Mrs. Acks

I look at the determined profile of this woman and try to imagine her in modern clothing, a dark suit.
The floral dress ages her. Old people dressed like old people back then. I wonder how old she was when this was taken.
I think of my own mother, in her 70s, wearing jeans. And how she doesn't seem 72 like my grandmother did.
