The gloves and slippers were quite dirty, and the barege was old and darned; but the general effect was so very gorgeous, that the children, who were dressed for play, in gingham frocks and white aprons, were quite dazzled at the appearance of their guest.
"O, it's teacher, mother," said Martha, springing to meet her, light coming into her heavy, swollen eyes. "And how do you do, ma'am; it's kind of you to come. And it's a sorry day this has been." By this time chairs had been backed until they could go no farther, aprons smoothed, and the sleeves of the tall orator pulled down.
At other times she was satisfied to be what Doctor Hugh insisted she should be content to be for several more years, "just a little girl."

The white aprons and caps were much coveted and whatever other study might be neglected, each girl usually put her best into the weekly cooking lesson.
A girl who earns her own living, hearing I was making these aprons, sent me this one which she bought.

Upon this pillar, and on the slender rafters, were laid or suspended sundry Indian utensils of the kitchen and the field, wooden bowls, earthen pans and Irazen pots, guns, hatchets, and fish-spears, with ears of corn, dried roots, smoked meats, blankets and skins, and many articles that had perhaps been plundered from the Long-knives, such as halters and bridles, hats, coats shawls, and aprons, and other such gear; among which was conspicuous a bundle of scalps, some of them with long female tresses, the proofs of the prowess of a great warrior, who, like the other fighting-men of his race, accounted the golden ringlets of a girl as noble a trophy of valour as the grizzled locks of a veteran soldier.
