They indulged in wonderful "Bunny Hugs" and "Turkey Trots"  and probably the Tango, although its name had not become so famous then, and I did not recognize it. THEY INDULGED IN WONDERFUL BUNNY HUGS AND TURKEY TROTS AND PROBABLY THE TANGO ALTHOUGH ITS NAME HAD NOT BECOME SO FAMOUS THEN AND I DID NOT RECOGNIZE IT
m a detached point uninfluenced by the familiarity of custom, would seem horribly shocking to one or other of our senses. For instance, if we had never seen a butcher’s shop before, some of us would faint at the first view of it! This unpleasant simile I give merely to show you in a very concrete and forcible manner what I mean--your own intelligence will apply the test to other subjects. Thus, I remember, when first I saw a rather stout and elderly lady on a bicycle, I felt a wave of repulsion and, with others in the street, I turned my head to look at her in disgust. One sees them every day now and one does not even remark the fact. I went with a party to a very fashionable restaurant to see in 1913, where as a rule only the élite of society congregate--and where reserve and decorum are the natural tone of the place. However, for the New Year’s Eve feast, it seemed to have opened its doors to a crowd of the most aspiring inhabitants of Suburbia, who afterwards danced in the ballroom. EWED FROM A DETACHED POINT UNINFLUENCED BY THE FAMILIARITY OF CUSTOM WOULD SEEM HORRIBLY SHOCKING TO ONE OR OTHER OF OUR SENSES FOR INSTANCE IF WE HAD NEVER SEEN A BUTCHER'S SHOP BEFORE SOME OF US WOULD FAINT AT THE FIRST VIEW OF IT THIS UNPLEASANT SIMILE I GIVE MERELY TO SHOW YOU IN A VERY CONCRETE AND FORCIBLE MANNER WHAT I MEAN YOUR OWN INTELLIGENCE WILL APPLY THE TEST TO OTHER SUBJECTS THUS I REMEMBER WHEN FIRST I SAW A RATHER STOUT AND ELDERLY LADY ON A BICYCLE I FELT A WAVE OF REPULSION AND WITH OTHERS IN THE STREET I TURNED MY HEAD TO LOOK AT HER IN DISGUST ONE SEES THEM EVERY DAY NOW AND ONE DOES NOT EVEN REMARK THE FACT I WENT WITH A PARTY TO A VERY FASHIONABLE RESTAURANT TO SEE IN NINETEEN THIRTEEN WHERE AS A RULE ONLY THE ELISE OF SOCIETY CONGREGATE AND WHERE RESERVE AND DECORUM ARE THE NATURAL TONE OF THE PLACE HOWEVER FOR THE NEW YEAR'S EVE FEAST IT SEEMED TO HAVE OPENED ITS DOORS TO A CROWD OF THE MOST ASPIRING INHABITANTS OF SUBURBIA WHO AFTERWARDS DANCED IN THE BALLROOM
