“Dressed like this – Would You go Swimming”

Jul 25th “Dressed like this – Would You go Swimming”

“HOT” and “NO AIR-Conditioner”

Since it is so… “HOT” … in this month of JULY…

“HOW would you like to have to dress like the girls in the PHOTO … that follows?”

“Because with no “AIR- CONDITIONER”… you must feel that a dip in the “LAKE” just maybe… you will feel cooler?”

Only a hundred years ago…and you are in the mood to get “cool” with a quick swim in the nearby LAKE … but you would have to first put your “most fancy SWIM-SUIT” …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 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 not surprising… that more women were not just passing out all over the place… due to the HEAT.

So… now 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 swimsuit” as the girls in the above photo have on.

Is… there much of a difference… I think not… just looking at the above “SWIMSUIT” would almost cause a young lady to sink and drown… if she did not faint… just making the changes in the highly attractive attire to wear!

When you have a situation of too much… hot weather… no wonder someone with brains came along and decided she has had enough!

There is always a “MOTHER of Invention” She will come along and say enough is enough… something has to be done and be done NOW!

Over the years… as everything takes some amount of time to change… like less clothes… make them shorter and only one slip and one pair of underwear… lighter colors and lighter fabrics to wear… just look at all those changes happening… putting more people to work and more money in the pocketbook to spend on all these newer and better things… WOW!

“COOL the AIR” in the home and workplace and then in the automobile… wonder if anyone has ever given THANKS… for those persons to have worked long hours … creating inventions of things that will “COOL US” …making living better today than they had back in those 1900 days!

Maybe our SUMMERS just happen to be on the too “HOT Side”… but there is something to remember though…there will always be “TOO HOT” days and times…

So.. from “ME”… a big THANKS to those that can make good changes in this LIFETIME… just a bit cooler and easier for all of us senior citizens … so we can make it through another wonderful day!
