I do not mean that girls are to neglect their personal appearance and go about slovenly and untidy, but I allude to those girls who think of nothing else only trying to follow the fashion and catch a husband.

Well, if I were a young man (which, thank God, GG is not) I would lookout for some sensible, pure, true-hearted girl to be my partner for life, I would certainly “steer clear” of the flirts.

the women’s fault, for my idea is that if all women were gentle, pure, and refined, they would have a good influence over the men they come in contact with; but men cannot really have very much respect for a good woman when they meet one if all the women and girls of their acquaintance are fast, slangy creatures.
