Embedded text or transcriptHow pleasant to be fitted by a woman hatter even if she puts the hat on according to her notions
What an ornament a woman might be outside a restaurant or theatre
"Taxi, sir?"
"Thanks"
As a taxi driver
"I shall go outside with the driver - must get some air"
What a nice, delicate knock she would give as a postman
Instead of the notoriously heavy boots of the plumber, what a delightful change!
And the housepainter's song might be less of a trial if the voice was feminine
Subjectspostmen
painters
plumbers
women workers
role reversal
taxi-cab drivers
millinery
