This is an excerpt from an oral history given by Florence Arnold, who grew up in Chicago in the 1920s. My mother was not very contemporary. She was very rigid and so my older sister and I were brought up according to very strict lines of deportment. We were never to flirt with anyone or wear too much makeup. We were to dress modestly, and we were never to be seen anywhere that ladies did not belong, which was just about everywhere. But my sister defied all of that. She was a flapper. The day my sister came home with bobbed hair, my mother took one look at her and retired to the couch with her smelling salts to keep from fainting.
