To even see her (and I am counted with the old friends) the nurse must give a morning okeh and then they test her pulse every fifteen minutes while you wait and hope So naturally I expected a wan and wilted woman Was she?

The basque fitted below the waist and the fullness of the skirt sprang becomingly from there (like tew evening clothes) The hem was 'edged with purple and a rick rack of gold and her Mexican sandals had been dyed purple to match Peggy has a friend who does all this for her a costume designer who had done many of the costumes for the San Juan Bautista pageant plays which Peggy has written (and sometimes directed) for years So when the bad heart put her to bed this friend took over the personal costuming situation a gesture of love They decided that the color of peasant clothes best suited Peggy's dramatic eyes with which portrait artists have done so much at times Besides she likes the roguery of it tonic that it is to very woman! Her petticoat was a whole story in itself too It was a 1900 one row below row of lace insertion in the beautiful flounce And she has others too from that lace and handwork era And indeed there are even white batiste panties to match beading and black velvet ribbons and all! The convalescent clothes didn't stop here either There were three more costumes three skirts of the most thrilling peasant prints I have ever seen and lor these three mist length coarsely knitted sweaters in gorgeously gay purple red and such colors: The very sight of them made tingle with excitement!
