Door To Door Small Children

The zipper is a very common fastener used to
secure all kinds of things, especially clothing.
But the zipper wasn't always around. Before the
zipper was invented, buttons were used in
fastening clothes, and so were hooks and eyes that
had to be fastened manually. When the zipper first

started noticing its convenient applications, and
soon it could be seen everywhere. The zipper
started off as a no...

For many, the bikini season means one thing:
anxiety over what can be done about a body that
has surreptitiously expanded under a winter

School Uniforms Dress Code
888 words
There are many problems facing schools in this
modern age. Some of which are violence, children
worrying about fitting in with a certain crowd,
and the educating of the students. With many

not the homework they were assigned the lack of
education is becoming apparent. I believe that
school uniforms could help stop some of these
problems. Peer pressure, financial strain, and
fears of not fitting in are just some of the
aspects that play into the ove...

The 1920 s, a period that saw dramatic changes in
dress, was perhaps the first modern decade of the
twentieth century. The corseted woman of the

hats, looked as if she came from another world
when compared to the modern woman of the 1920 s.
The result was extreme. Fashionable 1920 s female
body evolved from the elaborately trimmed dress
with its high waist position and ankle length
skirt at the beginning, to the simple, hardly
