Pre-War Bloomer Girl

This should 'splainit...

A pre-war bloomer girl was probably a derogatory reference toward a tease. The ladies in the factories of the day wore the coveralls pictured here. They were called Bloomers because they resembled late, late 1800's style ladies underwear. On a side note; I wonder what that doughboy is holding in his right hand with that wry smile?

Oh, wait. It's a cannon lanyard.

Or she was a baseball player in the latter half of the 1800's...

Or maybe Bettie was being called Roger Hornsby?

I dunno.
