1928 Stormy Weather Flapper Pup!

 "Flapper galoshes" for the Pup, Peter Pan, wire-haired terrier pet of the personal Secretary to President Coolidge  arrived at the White House today attired in "flapper galoshes".  

I don't know about you, but when I think of flappers from 1928 I certainly don't imagine galoshes!!  I wonder if there were flapper styled galoshes???  Let me look around...

OK - Here is what I found.  Galoshes are in the story!  The quote I like from the following NY Times 1922 article is "You feel sort of swashbuckley when you walk...".
