Tango? No, thanks!

"Guilty" - Mrs. Crane

Mrs. Douglas Crane - I'm guilty on both counts. I wear a slit skirt and I love the tango. I can't see anything wrong in either. As a matter of fact all of this storm raised about the tango is due to ignorance: any dance that has not been seen here before, whether it comes from the Barbay coast or the Y. W. C. A., is called a tango. There is no harm in the slit skirt; the evil is in the mind of the wearer or observer. Neither is the evil in the slit skirt display of leg - or limb as some call it here, though in my country we are not ashamed of the word leg -unless it is made with evil intention or seen with evil thought. One should look at a woman's face and not what she is wearing or dancing to tell what kind of woman she is.

What Judge Dunne Said:

"If you women want to do some good why don't you go out and stop this dancing and sew up the slit skirts?"
