When we used to waltz, we clasped arms easily, took a nice, respectable position, and danced in a poetry of motion. Now, girls, how do you two-step? In nine cases out of ten the dear girl reposes her head on the young man's shoulder, or else their faces press each other. He presses her to his breast as closely as possible, and actually carries her around. Disgraceful? I should say so. Do you wonder at the ministers preaching on dancing as a sin, when it looks like this to a woman like myself who believes in dancing and has danced all her life? Mothers, as you love your girls, forbid them to dance after this manner. [letter in the ladies' section of Locomotive Engineers' Monthly Journal, March 1898]
当我们跳华尔兹时,我们轻松地握住手臂,采取一个不错的,respectable 姿势,在运动的诗意中舞动。现在,女孩们,你们如何跳两步舞?在十个案例中有九个,亲爱的女孩将头靠在年轻人的肩膀上,或者他们的脸彼此紧贴。他尽可能地将她紧紧压在胸前,实际上是抱着她转圈。可耻?我应该这么说。当像我这样相信舞蹈并一生都在跳舞的女人看到它时,你难怪那些牧师会宣讲舞蹈是罪。母亲们,作为你们爱护女儿的表现,禁止她们以这种方式跳舞。[letter in the ladies' section of Locomotive Engineers' Monthly Journal, March 1898]
