From The girl with the green eyes by Clyde Fitch

Oh, my dear, worse than that! It reminds me of a man at home who kept an underclothing store in our principal street and had a plaster cast of this gent's brother, I should think, in his window to show a suit of Jaegers on,--you know, a "combination"! And our Town Committee of Thirteen for the moral improvement of Peoria made the man take it out of his window and hang the suit up empty! (JINNY: Poor man!) You ought to see our Park!--you know we've got a perfectly beautiful park,--and all the men statues wear Prince Alberts, and stand like this-- (She poses with lifted arm at right angle to body.) --as if they were saying, "This way out" or "To the monkey cage and zoo." (JINNY: But the women statues?) My dear! They only have heads and hands; all the rest's just clumps of drapery--we only have "Americans" and "Libertys," anyway. They apply the Chinese emigration law to all Venuses and sich ladies! [ (They both laugh.)
