Dear all,
this from the sketch 'Professional Youth' (1923) by Dorothy Parker.
GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS
The funny thing is that if you took only a quick glance at them you would think they were nothing more than regular girls. They may run a bit to trick earrings, and it is evident that much of this talk about rouge and lip sticks has its foundation in fact.
I guess run a bit to trick earrings is about the same as to (take) trouble to be obliging, thoughtful and so on to coax (from, say, father or husband) earings. Is this correct?
