"Just think!" she cried, "Margaret Leslie is going to be house mother for the Old Girls this year, and she says that there are about a hundred out-of-town girls coming to the Reunion, and of course there'll be heaps of town girls. Won't it be heavenly?" and she hopped on one foot for joy. Then the three had a race to the schoolroom door. Middies and bloomers simply compel one to run and scamper.
She put on her bonnet, and they strolled down the road. All the time Lemuel had to keep from looking at her bloomers. When they met any one driving, he had to keep himself from trying to look as if he were not with her, but was just out walking alone. The day wore heavily away.
Already her plain serge dress had been hung away and she was in a blouse and bloomers like Peggy's! "I don't know," began Peggy doubtfully. "Oh, please, let me have a ride," broke in Keineth in a voice she tried to make as careless as Billy's own. "We always ride Gypsy bareback climb up here on these boxes!"
Another article of clothing which was very popular with ladies at one time was the Garibaldi blouse, which was so called after the red shirts which were worn by the followers of the famous soldier who won liberty for Italy, Garibaldi. The rather vulgar name for ladies' divided skirts bloomers came from the name of an American woman, Mrs.

Ef women want any rights more 'n dey 's got, why don't dey jes' take 'em, an' not be talkin' about it? Some on 'em came round me, an' asked why I didn't wear Bloomers. An' I told 'em I had Bloomers enough when I was in bondage.
"My name is Richard Dunbar, and this is my son Barry." "My name is Osborne Howland, of Pittsburgh, and this is my daughter Paula. In bloomers, as you see, but nevertheless my daughter. Meet also my friend and partner, Mr. Cornwall Brand."
Hildreth Baxter, in blouse and bloomers; she was reading. "Why, Johnnie Gregory!" she cried, swinging her graceful, slim legs down, and rising, coming toward me, extending her hand in greeting.... "Why, Johnnie Gregory YOU here!" "Yes, didn't you! "And you and Ruth were right!" "Yes, I was right," she assented, leaving "Ruth" out, with naïve egoism.
The Bloomers figured extensively in the anti-slavery amalgamation convention, and were rather looked up to, but their intemperate ideas would not be tolerated in the temperance meeting at the Brick Chapel....
