Label TextArthur Fuller illustrated a wide range of fiction and magazine covers. Here a chauffeur (the narrator) speaks with his employer, who embodies all he dislikes about the modern women: "...her hair slicked...her stockings rolled down and her skirts shortened up...her own bootlegger... She was a bad little egg."
