Oct 5th “Over One Hundred years…ago!”

Little Marie Brady… in Moberly…Montgomery City

The adults in this photo are…Stella and Carol.

The DUFFY GIRLS… DORA…MARTHA…PEGGY

“If… I do say so…myself – these “GIRLS” sure look like – – and are so HAPPY …that finally – someone has decided to show them off to the whole wide world!”

When you think back – – that there was no “Air-conditioning” and the weather was HOT – and these “GIRLS” are wearing HATS…LONG SKIRTS… long PET TI-COATS…. no wonder the waist-line is so small???

My MOTHER…would often talk about her visiting the “DUFFY GIRLS” and that DORA was the one that would be accused of doing the dumbest of things – and that she would cause so much commotion – that – I remember hearing my MOTHER say…”When “DORA” was DUMB – -no one was dumber???”

So… when the occasion would occur that I had done something “DUMB” – and like everyone …will do – – from time to time – – I had old DUMB DORA … to blame – – and then… we would just laugh – – it was “good medicine” for me!

Is this a “WOW” Picture or NOT???”

This is DORA and PEGGY…and – – are they dressed to go and DROWN their selves… or… do they really think that they will be able to swim… with all those “extra” heavy clothes on??? – I was wondering. too – – the “GIRLS” in those days …with all of those clothes … they didn’t really think – – that they were “SUN BATHING???” – – “DID THEY???”
