“If Miss⟳ McFlimsey has neat ankles, she can wear⟳ short dresses: if she has clumsy ones she can wear⟳ a trail; if she is inclined to be (pardon the word) “scrawny,” she can indulge in expensive skirts and protuberant “panniers;” if inclined to embonpoint, she can discard these and “gore” her robes; if her neck and arms are exquisitely moulded, she can undrape their dazzling charms; if bone predominates over plumpitude, she can cover⟳ them from the gaze of flying eyes; if she has a disease of the spine, she need⟳ not sport “the Grecian bend⟳;” if she is unfortunately healthy, she can call⟳ in the aid of that modern deformity—and so on, ad infinitum and ad nauseum.”
