Subject: RE: Origins: Why is a low apron desirable?
No, not wrong: I agree absolutely that the high apron surely implies pregnancy. The [floating] verses generally follow pattern of "Apron low, would follow me thru frost & snow"; "Apron high, sees me not & passes by"; "Apron strings won't pin, passes my door & won't come in" ~~ or some such.
