Hey you young'uns.. wanna see how we used to fly?

48. And hats! Dept. stores all had ladies' hats departments.

I recall having at least three hat boxes. You could stack several hats in one box. And the gloves - white kid, different lengths - for summer, and brown or black leather ones for winter. Unlined or lined with cashmere or silk. Wrist length, 4 button length, above the elbow (opera) length to wear with evening dresses. There was an etiquette involved at formal dinner parties - unbutton the buttons at the wrist area, and fold the lower part of the glove and tuck it in above the wrist. Then one ate with bare hands.

So glad those times are long gone.
