“Is it too HOT – where you are?”
These are “Brady Family Cousins” – – and they sure do… DO a whole lot of FUN things – – even on … the really HOT DAYS in Missouri!
It really is amazing to me – – that with all of those long skirts and high neck “Collar with Bows” so tight around the neck “DRESSES” – – that with the high amount of “HEAT” to contend with – – that these young ladies were able to … cook… clean the house… do the laundry… and then have all kinds of things to do out side – play games or even take long works – – “how comfortable could they ever be?”
Just looking at their faces… they sure do look like they are having lots of FUN!
Even on SUNDAY… to go to CHURCH – – – one must wear layers and layers of material in just the dress – – and then a very large and fancy “HAT” – – which would be on top of some very long hair – which would be rolled up in thick curls – and all of this held together with a hundred “HAIR PINS” – – just thinking about the amount of the weight – – could throw you “off” balance.
Just thinking… back then “LADIES” would wear gloves – – and their DRESSES would have long sleeves to the wrist – – and with the gloves – – that may even over lap in the wrist area – – – FORBID… any one letting any skin show other than the face!
A further thought… as HOT as it is TODAY… and I do not have to wear all of those extra clothes – – what could I say about my self – – if I even thought to say out loud… “It is too HOT for me to do anything… TODAY… when it is 100 degrees!” – – “and that’s with me wearing shorts and a sleeveless shirt???”
