Text	[the Red Stockings in Philadelphia] How far they had succeeded in winning the especial admiration of some of Philadelphia's fair daughters may be determined from a slight circumstance. During Sunday night the rain had fallen pretty freely, and thus an excuse was afforded several of the Philadelphia darlings for raising their skirts, just to keep them from trailing on the wet sidewalk in front of the hotel at which the Cincinnati folks were staying, and to show just enough of pretty ankles, enclosed in red stockings, which, despite the intense heat of the day, the proprietors of the aforesaid pretty ankles had procured and donned to assure the visitors that they had influential “friends at court.” Whoever can secure the favor of the ladies has certainly influential “friends at court,” and the fine-looking young men composing the Cincinnati nine had gained, beyond a doubt, the favor of the ladies.
