Cynical About Piousness, 1897
I feel that I may have witnessed this phenomenon myself:
When a girl looks interested in a sermon, she is generally thinking how she would like to lie flat on her back with her knees up.
From Reflections of a Bachelor, New York Press 1897 (as reported by @TweetsOfOld).

I have actually known women to be interested in theology, but it’s not really that common, even among church-goers. Women being interested in pleasure now, I’ve happily found that to be quite rampant in the human species
If I remember my youth correctly, church was the one chance per week that the ladies could count on having an excuse to bathe, perfume, paint their nails and lips, coiffe their hair, put on their darkest mascara, their brightest powder, don their flashiest jewelry, and teeter on their highest heels in their tightest clothing.
In other words, there were about four chances a month when a woman had a good excuse to dress up like a resident of a French whorehouse or a Vegas showgirl.
Sometimes they even wore gloves and fishnet veils that hung from strategically placed hat brims.
To see such costuming today, you usually have to visit your local dominatrix.
Oh, they used to get dressed up too, the desire to parade in front of prospective mates (for men and women) doesn’t go away
Tweets of Old is totally my hero. I hope to be half that entertaining someday.
