A “bearer” carrying his mistress’s pith hat, because it is after 4 P.M. when the sun’s danger is over. Shoes because outdoors. No socks. As stupid as all the rest. We are on our 4th, the best yet. The “bearer” packs up and when one is visiting often includes the hostess’s bed linen, blankets, and towels, only to transfer them later to his own luggage! Hence hostesses now don’t provide these for guests [portrait of man in traditional clothing posed in front of backdrop]
