But whether this is so or no, Caroline, I advise you, child, to enjoy it while you can, allowing good taste and good sense to guide you as to how you do it, where you do it, and when you do it. BUT WHETHER THIS IS SO OR NO CAROLINE I ADVISE YOU CHILD TO ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN ALLOWING GOOD TASTE AND GOOD SENSE TO GUIDE YOU AS TO HOW YOU DO IT WHERE YOU DO IT AND WHEN YOU DO IT
e Tango. Dance it, if your friends dance it, and try to do it with the most perfect grace and modesty that diligent [Illustration: “_The Tango--dance it, if your friends dance it, and try to do it with the most perfect grace._”] practice and natural refinement can suggest. It is hard work, and nothing looks more unattractive than this dance when badly done. Be particularly careful how you hold yourself and how you permit your partner to hold you, and do try to keep your face from looking as though you were counting. If a thing which is supposed to be a recreation requires such concentration as that, it becomes no longer a pleasure to indulge in it yourself, and gives none to those who are looking on at you doing it. There are still numbers of old-fashioned people who have never seen the Tango and who talk the most incredible nonsense about it, based upon “what they have heard.” Let any of them see the dance beautifully performed, and I am sure all prejudice against it would be removed. ABOUT THREE WOMEN IN EVERY AGE WHO CAN EVER DO THIS SO DO NOT BE OFFENDED WITH ME FOR MY PLAIN SPEAKING AND FOR A LAST WORD ABOUT THE TANGO DANCE IT IF YOUR FRIENDS DANCE IT AND TRY TO DO IT WITH THE MOST PERFECT GRACE AND MODESTY THAT DILIGENT PRACTICE AND NATURAL REFINEMENT CAN SUGGEST IT IS HARD WORK AND NOTHING LOOKS MORE UNATTRACTIVE THAN THIS DANCE WHEN BADLY DONE BE PARTICULARLY CAREFUL HOW YOU HOLD YOURSELF AND HOW YOU PERMIT YOUR PARTNER TO HOLD YOU AND DO TRY TO KEEP YOUR FACE FROM LOOKING AS THOUGH YOU WERE COUNTING IF A THING WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE A RECREATION REQUIRES SUCH CONCENTRATION AS THAT IT BECOMES NO LONGER A PLEASURE TO INDULGE IN IT YOURSELF AND GIVES NONE TO THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING ON AT YOU DOING IT THERE ARE STILL NUMBERS OF OLD FASHIONED PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER SEEN THE TANGO AND WHO TALK THE MOST INCREDIBLE NONSENSE ABOUT IT BASED ON WHAT THEY HAVE HEARD LET ANY OF THEM SEE THE DANCE BEAUTIFULLY PERFORMED AND I AM SURE ALL PREJUDICE AGAINST IT WOULD BE REMOVED
