Much learning doesn’t rob a woman of her femininity. It just seems that way because you can’t feel superior to her unless she’s dumb.

The “Dorothy” bag, the latest receptacle for Milady’s knickknacks. The bag came into unenviable notoriety, when it was conspicuously carried by thousands of militant English suffragettes in their smashing campaign. They found the “Dorothy” the most convenient kind of handbag in which to carry stones and hide hammers.

He believed that all he had to do was to throw his handkerchief at a woman and she would humbly and thankfully become his wife. Now that sort of man merely bored a woman. And she’s not going to pretend he doesn’t.

I know how goes the quaint galosh,
The co-ed’s – they go squishety-squosh;
There ain’t a soul can make her stop
From lettin’ ‘em go k’flop, k’flop!
But now I’m on the avenoo,
Where flappers pass in smart revoo;
Their antics don’t go squosh, no chap –
They’re flappers – they go flap, flap, flap!
Let ‘em squosh. Let ‘em flap. Let ‘em play advanced auction, flick a wicked cigaret ash, eat fudge, flaunt permanent waves, and say an occasional dammit!
