“Long ago the children were about 10 years old before they wore shoes.”
Long ago the children were about 10 years old before they wore shoes. They were not like those we have now. The soles of them were made of pork. They had to be very careful not to go near the fire as the soles of them would melt.
The boy's used to wear dresses and bibs until they were about 12 years of age and at that time they started to go to Mass.
The old men and women of the better class used to be beautifully dressed on Sunday. They used to wear pressed flannel petticoats and brown tamin gowns trimmed with velvet.- You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
