Mon Amie, with her rosy blushes, reminds me of a jocund miller's boy; as for myself, well, I do not think the Bloomer dress so very bad, after all! A torch-bearing band have stationed themselves at the doors to bid us god-speed, to make merry at our droll masquerade, to quiz our odd head-gear, to criticize us from head to foot, in short, but between all, to offer words of caution.
Bloomer's term expired and a man once more reigned in her stead. However, she still edited the Lily, and her office remained a fashionable center for several years. Although she wore the bloomer dress, its originator was Elizabeth Smith Miller, the only daughter of Gerrit Smith. In the winter of 1852 Mrs.
A healthy note, by Godfreys, ain't it now!" "A healthy note," or words to that effect, was exactly what it was; Martha and Lulie were in thorough accord with Zach as to that. Galusha did not say very much. He rubbed his chin a good deal and when, after Bloomer had departed, Lulie came close to breaking down and crying, he still was silent, although nervous and evidently much disturbed.
Like a captive set free from his ball and chain, I was always ready for a brisk walk through sleet and snow and rain, to climb a mountain, jump over a fence, work in the garden, and, in fact, for any necessary locomotion. Bloomer is now a recognized word in the English language. Mrs.
The teachers don't like them much." "Oh, our teacher does," said Dot, eagerly. "There's Jacob Bloomer. You know his father is the German baker on Meadow Street. Our teacher used to like him a lot." "And what's the matter with Jakey now?" asked Agnes. "Is he in her bad books?" "I don't know would you call it 'bad books," Dot said. "But he doesn't bring the teacher a pretzel any more."
Galusha paused, with one arm still in the sleeve of his overcoat. "Happen? What has happened to ah Mr. Bloomer?" "Ain't nothin' happened to him. 'Twas him that made it happen to your letter.

And, in England, when we make a change, we always rush violently into an opposite extreme. Woman had a mission, and no mistake. Now it was the franchise and Bloomer costume, just as aforetime it was the pianoforte and general fascination. Blue spectacles rose in the market. We had lady doctors and female lawyers. The only marvel is that there was no agitation for feminine curates.
Had you just as soon answer me somethin' if I ask it of you, had you, Mr. Bangs?" "Yes, Primmie." "Just as soon's not, had you?" "Yes, quite as soon." "All right. Then I I... Let me see now, what was it I was goin' to ask? Zach Bloomer, stop your makin' faces, you put it all out of my head. It's all right, Mr. Bangs, I'll think of it in a minute.

The wind blowed so strong it lifted the lightship right out of the water up to the ends of them chains and kept her there. Course there was a dreadful sea runnin' underneath us, but we never felt it a mite; that gale was holdin' us up twenty foot clear of it!" "Zacheus Bloomer, do you mean to say " "Um-hm.
