“Why so HOT in JULY – – TODAY and not YESTERDAY”
*****“HOT” and “NO AIR-Conditioner”*****
Since it is so… “HOT” – in this month of JULY… “HOW would you like to have had to dress like the girls in the PHOTO … that follows – because with no “AIR- CONDITIONER” – you feel that taking a dip in the LAKE – just – maybe you will feel cooler?”
Only a hundred years ago… you are in the mood to get “cool” – with a swim in the near-by LAKE – you would have to first put your “most fancy of SWIM-SUITS” on! In the early 1900’s – – you may not remember … since you did not have to LIVE in those days – – but your daily dress attire would include, a very long dark color dress, with long sleeves and a high collar. Under this dress would be a corset and pantaloons or drawers – knickers of the most baggy of size that would button or maybe you would have to gather around the waist – and then tie around the waist as tight as you want – then maybe two petticoats with at least six yards of material – and a couple of matching petticoats – depending on the weather.
Well… with all of those clothes on your body… it is surprising that more women did not just pass out – due to the HEAT. So if and when ready to take a “SWIM to COOL” off – a young lady would take off all of the above listed clothing – and then put on that “fancy swim-suit” – – as the girls in the above photo have on. Is there much of a difference – I think – that the above “SWIM-SUIT” would almost cause – a young lady to sink and drown.
When you have a situation of too much “hot weather” – no wonder that finally someone – decided he had – had enough and invented – something to “COOL the AIR” – wonder if anyone has ever given a BIG THANKS – for which that person did to have made our SUMMERS just a bit more livable – so that we are no longer too HOT – it is just a bit easier for all of us “senior” citizens to make it through the HOT days of JULY!
“When it gets just too “HOT” feel free to cool yourself – with that new invention called the “Air-Conditioner” or with the new style of “Bathing attire” in the year of 2018!”
