She had been through school and college
And could write herself ABB;
She had studied a profession,

She had dwelt in college settlements,
And had clear, decided Views

But she still remained all feminine
Despite acquired lore
She could never meet woman
Without noting all she wore.
A woman who is pronounced So

she guided her conduct with discretion
in working zealously to achieve her
popularity.
Long ago." she said, IT came across,
In the Letters from Under Bridge of
