-flappers would follow in the path Of Gloria Cor
don, The Star wishes to present the other side.
Hundreds of flappers marry each year in Seattle
Nearly every of them turns out to be fine home
loving little wife.
The Star wants to tell the stories of some Of these
deay-happy flapper wives. II wants the fapper wives
