ALT BOBS AND BETTYS Men and Women Who Are Changing Places WEAK DUDES AND BRAZEN GIRLS Evolution of the Social Scale -- Fops and Their Idea of Marriage A mighty change is going on in the social world, writes MHK in the Chicago Inter Ocean. All the girls are Bobs, all the young men are Bettys, and there is a promise that the whole order of things will be reversed. Femininity is on the decline. The old-fashioned girl has disappeared to make room for her swagger sister. This disgusting young creature, although pure-hearted and clean-minded enough, answers to the nickname of Jim, Jack, Teddy or Billy. She wears spats, shirts, blazers, a fob, sash, monocle, four-in-hand and a derby in summer, and is tailor-fashioned in cool weather. --Spokane Falls Review, 10 August 1890
