They were becoming engineers, cpa's, lawyers and doctors. The penalty of being plain no longer meant being a wallflower, and yet the word still allows me to picture the pain of rejection. Hey, guys could understand this as well and even suffer once in a while from the same, but no tears. Your symbolism of the little umbrellas is perfect.

It is amazing to see what girls and women had to read, and this was written by a successful women, Ann Batchelder, food editor of The Ladies Home Journal. Totally 1950 ridiculous.

Interesting social commentary along with the salad hint. “…otherwise the dressing will roll off faster than tears off a wallflower’s cheeks…” huh?
