misdeeds, and the girl cannot expose him without making public her own
disgrace, so his base deeds go undiscovered and he may still be found at
dancing parties or on the street corners engaged in the occupation in
which we first met him, viz.: seeking whom he might destroy.

What decent woman, if she knew his real character, would wish to throw
herself into the arms of such a man. If she were a true women she would
almost rather die than have such a man even touch her, to say nothing of
being in his close embrace for the space of a waltz.

Or, what lady would allow any man, in any other public place, except the
ball-room, to take the liberties with her that he takes there? Would a
lady with a spark of self-respect, at any other place, lay her head upon
his shoulder, place her breast against his, and allow him to encircle
her waist with his arm, place his foot between hers and clasp her hands
in his?

This is the position assumed in waltzing, and I tell you, my friends,
that such a position tends, in a greater or less degree, to develop the
lower nature of sexes. It cannot be otherwise. It is in perfect
accordance with nature. I have heard girls express utter innocence of
having any improper emotion aroused by the waltz, but I do not believe
this to be strictly true of any girl. If it is, I am sorry for that
girl, for she has a sad lack in her nature.

"Male and female, God created them" and placed within them emotions
intended to be shared only by man and wife, and if others indulge in
those emotions, and continually arouse them by assuming the waltz
position, which is only fit for man and wife, they commit a sin against
God and nature.
