<h2>STAIRS</h2>
<p class="drop-capi">IN A FORMER generation,
women hid their ankles, and
gave brief glimpses of them
only by accident or naughty
design. It was then required
of a gentleman that he should precede a
lady in ascending stairs. To-day, fashion
has cleared away all mystery concerning
feminine ankles, and a gentleman is permitted
to follow the lady as she mounts the
stairs.</p>
