In our neck of the woods, they called 'em the Gay Nineties...

There was even a bar in Seattle not so long ago with that name, and that theme -- ladies in hoop skirts, gentlemen in toppers. I think in this case gay=naughty -- start of the factory age, before prohibition, a time of growth and optimsm in the U.S. I can just see your grandmother giving you the look that meant mind your own beeswax... Lovely memoir, Kabu.

Reading this makes me wish I had known my great grandfather, who apart from a shrewd buinessman was an adventurer, crossing the Kalahri desert and establishing a trading post in Tansania. I do have some of his letters though, my most treasured possession, now preserved behind glass. Keep telling more.
