I agree, Tormentor.  The incident that I mentioned took place around ninty and one-hundred years go.  Situations sure have changed between then and now.

Young men were often advised to root through the garbage cans of someone they are considing as a bride, looking for peals and trimmings.  The reason for the search would be to judge what sort of wife she would make by how little of the food was wasted when trimming and pealing it.  Meanwhile, young ladies were advised to observe how much a young man who she is considering, contributes to the upkeep of his family and how selfdiciplined he it.  If the yound man has a job as a laborer, to observe how tired and dirty he is when he returns from work.  The more tired and dirty the better a provider he could be.  The closer his was to his family the better a father he would be, etc.
