Show Woman, Lovely Woman. (Harper's Weekly.) Her waist begins just below her neck. Her hips have been planed off even . with the rest of her body. She is usually usu-ally buttoned up the back, and around her neck she wears a section of barbed wire covered with lace. She wears on her head a blond haystack of hair and on top of this a central dome with rings about the same size as those of Saturn. She is swathed in her gown like an Indian papoose, and on the end of her feet are dabs of patent leather. She walks on stiltlike heels with the expertness of a tightrope dancer. The pores of her skin are full of fine white powder. This is a woman. |
