A fashion item says, "The drawers this year are made very short, and some
have lace ruffles." Some fashion reporter has evidently been looking over
our back fence at the clothes line. But they got awfully fooled. The
shortness of those drawers was caused by the flannel shrinking and the
"lace ruffles" the reporter noticed is where a calf chewed them when they
were hanging out to dry last fall on Black Hawk Island, when a gun kicked
us out of a boat. Some of these fashion reporters think they are smart.
