Hi AlanF,
I remember reading that Rutherford was quoting Kipling when he
made the remark about women being a "bag of bones, and a hank
of hair"....He probably thought he was so cultured, quoting
Kipling like that.
Somebody should have given Rutherford a severe tongue lashing, for
speaking so disrespectfully of women. It appears that no one
around Rutherford had the nerve to do so. (except for Salter, and
Moyle, both of which got the boot from Brooklyn)
Well, I decided to look up the quote, first what "The Judge" said:
"A woman is nothing more than "a hank of hair and a bag of bones."
