Towards the end of the great war, in June 1918, America's most authoritative
women's magazine, the Ladies' Home Journal (it still exists), had a few wise
words of advice for fretting mothers. "There has been a great diversity of
debate on the subject," it wrote, "but the generally accepted rule is pink for
the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided
and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more
delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl."
