(Showing one of the reasons why the Tango is already démodé.)
(With apologies to Mr. Kipling.)
This is the sorrowful story told at the Tango Teas
Of the old folks dancing together, frivolous as you please:—
"Our mothers, came to the dances; dignified matrons, they,
They smilingly sat and watched us after we waltzed away.
"Our mothers looked on at the dancing—that was their business then;
Frowned on the detrimentals, smiled on the right young men.
"Then came this Tangomania, and when the fad was new
Badly it shocked the old folks—now they are doing it too!
