ur set try to learn it_ because otherwise you will soon begin to feel yourself left out and neglected, no matter how pretty and accomplished you are in other ways, for I know you well enough now to know that you are not strong enough, dear child, to turn a tide or make any considerable quantity of your friends follow your lead. There are only 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 [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.  WHO ARE YOUNG I GIVE THIS PIECE OF WORLDLY ADVICE EVEN IF THE TANGO DOES NOT PARTICULARLY ATTRACT YOU IF IT IS THE RAGE AMONG YOUR SET TRY TO LEARN IT BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU WILL SOON BEGIN TO FEEL YOURSELF LEFT OUT AND NEGLECTED NO MATTER HOW PRETTY AND ACCOMPLISHED YOU ARE IN OTHER WAYS FOR I KNOW YOU WELL ENOUGH NOW TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH DEAR CHILD TO TURN A TIDE OR MAKE ANY CONSIDERABLE QUANTITY OF YOUR FRIENDS FOLLOW YOUR LEAD THERE ARE ONLY 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
