On Girls

Girls are very stuck up and dignefied in their maner
and be have your. They think more of dress than
anything and like to play with dowls and rags. They
cry if they see a cow in a far distance and are afraid of
guns. They stay at home all the time and go to
church on Sunday. They are al-ways sick. They are
always funy and making fun of boy's hands and they
say how dirty. They cant play marbels. I pity them
poor things. They make fun of boys and then turn
round and love them. I dont beleave they ever kiled a
cat or anything. They look out every nite and say oh
ant the moon lovely. Thir is one thing I have not told
and that is they al-ways now their lessons bettern boys.
