But to you who are young I give this piece of worldly advice. BUT TO YOU WHO ARE YOUNG I GIVE THIS PIECE OF WORLDLY ADVICE
ic with their children. What is really ridiculous in these elderly ladies is to do anything--_soi-disant_--for pleasure which is in reality a labor and a fatigue, just because they want to be in the swim. But if mothers and chaperones honestly enjoy dancing and can find willing partners, why not let them indulge their desires in peace? If they have the dignity which they ought to have they will realize the situations and the entertainments in and at which they ought to refrain from participating actively. But try to be tolerant, Caroline, in your judgment of them. For this is another remarkable feature which the Spirit of this Age has brought--the intense desire in everyone to keep young, and it is a good desire at its base. I do not dance the Tango myself, although I am at the fashionable age for it here (over forty!), but it is not from principle, but because it would bore me terribly to have to do so--and I have arrived at a time of life when I can please myself about my amusements. CLINED TO BE MORE SYMPATHETIC WITH THEIR CHILDREN WHAT IS REALLY RIDICULOUS IN THESE ELDERLY LADIES IS TO DO ANYTHING SAUSON FOR PLEASURE WHICH IS IN REALITY A LABOR AND A FATIGUE JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE IN THE SWIM BUT IF MOTHERS AND CHAPERONS HONESTLY ENJOY DANCING AND CONFINED WILLING PARTNERS WHY NOT LET THEM INDULGE THEIR DESIRES IN PEACE IF THEY HAVE THE DIGNITY WHICH THEY OUGHT TO HAVE THEY WILL REALIZE THE SITUATIONS AND THE ENTERTAINMENTS IN AND AT WHICH THEY OUGHT TO REFRAIN FROM PARTICIPATING ACTIVELY BUT TRY TO BE TOLERANT CAROLINE IN YOUR JUDGMENT OF THEM FOR THIS IS ANOTHER REMARKABLE FEATURE WHICH THE SPIRIT OF THIS AGE HAS BROUGHT THE INTENSE DESIRE IN EVERYONE TO KEEP YOUNG AND IT IS A GOOD DESIRE AT ITS BASE I DO NOT DANCE THAT TANGER MYSELF ALTHOUGH I AM AT THE FASHIONABLE AGE FOR IT HERE OVER FORTY BUT IT IS NOT FROM PRINCIPLE BUT BECAUSE IT WOULD BORE ME TERRIBLY TO HAVE TO DO SO AND I HAVE ARRIVED AT A TIME OF LIFE WHEN I CAN PLEASE MYSELF ABOUT MY AMUSEMENTS
