TO AVOID FRECKLEs.
Have you noticed the way the 1901
girl holds up her gown2
This catching up of ones f7ounces in
a rustling mop OF f1uted taffeta is typ
zeal of the evolution of womankind.

maid, of severe lines, high choking linen
collar. vest closely buttoned and skirts
of straight seams, was quite the vogue.

fittings of silk. To be quite correct,
one must wear boots of military heels
that have been built up high. The
walk then is much like the stumpy gait
of a wooden Indian. but what does that
matter if one is in style2
Aren't women funny things?
After all, how charmings they are
with their foibles and compelling little
destinations.
