To THE COURRIER;
One of your editors who must think he's awful smart, wrote a piece about "Girls and Parlors" in a late Courier, which makes out that the girls down here don't encourage the boys, and are prudish and all that. Now it isn't so, that's what it isn't! It's not a bit so. If it is so, it's the boy's fault, not mine—I mean not the girls'. If your editor says in last week's paper about "dress balls" is so, then we girls encourage the boys a million times more than your girls, that's what we do.
Now just for instance: A boy brought me a note from one of the young gentlemen here whom I know likes me a big lot, 'cause he walked home with me every day for a week, and carried my books and bought me a glass of soda water, and said some awfully nice things to me, that's what he did. But as I was saying, he sent me a note wanting me to go to church with him Sunday night, providing the walking was good. I said "yes" right off, cause I thought he'd have some sense, but he didn't, that's what he didn't.
When we started out of the gate I said it was so nice because it was so dark, and what happened in the dark wasn't seen, and what wasn't seen never happened. Now wasn't that encouraging? But he said he was awfully sorry he hadn't brought his lantern, as there was danger of falling into the ditches. He didn't seem to understand me, and so I remarked it was awfully queer that girls who started from home dressed all in white should have broad, black bands about their waists before they got very far. He said he'd never noticed it, but presumed they put a black scarf around them to keep them warm. Couldn't take the hint, that's what he couldn't!
And that's the way he did all the time. I encouraged him all I could, that's sure, without speaking right out. Asked him what he supposed his Pa and Ma did when they were young. He answered that his father worked 'round, and his mother taught school in winter. Asked him what he thought was the reason my roommate and her beau only took one chair along when they went out on the lawn, and what do you think? He said the boy probably sat on the grass, so as to have plenty of room! I call that downright dumb, that's what I do.
When we got home I said I didn't think anyone should kiss except girls and brothers and sisters, and those that thought a great deal of one another. He said he believed so too, and never kissed anyone except his mother and his big Newfoundland dog! Wasn't that too mean for any use? I shant go with him another time, that's what I shant.
Now I never wrote for a paper before, but when I saw that piece about "Girls and Parlors" it made me real mad 'cause I knew your editor hadn't been down here and didn't know the truth. Anyhow, I'm sure he haint met any of our girls, that's what he haint.
