Date: May 1919
Fluffy Ruffles
Composer: George Hamilton Green
Fluffy Ruffles was a popular comic strip.
From Linda Ocasio’s blog.
“She was all the rage in 1907–1908. Young women wanted to dress like her, musicians of the day composed songs about her and there was even a Broadway musical about her adventures.
…
Poor Fluffy discovers that her inheritance has fallen through. Each week she tries her hand at something different: dance instructor, sales girl in a millinery shop, child care, even teaching bridge. But all of her efforts fail in the same way: a flock of men gather to ogle, chat and flirt, making it impossible for her to do her job. She is either dismissed by her overwhelmed employer, or resigns in frustration.”
