Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 98, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 August 1901 — A Society Reporter. [ARTICLE]

A Society Reporter.

This is how an accomplished society reporter on a Dakota paper gave a description of the costumes worn by the ladies of the party: Miss Mary Monroe, red frock, white sack and hair bunched; Miss Emma Latrobe, yellow dress and high-heeled slippers; Miss Marion Willoughby, some kind of white thin stuff, tied up in blue tape, and hair frizzed. Miss Jennie Murohfield, red hair and gray suit, flat in front and stuck out behind; Miss Pauline Taely, bigger’n a tub and dress up to top branch —she had a velvet outfit a mile long, and 16 rows of buttons on her gloves—her hair was a dead yellow tied up like a bun and had a lot of vegetables in it; Miss Florence Ross, green dress, flipped with velvet and hoisted up at the sides with a white checkrein.
