Speaking Volumes

Last Friday night the Library was taken back in time with the outstanding performance of Kandie Carle in a program titled from Corset to Gloves. Ms. Carle, a charming lady, explained the dress of 1860 from ratting one’s hair to ‘buttoning’ one’s shoes. We learned how tortoises are coaxed to give up their shells for accessories and the REAL reason why so many carried smelling salts. We watched and learned as Ms. Carle went from petticoats to cape and muff. It was fascinating.

 We definitely thank Ms. Carle for her performance and recommend all who get the opportunity to be sure to see her!
