I do not dance the Tango myself, although I am at the fashionable age for it here (over forty!) I DO NOT DANCE THAT TANGER MYSELF ALTHOUGH I AM AT THE FASHIONABLE AGE FOR IT HERE OVER FORTY
had an inclination to laugh when one saw the mothers dancing the Tango as well as the daughters, but if they do this in England do not let yourself be spiteful about it, Caroline. The exercise is so splendid, and it keeps them young and inclined to be more sympathetic 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. URISH HERE AT FIRST ONE HAD AN INCLINATION TO LAUGH WHEN ONE SAW THE MOTHERS DANCING THAT ANGER AS WELL AS THE DAUGHTERS BUT IF THEY DO THIS IN ENGLAND DO NOT LET YOURSELF BE SPITEFUL ABOUT IT CAROLINE THE EXERCISE IS SO SPLENDID AND IT KEEPS THEM YOUNG AND INCLINED 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
