I’m leaning against the drugstore window, my bobbed hair tucked tight under a felt cloche while the neon signs start to flicker in the autumn dusk. The old man next to me is grumbling over the paper about how "Clegg Sees Danger in Ship Contract" and some Harriman-Hamburg plan favoring the Germans, but I think his political caterwauling is total applesauce.
I’m much more interested in the beaded silk shimmying in the department store display than some dry Jones Ship Law. If I can scrape together enough dough for those T-strap heels, I'll be the cat’s pajamas at the dance tonight when the band finally strikes up "Whispering."
