Document Summary
The mothers who dressed their children in these wild outfits (velvet and lace scarves) Wanted every child, male and female, to look the exact same and would curl their hair and dress them in these outrageous outfits. Another story of taking a child who is unwell and then bringing them into the light and healing them. The beautiful child in this story is colin. A good child in the poor school is treated poorly then moves to a new school and is treated very well. Then they believe her father is dead (which he isn"t) and claims she has no money so she has to become a maid and is treated very poorly. Two oppressed children who ultimately need to be brought back to well- being. Also stands for the body of the woman, a female saint, or a virgin.
