WHY?
Why Do We Call an Effeminate Man
"MiSS Naney?~
Copyright. 1920. by
Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.

The connection between effeminancy
and the commonly accepted term Miss
Nancy" dates back TO tho early part OF
the eighteenth century 10 the lifetime
~ Mrs Anna uldfeld. a celebrated
actress. who was the original Miss
Nancy. so far as her fastidiousness
vas concerned Mrs. Oldfield was ex-
tremely vain. both with respect to her
talents and her dress, and when her
will was read il was found that she
had left explicit directions as TO the
manner in which she was to be- laid
out in her coffin. She was 10 be dressed
IN a very fine Brussels lace head dress,
Holland shift with tucker and double
ruffles Of the same lace a pair of new
silk gloves" and various other bits of
finery which the actress had laid aside
IN preparation for this occasion, a cir
cumstapce alluded To by Pope in the
following couplct in his Moral Essays
.Odious in wooden: 'Twould a saint
provoke"
Were the last words which poor Mar
Cissa spoke.
Mrs. Oldfelds eccentricities were SO
well known and so widely commented
upon. that il gradually became the Gus
tom TO refer to anyone who was over
particular about their dress or speech,
as a Miss Nancy" the popular name
for the actress custom which has
persisted to this day.
