   • 1869 1月 10, 「The Dress Question」, 出自 Daily Missouri Republican, 卷 XLVII, 期 9, St. Louis, Mo.，頁號 [2]，列號 3:

     If Miss McFlimsey has neat ankles, she can wear short dresses: if she has clumsy ones she can wear a trail; if she is inclined to be (pardon the word) 「scrawny,」 she can indulge in expensive skirts and protuberant 「panniers;」 if inclined to embonpoint, she can discard these and 「gore」 her robes; if her neck and arms are exquisitely moulded, she can undrape their dazzling charms; if bone predominates over plumpitude, she can cover them from the gaze of flying eyes; if she has a disease of the spine, she need not sport 「the Grecian bend;」 if she is unfortunately healthy, she can call in the aid of that modern deformity—and so on, ad infinitum and ad nauseum.
