One one hand, times have changed so much, but looked at another way, things really aren't so different. I just adore reading these.

The questions definitely teach us about that period of time in a way that history books would not. You were right about the subject of war weaving throughout the questions this time.

She married in 1917 and I can see that she continued to be a reflection of her generation. Love these Ardis, thanks for sharing them.

We're getting near the end of the string, although I might go back and pick up some of the second-best bits to stretch it out a little. Since I didn't realize this would be as popular as it's been, it could easily be that some of what I passed over could be of even greater amusement to some. I’m glad you enjoy them, Hunter.

I think it's partly that they give me a glimpse of an earlier time, but also because, frankly, I learn something new each time. (I didn't know much about the word "khaki" till today.) And, I loved the one about the size of your nose: "You cannot change it, . . . rather let your manner and disposition be so charming and sunny, that people will admire you in spite of it." Ha!
