The character of a child is already plain, even in its mother's womb. Before I was born my mother was in great agony of spirit and in a tragic situation. She could take no food except iced oysters and champagne. If people ask me when I began to dance I reply, "In my mother's womb, probably as a result of the oysters and champagne - the food of Aphrodite." ... Until the end of the war, I made desperate efforts to keep my School together, thinking that the war would end and we should be able to return to Bellevue. But the war went on and I was obliged to borrow money from money-lenders at fifty per cent to pay for the upkeep of the School in Switzerland. In 1916, for this purpose, I accepted a contract to go to South America, and set sail to Buenos Aires. ... A few nights after our arrival in Buenos Aires, we went to a Students' Cabaret. It was the usual long, low-ceilinged, very smoky room, overcrowded with dark young men interlaced with equally brunette girls, all dancing the tango. I had never danced the tango, but the young Argentine who was our cicerone persuaded me to try. From my first timid steps I felt my pulses respond to the enticing languorous rhythm of this voluptuous dance, sweet as a long caress, intoxicating as love under southern skies, cruel and dangerous as the allurement of a tropical forest. All this I felt as the arm of this dark-eyed youth guided me with confidential pressure and now and then thrust the glance of his bold eyes into mine. Isadora Duncan (1878 - 1927), the "mother of the modern dance", when she visited the neighborhood La Boca in Buenos Aires in 1916, from an extract of her book "My Life", published in 1927, pages 9,322-326. https: //archive.org/details/mylife0000unse_a0f0/page/324/mode/2up?q=argentine&view=theater

The year 1913, the writer H.G. Wells (1866 - 1946) noted, was "the year of the tango." This new dance where couples danced cheek-to-cheek, legs and arms pressed close against each other in an erotic embrace, had everyone's attention. Don't you have to be lying down to dance that? This, according to Gabriel-Louis Pringué (1885 - 1965), chronicler of Parisian high society in the first half of the twentieth century, was what Comtesse Mélanie de Portalès (1836 - 1914) whispered into the ear of the "distinguished academician" seated next to her, while they were both watching a couple learning to tango. "The first concern of elegant women is to go and learn with a famous dance master" wrote Comtesse Éliane in L'Art et la Mode on 3 May 1913: "from the surrounding chateaus, they all go to Paris for their tango lesson". Thus, tango was "all the rage" and the "question which is asked in dances" in the winter of 1912 to 1913 is Do you tango? I had never danced the tango, but an Argentine boy who served as my guide insisted with me to try it. With my first timid steps I felt my pulse responding to the incessant languid rhythm of that voluptuous dance, soft as a long caress, intoxicating as love in the midday sun, cruel and dangerous as the seduction of a tropical forest.

"WHAT is the fascination of golf? What makes us love it so?" Most every player has asked himself this question. Many a golf match has been played through a pouring rain. It is not uncommon to see players start out when it is raining hard and they know they are due for the soaking of their lives, yet they continue with enthusiasm unabated. The baseball player scampers for shelter when it commences to sprinkle. No one would ever think of seeing a baseball game in the rain, or even when the grounds were wet. Tennis is never played in the rain. Golfers never stop for even the hardest downpour, and are often followed by a large gallery. Harry Brownlow Martin (1873 - 1965), author of "Golf yarns; the best things about the game of golf" (1913) and President of the New York Newspaper Golf Club (1917)
