"What's this honey?" the husband inquired as he entered the room.
"Oh, its just a statue," she replied nonchalantly. "The Smiths bought one for their bedroom. I liked it so much, I got one for us too."
No more was said about the statue, not even later that night when they went to sleep.

"When in use the flexible part adapts itself to the form of the wearer and the elastic strips stand out therefrom." To make "the magnitude of the bustle adjustable at pleasure simply by shortening or lengthening the flexible parts," eyelets were provided at the extremities of the strips threaded in the same manner as corset lacings. By changing the length of the lacing, the wearer could adjust the size of the bustle.« |
