Another nice picture of my Aunt Flo in NDG, no doubt. The little houses in the back are the kind they built for soldiers returning after the war.
My Aunt Flo had white hair since she was about 20. She’s about 40 here. She always looked nice as she worked as a salesgirl at the Hudson’s Bay, or Morgan’s, and got her dresses at a discount. She had to kids, so spent her spare money on herself, while living quite frugally. She lived on a street called West Hill and maybe this is the park adjacent, which later became the grounds to Marymount High School.
Anyway, I invited some scholars to look over my draft of Threshold Girl.. a bold move, but what else do you do?
It worked out well…
A new Delineator is coming today, and I will incorporate some of it into the book. It’s the Delineator for August 1911, the month the Nicholsons are sewing Flora up for school. I have no idea what articles the issue contains, as the seller didn’t think they’d be of any interest. But I am sure they will be.
