Excerpt from El Lujo y los Afeites: Disertación Escrita Leída en el "Instituto Popular de Conferencias", El 14 de Julio de 1922
Abierto ya el portón por donde pasar pueden todas las extravaga*ncias y las exageraciones todas, ya se adivinará que las romanas se entregaron con deleitosa fruición a un verda dero deporte de lujo, atentatorio a la tranquilidad de no pocos hogares.
