Chic,
These are indeed three beautiful circus women from the past. Just stunning. I am curious though, about the "simple instructions on page 14." Were women that much different back then, that men needed a guide book?

Sorry Wade but I don't know how

to go back to look at page 14

However my general belief is that

they are no different & we have

always needed a guide book
