When Hiram Powers, the great sculptor, was in this country, he once attended an elegant party, and was observed watching very intently a beautifully dressed, fashionable woman. A friend, noticing his interest, said to him, "What an elegant figure she has, hasn't she?" "Well, said Powers, "I was wondering where she put her liver." - What a Young Woman Ought to Know, 1898

Hi Hannah,
I found this quote in a delightful little book called "Keeping Hearth and Home in Old Alabama". It was compiled and edited by Carol Padgett. It is so fun!
By His grace, and for His glory,
