The Day Book, Chicago, April 4, 1912

The “Dorothy” bag, the latest receptacle for Milady’s knickknacks. The bag came into unenviable notoriety, when it was conspicuously carried by thousands of militant English suffragettes in their smashing campaign. They found the “Dorothy” the most convenient kind of handbag in which to carry stones and hide hammers.

The Akron Beacon Journal, Ohio, February 14, 1922
I know how goes the quaint galosh,
The co-ed’s – they go squishety-squosh;
There ain’t a soul can make her stop
From lettin’ ‘em go k’flop, k’flop!
But now I’m on the avenoo,
Where flappers pass in...   High-res

The Akron Beacon Journal, Ohio, February 14, 1922

I know how goes the quaint galosh,
The co-ed’s – they go squishety-squosh;
There ain’t a soul can make her stop
From lettin’ ‘em go k’flop, k’flop!

But now I’m on the avenoo,
Where flappers pass in smart revoo;
Their antics don’t go squosh, no chap –
They’re flappers – they go flap, flap, flap!

Let ‘em squosh. Let ‘em flap. Let ‘em play advanced auction, flick a wicked cigaret ash, eat fudge, flaunt permanent waves, and say an occasional dammit!
