In the Year of Jubilee

CHAPTER 5
20/26

When common sense has a chance of getting in a word with you, you'll understand what I now tell you.

Wherever you look now-a-days there's sham and rottenness; but the most worthless creature living is one of these trashy, flashy girls,--the kind of girl you see everywhere, high and low,--calling themselves "ladies,"-- thinking themselves too good for any honest, womanly work.

Town and country, it's all the same.

They're educated; oh yes, they're educated! What sort of wives do they make, with their education?
What sort of mothers are they?
Before long, there'll be no such thing as a home.

They don't know what the word means.
