Hello the list. My attention was first drawn to this headline in a local (Stratford, CT) paper because of the faulty possessive noun and the interesting choice of singular verb. BUT my attention was then rewarded by realizing that this sports headline manages to use two words (out of a total of five) that also are items of women's historical costume. So I thought you would all enjoy pondering this:
"STRATFORD GIRLS HOOPS STAYS UNBEATEN" For those of you unfamiliar with American sports lingo, the Girls' Basketball Team of Stratford High School continues its winning streak. --Ruth Anne Baumgartner scholar gypsy and amateur costumer _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
