Girls used to have fun

This is a collection of light-hearted stories about Patty, a fun-loving student at a prestigious girls' collge at the turn of the last century. The stories relate the various schemes and jokes she gets involved in, and her occasional acts of kindness towards other students. If you enjoyed 'Daddy Long Legs' then you may enjoy this too, though it lacks the coherent plot and the drama and romance of the later book. But it does give an enjoyable picture of life at college for girls who seemed to manage to enjoy themselves without the help of boys or drugs, and without a wearisome obsession with dieting (Patty and her friends are all hearty eaters). One cannot help feeling that, based on this book and 'Daddy Long Legs' college used to be a lot more fun than it is now.
