SNUGGIES
These soft rib combed cotton garments come in a variety of pieces. My grandmother wore a camisole and the knee length snuggies. At that time they came in a sort of the salmon colored which was pretty ugly when it washed out. Now you can buy them in white or natural. It came to be the knee length garment was something I would wear while playing outdoors, ice skating, and horseback riding on a cold saddle.
These garments are available today in sizes medium to 3X. The camisole sells for $27; and the knee length sells for $22. Perhaps, after seeing this advertisement I should invest in some and put aside my long silk underwear.
NIGHTSHIRTS
Would your husband where a nightshirt ? They are available for $50. You may buy plaid flannel or solid broadcloth. It says: You can be assured of comfort in these 100% cotton night shirts. This traditional style has maintained its popularity all these years because of its loose and non- confining fit. The nightshirt has tails and a button placket. The price of the sleep cap or night cap which matches it, is $10. The only time I’ve ever seen anybody in sort of garment is Fred from the I Love Lucy show.

TRUNK STYLE PANTS
Moving right along I am looking ads women’s underwear. We know all about the regular kind but did anyone in your household ever have the old fashioned trunks style which are advertised as softer, roomier , and nonbinding? Trunks were like boxer shorts and were about mid-thigh length. I never saw my grandmother in her underwear I only saw her trunks in the drawer. She wore a corset; at night, she would place it across the back of the chair. She must’ve had her corset for a long time because it had numerous patches on it. I don’t know why she wore a corset with bones and laces, people didn’t talk about things like that. Although I did wonder if she had worn the garment as a young woman and continued to wear it. Price of trunks: $25 a pair. Size 6 -- 14.

PERFUMES AND TOILET WATERS
I am smiling because I am reading about a product called Tweed. Tweed is advertised as an exotic, woody British scent. I suppose that someone gave my grandmother a bottle of toilet water and powder as a gift. After my grandmother died, my grandfather started wearing the Tweed toilet water and dusting himself with her powder. Mother told him, purely in kindness, that the scent was very much a lady’s, and offered him some of daddy’s Old Spice, which he took. Imagine daddy’s query when he couldn’t find his pre-shave!

Can you make cents of scents? Has Wind Song stayed on your mind? Will Heaven Scent please your senses? Are you wild enough to wear Tigress? Is sultry honeysuckle scent the way you pamper yourself as women have done since 1932? Or does Woodhue await you? Do you remember “promise or anything, but give her Arpege”. How about Emeraude which is an exotic blend of jasmine, orange blossoms, and bergamot. Did you buy Evening in Paris for your mother from the dimestore for seventeen cents a bottle? Evening in Paris, considered the most famous fragrance of the world, was the perfume of the daring decade of the 1920s.. By the 1950s, it was toted as the fragrance more women wear any other in the world. It sells for $49 a bottle. Or was it Blue Waltz?
Old trunks is searching for the availability of a spray cologne called 20 Karat. It was a favorite of mine while I was in high school, yet it fell into disfavor when the bottle got trapped underneath the seat of the car and sprayed out over skip weekend. The car reeked of what once was a nice, light scent. For those of us who spent the weekend in a car called Rag Doll, we will never forget the aroma. Soozi, If I can find it, would you like a gallon or so for your birthday!?
Absurd.
