I was thinking of what my next costume would be and I came to an
interesting question.
What would be
Aargh! I'm 5'3 and I can't wear more than 3 heels without
seriously killing my feet. Mind you I do have small feet. In 3

An interesting tidbit is the derivation of scarlet as shorn cloth
(ie. a fulled and shorn woolen cloth) on pg 19.

And that was why it was an interesting tidbit... since no mention
was made of other theories. This was surprising with a person of
these credentials. It is a survey work, but it makes one wonder what

Wow, that really does look like goldwork, in the closeup of the skirt
recently posted. Having done a wee bit of that myself, the mind boggles at
the amount of time it would take to do that much of it! Though it would
take even longer to embroider it in silks.

Interpreting means, roughly, making the physical aspects of the
historic site meaningful to visitors. For example, at Sutter's Fort
we have a reproduction of a farm wagon that was used in the 1840s to
move to California from Missouri. I like to tell people that it is
the 1840's moving van.
I'm reminded of coming across a 1940's newspaper clipping that shorts were
being banned in some small Ontario town (which shall remain nameless in its

centre specialist there.
Laugh, I thought I'd die. That edict
Treat it like a real interview. Dress nicely, speak intelligently but politely.
