In America, it is clipping her wings, chaining her down, shutting her up, no more gayety, no more admiration; nothing but cradles and cribs, and bibs and tuckers, little narrowing, wearing, domestic cares, hard, vulgar domestic slaveries: and so our women lose their bloom and health and freshness, and are moped to death." "I can't see the thing in that light, Mrs. Follingsbee," said old Mrs.
And I wouldn't cast reflections by arguing objections that haven't been made, if I were the leader of this enterprise, Miss Bree." "Kate! That's what I call real double lock-stitch pluck! That goes back of everything. You needn't shut up any more. Now let's come down and see about supper." They had pinned on linen aprons, with three-cornered bibs; such as they wore at their machines.
Washington was said to be so grand a lady, we thought we must put on our best bibs and bands; so we dressed ourselves in our most elegant ruffles and silks, and were introduced to her ladyship; and don't you think we found her knitting, and with her check apron on! She received us very graciously and easily; but after the compliments were over, she resumed her knitting.
They were all dressed up, too. There were the father and mother, with gray wigs and black clothes, and the young Greens in bibs and tuckers. They were a queer-looking crowd.
Five stand buried almost up to their shoulders in a heaping of little stones, testifying to the prayers of generations; and votive yodarekake, infant bibs of divers colours, have been put about the necks of these for the love of children lost. But one of the gentle god's images lies shattered and overthrown in its own scattered pebble-pile-broken perhaps by some passing wagon.
For example, when thou thyself, a watery, pulpy, slobbery freshman and new-comer in this Planet, sattest muling and puking in thy nurse's arms; sucking thy coral, and looking forth into the world in the blankest manner, what hadst thou been without thy blankets, and bibs, and other nameless hulls? A terror to thyself and mankind!
There's a fellow going to call for me at eight and we're going to a show a good fellow for me to know, Irving Shapiro, city salesman for the Empire Waist Company. I ain't still in bibs, ma, that I got to be bossed where I go nights." "Ach, Izzy, for why can't you stay home this evening?
Take a class in a college settlement, make some bibs for a day nursery, give tramps a C.O.S. card, with one's compliments, and attend about six lectures a year on Philanthropy the lectures very good indeed. One is then a full-fledged altruist, n'est-ce pas? The philanthropy of to-day has a bewildering iridescence of aspect. Each present impulse is reformatory.
The high-road was reported to be wonderfully lively with cattle this afternoon; consequently we came upon Onkel Johann, that most experienced man in the stall, seated by another judge of cattle on a wall, wearing their very longest white aprons and bibs, so that they almost touched the ground. We therefore lingered, and thus saw the beautiful herd. It had suffered from no cruel phantom this year.
The finer points of the scheme were beginning to stand out before him with a growing clarity. "Would I have to take my bib?" he asked excitedly. Steve uttered a scornful laugh. "No, sir! We don't wear bibs out there." As far as William Bannister was concerned, this appeared to settle it. Of all the trials of his young life he hated most his bib. "Let's go!" Steve breathed a sigh of relief.
