“HOT” and “NO AIR-Conditioner”

Jul 23rd “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 feel that a dip in the LAKE – – and maybe you will feel cooler?”

Only a hundred years ago…and 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 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 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… 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 someone – – decided he had enough and invented – – something to “COOL the AIR” – – wonder if anyone has ever given THANKS – – for that person to have made our SUMMERS… that are too HOT – – just a bit easier for us senior citizens to make it through the day!
