1961: ‘Thanking’ the hostess

Anton clearly feels at home with these ‘black tie’ events. The speaker is addressing her husband who is only thinking of the hostess. Looking carefully at the scene I am not sure that she is at all keen on this display.

Impossibly small feet and impossibly high heels again.

There will now be an interval of about a week after which normal service will return.

Re: The Pages of Punch

Re: The Pages of Punch

Normal service has now been resumed.

1961: The dogs or the biscuits?

Her dogs certainly are assorted. Anton is showing many breeds. We can’t see if the customer has small feet because the dogs are in the way.

Welcome back Mr. M - I've missed your posts.

I'm intrigued as to what the `Dogs Stripped` notice in the cartoon means.

Re: The Pages of Punch

Google shows innumerable offers for devices for ‘stripping’ dogs. It is simply a grooming tool to remove untidy excess fur. I don’t know why they call it stripping.

1948: An uncomfortable discovery

This is (I understand) every woman’s worst nightmare. Having taken the trouble to dress in a distinctive style they are both appalled at this discovery. The hostess seems quite unconcerned.

The choice of footwear remains the same. The hostess is far too old for these impossibly high heels.
