Awkward incident in fashionable life

Grafik

Bildunterschrift: The beautiful Mrs. Vavasour Belsize and her lovely sisters stop the way in dire consternation. They had understood that the recpeption at Brabazon Hill would take place in the palatial suite of rooms on the ground-floor, and Mrs. V. B. has come in a skirt of such fashionable tightness that to mount a single step is an impossibility; whereas the ground-floor suite is undergoing alterations and Mrs. Brabazon de Vere Tomkynnes is entertaining her guests up-stairs.
