I have an illustration of three beautiful hats from a 1922 French fashion magazine and the caption is:
"Dans la Tribune des Dames le jour des Drags" What event was these hats worn? If I put in Google "jour des Drags" images come up like equestrian events. Was/Is there an equestrian event called Tribune/ Day of the Drags? I am just guessing...so the French speaking list members, go on...fall off your chair laughing at me. This magazine is really good at providing French and English translations for the fashion image descriptions but only provides French text for the overall topic. I wish I hadn't quit French class in high school. Our local community colleges do not offer French classes. I have gotten very fast typing in French. But I only know what the meaning of some French fashion terms that are common in English. One day, I am going to be able to translate what I have been typing!
