“I will pass over the days of pap and petting, red shoes and blue sash, as being that only period when any thing of equality subsists between the sexes; and pass on to the time when all girls are awkward, and most of them ugly—days of back-boards and collars, red elbows, French, Italian, musical and calisthenic exercises.”
