Explore "Pernicious Peaches" by Oliver Herford on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The Pernicious Peaches whereof we speak are never out of season. They may be seen almost any month of the year on the covers of magazines, devoted to the moral and social uplift of young girls in general, and the American young girl in particular.
The February magazine peach crop is usually most abundant-All through the merry month of Saint Valentine they hang on the news-stands, singly or in clusters, and Peaches they are to be sure-Peaches in the stupidest, cheapest, slangiest nonsense of the word.
