However, deTocqueville did include this brief mention when recording his first impressions of New York, "All the customs of life show this mingling of the two classes which in Europe take so much trouble to keep apart. The women dress for the whole day at seven in the morning. At nine o'clock one can already make calls. At noon one is received everywhere. Everything bears the stamp of a very busy existence. We have not yet seen any fashionables. I even have the notion that good morals are here the result less of the severity of principles than of the impossibility in which all the young people find themselves of thinking of love or busying themselves seriously with it" (Pierson, 70).</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Times, serif;color:#B22222;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Times, serif;color:#B22222;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><a href="http://xroads.virginia.edu/~HYPER/DETOC/every/fashion.htm">Full Text</a></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Times, serif;color:#B22222;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Times, serif;color:#B22222;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8626003124078152315-3978265421450655453?l=daisy1800s.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Daisy Palaciohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11632527384265647036noreply@blogger.com0
