waltz by Vernon Eville. entitled
"Ecstatic," published by Boosey & 'Co., 9 East Sev-
enteenth street, New York, bids fair to be one of
the great successes of the season. It has an en-
trancing melody with that indefinable charm which
appeals to dancers of the hesitation waltz, and
there is sufficient originality in its constructive
form to jnake it a very interesting number for the
orchestra or the piano. We venture to say that this
is one of the best, if not the best, hesitation waltz
on the market to-day.
