The Cover
- Ah, the lighthearted, light everything-else years when Mrs. Portleigh was constructed like that! The Size 12 on her dress form means she was perfection embodied—or would you prefer a 10 or a 14? To make a rock her size nowadays, first the lady would have to wrap a quilt around the dummy. Maybe she will elect to use her head instead of her digestion, embrace a diet, and emaciate herself just enough to be lovely. But alas, she may lack the gumption; she seems wistful, and adjective Mr. Webster defines as “evincing yearning with little expectation of gratification.” Amos Sewell borrowed that dress form in Westport, Connecticut, walked to his car with it under his arm, and nobody gave him a raspberry. In artist colonies people evidently become shockproof.
