Havana ?

Though doubtful, I would like to think the fine lady on the right is holding a rebellious havana...

Go Pants!

Even five years earlier, these girls would not have been allowed out of the house in pants. Wearing pants allowed an entirely new world of experiences for girls -- like playing in the snow. The things we take for granted.

Those flared breeches are what interest this horseman. They were ubiquitous in the 20s and 30s, but today are seen only on state troopers and S&M costumes.

If I could write the beauty of your eyes,
And in fresh numbers number all your graces,
The age to come would say this poet lies,
Such heavenly touches ne'er touched earthly faces.
