So I want you to take this powerful factor into consideration, Caroline, dear, in all matters of innovations. SO I WANT YOU TO TAKE THIS POWERFUL FACTOR INTO CONSIDERATION CAROLINE DEAR IN ALL MATTERS OF INNOVATIONS
r 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. 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. I recollect how we stood and watched them and laughed at some of the sights. Respectable, and often very plump, _mères de familles_ with agonized faces of strain in case they should forget a step, were bumping against and clinging in strange fashion to some equally preoccupied partner! I thought then how undignified, how even revolting it was. But now when I go out here in Paris, even among the most _recherchées grandes dames_ and see them (grandmothers some of them!) taking their hour or two of exercise by dancing the Tango, I am moved by no spirit of disgust, I merely feel critical as to whether or no they do it well--so far has custom and familiarity removed antipathy! CORUM 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 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 I RECOLLECT HOW WE STOOD AND WATCHED THEM AND LAUGHED AT SOME OF THE SIGHTS RESPECTABLE AND OFTEN VERY PLUMP MAY DEFAMY WITH AGONIZED FACES OF STRAIN IN CASE THEY SHOULD FORGET A STEP WERE BUMPING AGAINST AND CLINGING IN STRANGE FASHION TO SOME EQUALLY PREOCCUPIED PARTNER I THOUGHT THEN HOW UNDIGNIFIED HOW EVEN REVOLTING IT WAS BUT NOW WHEN I GO OUT HERE IN PARIS EVEN AMONG THE MOST RUSSICH GRANDMES AND SEE THEM GRANDMOTHER SOME OF THEM TAKING THEIR HOUR OR TWO OF EXERCISE BY DANCING THE TANGO I MOVED BY NO SPIRIT OF DISGUST I MERELY FEEL CRITICAL AS TO WHETHER OR NO THEY DO IT WELL SO FAR HAS CUSTOM AND FAMILIARITY REMOVED ANTIPATHY
