Excerpt
"Oh, if I could only dress as the Mexicans do! Their necks and arms do look so cool and clean. I have always been sorry I did not adopt their fashion of house apparel. Instead of that, I yielded to the prejudices of my conservative partner and sweltered during the day in high-necked and long-sleeved white dresses."
