But who can blame them? I implore you, Caroline, to remain an old maid twenty times over rather than so degrade your sex! Lots of girls are frightfully eager about their partners, ferreting them out and reminding them of their engagements. BUT WHO CAN BLAME THEM I IMPLORE YOU CAROLINE TO REMAIN AN OLD MAID TWENTY TIMES OVER RATHER THAN SO DEGRADE YOUR SEX LOTS OF GIRLS ARE FRIGHTFULLY EAGER ABOUT THEIR PARTNERS FERRETING THEM OUT AND REMINDING THEM OF THEIR ENGAGEMENTS
ith that awful bundle of sausage curls which I warned you about! The mother looks a charming woman, but evidently has not what the Americans call the natural “horse sense” to see that her poor child is being shamefully handicapped and will be so for years, until the necessity to remove these drawbacks strikes her own intelligence. But, to turn from material things, there is another curious wave over society which renders women less attractive than they were, and it is caused by their numerical supremacy. A large percentage of them are the seekers, not the sought-after. They actually hunt men!--the mothers for their daughters, the girls for themselves--so that the attitude of most of the modern _jeunesse dorée_ is one of self-defence. They are so sick of invitations being poured upon them, of being grabbed for this and that, so wearied with girls flinging themselves at their heads, that their manners have often become of an insolence that would not have been tolerated twenty years ago.   HER HAIR IS ARRANGED WITH THAT AWFUL BUNDLE OF SAUSAGE CURLS WHICH I WARNED YOU ABOUT THE MOTHER LOOKS A CHARMING WOMAN BUT EVIDENTLY HAS NOT WHAT THE AMERICANS CALL THE NATURAL HORSE SENSE TO SEE THAT HER POOR CHILD IS BEING SHAMEFULLY HANDICAPPED AND WILL BE SO FOR YEARS UNTIL THE NECESSITY TO REMOVE THESE DRAWBACKS STRIKES HER OWN INTELLIGENCE BUT TO TURN FROM MATERIAL THINGS THERE IS ANOTHER CURIOUS WAVE OVER SOCIETY WHICH RENDERS WOMEN LESS ATTRACTIVE THAN THEY WERE AND IT IS CAUSED BY THEIR NUMERICAL SUPREMACY A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THEM ARE THE SEEKERS NOT THE SOUGHT AFTER THEY ACTUALLY HUNT MEN THE MOTHERS FOR THEIR DAUGHTERS THE GIRLS FOR THEMSELVES SO THAT THE ATTITUDE OF MOST OF THE MODERN JENNA'S DORRAE IS ONE OF SELF DEFENCE THEY ARE SO SICK OF INVITATIONS BEING POURED UPON THEM OF BEING GRABBED FOR THIS AND THAT SO WEARIED WITH GIRLS FLINGING THEMSELVES AT THEIR HEADS THAT THEIR MANNERS HAVE OFTEN BECOME OF AN INSOLENCE THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TOLERATED TWENTY YEARS AGO
