Let the appearance of the ball-room, the smile of pleasure on all faces, and the quickening of the pulse to the joyous music of the dance, answer. We return to our homes, after a social feast with refined and cultivated human beings, refreshed and strengthened, our better natures, if not more stimulated to good, certainly not more stimulated to evil. By joy as by sorrow the heart softens to a thousand kindly offices for those less fortunate than we, and the silent trusts committed to us are gen...erally, from such influences, more faithfully discharged.

How can a woman be pure and impure at the same time? Yet, this is what he specifically asserts.
