FROM THE PRESIDENT
T
his month, I would like to share
with you a letter that I received
from a member.
The letter states: “Last Saturday, June
21, my husband and I hosted a Surprise
Birthday Party for our youngest son. It was
held in the Maryland Room and the outside
deck. The entire evening was nothing but
perfection, from the way it was set up to
everyone who helped in the affair.
It was very easy and pleasurable
working with your Catering Director,
Debbie Lamb and her Associate, Renee
Russell. Debbie did a first-class
arrangement of every detail, offering
valuable suggestions, from the menu, hors
d' oeuvres, music, table cloths, to timing on
how the evening should proceed. Everyone
who helped in this event; the servers, the
bartender, Scott, were excellent. All of this
being overseen by Mr. Clayton Bloomfield,
who, as usual, was superb.
Everyone remarked on how delicious
the food was, and I saw nothing but empty
plates. Your Chef must be complimented on
the sumptuous dinner he prepared.
It was a delightful evening, and the
Kenwood setting enhanced it so. Thank you
for making it so memorable for everyone.
All the improvements that have been done
to Kenwood were certainly apparent”.
Sincerely,
A Kenwood Member (Name Withheld)
I hope you and your family are having
a fun summer at Kenwood.

BILL’S CORNER
e are now officially half
way through the year
would you believe, or as
my daughter said “six months until
Christmas!” Whichever way you look at it,
time does fly by, faster than we think. We
all get caught up in the day-to-day things,
and the next thing we know half the year
has gone. We went from “when is this
winter going to be over” to two weeks of
spring and now this unbearable heat. I
realize that you sun worshipers are
enjoying this, but it’s not for me.
I am pleased to introduce a new
member of staff to you all, Ms. Renee
W
Russell, Assistant Catering Director. I have
had the pleasure of working with Renee
before, many moons ago at my previous
Club. You will find her to be
knowledgeable and professional. She has a
wonderful out going personality and will
prove to be a great addition to Kenwood.
You may have noticed that we now
have a “Reservation Line” for all events. So
if you are unable to access the Web, where
you can make all your reservations for any
Club events, you may use the Reservation
Line. As many of us spend some time at
our computers each day, it is very easy to
make reservations on line.
Our 80th Anniversary party is moving
along and in next month’s magazine we
should have all the details worked out
along with the advertising; so keep the date
free, Saturday, September 27th 2008.
We have marked a new cross walk
from the Fitness Center to the Outdoor
Pool, so please drive with caution this time
of year, as we have many excited children
exiting cars heading to the out door pool.
Have a fun-filled and safe summer.
See you around the Clubhouse.
Bill Worrell
Club Manager ★
The CCSDA Championships will be held at
Kenwood this Year. The event will
occur over a three-day period,
Monday, July 28, Tuesday, July 29 and
Wednesday, July 30. Minimal parking will be available, and
we ask that you please plan your day/days accordingly.
During this time, you may use
the pool at Bethesda Country Club
or Chevy Chase Country Club.
Thank you for your cooperation
in this matter.

KGA
By Bob Ott
T
he month of May was a very
successful month for the KGA.
We had two great golf
tournaments and our B Team got off to a
successful start.
The first of our three Member-Guest
Tournaments was held on Friday, May 2.
As I noted last month, we moved this event
from Saturday morning to Friday afternoon
in an attempt to increase participation and
that change seems to have worked very
well. Bill Hall managed the event and did a
wonderful job. The weather was
outstanding and we had a nice dinner after
the event. The competition was very
intense. On the gross side, Jack Read and
his guest Jack Rushing won on a match of
cards over Mark Handwerger and his guest
Brad Love. Both teams had a gross best
ball score of 72. On the net side, Michael
Prestiss and his guest John Treires won
with a net best ball score of 61. Bill Hall
and his guest Bill Myslinski took second
with a net score of 64, and Steve Saxon and
his guest Vincent Burke took third with a
score of 65. Five teams tied for fourth
place, all with a net score of 66. These
teams were: Phil Parker and his guest Jack
Katz, Jim Guidera and his guest Joel
Eisemann, David Kelly and his guest Leo
Miller, Bill Hall and his guest Ken
Baseman, and Jim Leslie and his guest
Steve Piran. Closest to the pin were Pete
Havenstien (member) and David Wray
(guest). Longest drives were Jack Read
(member) and Jeff Edwards (guest). To
inaugurate our refurbished putting green,
we also had a putting contest following the
event. Keeping with the theme of close
matches, Nick Park and his guest David
Wray edged out Bernie Nunez and his
guest in a playoff.
The KGA Board of Governors
Tournament was held on May 17-18 and
consisted of a championship flight and two
additional flights. This is a match play
event, where the players in each flight play
nine-hole matches, except that the finals in
the championship flight are 18 holes. The
winner of the championship flight was
Chris Mortimer, who beat Jack Read in the
final. Tom Paci was the consolation winner
in the championship flight, with Dave
Markey taking the runner up position in the
consolation round. The first flight winner
was Nick Park, who beat Paul Mogin in the
final. The consolation winner for the first
flight was Bill Hall and the consolation
runner up was Tink Alexander. The second
flight was won by Pete Havenstein, who
beat Dick Crone in the final. George
Donkin took the consolation round in this
flight, beating Dave Ward.
Kenwood’s B Team won its first match
of the season against Crofton Country Club
on May 3. This match was very close with
Kenwood winning by a score of 91⁄2 to 81⁄2
score. Kenwood picked up six points in the
home matches with the team of Scott
Mortimer and Bob Cullen and the team of
Chris Huebner and Dave Kelly both
winning three points. Dave Markey and
John Phillips won 1⁄2 point in their away
match. The key to Kenwood’s victory,
however, was the great play of Nick Park
and Jim Guidera, who won all three points
in their away match. As I have mentioned
in the past, away matches are tough. Our
opponent usually reserves its best players
for the matches at its course, and they know
their own course much better than the
visiting team does. Winning all three points
in an away match is a considerable
achievement. Congratulations!
We have two tournaments scheduled
for July. The first event is the Weekday
Afternoon Member-Member/MemberGuest, which will be held on the afternoon
of Thursday, July 17 with a 1 pm shotgun
start. This is a two-man team event,
consisting of either two members or a
member and a guest. Members can invite
up to three guests and play as a separate
team with each guest. The format will be
the best ball of each team. Players with
multiple guests will have their score count
for each team. Prizes will be awarded for
low gross and low net scores. An awards
ceremony with a dinner and member bar
will follow the event. This is a very popular
event and a relatively inexpensive way to
invite your guests for an afternoon round of
golf at Kenwood. Sign up early!
The other July tournament is the
Pinehurst Scotch Two-Man Team Event,
which will be held on July 26. As the name
suggests, this event is also a two-man team
event. Under the Pinehurst Scotch format,
each team member hits his drive and the
team members then alternate shots until the
hole is finished. This is the second year for
this event and it proved to be very popular
last year. I apologize again to my partner
from last year for leaving my putter in the
bag on the 17th hole when he had a two
foot putt left. I went back and got the putter
when I realized it was needed. ★
Lost personal items will be held at the Clubhouse
front desk for 30 days. Items left longer than 30
days will be donated to Goodwill.

KWGA
By Ann Ittner
T
he ladies golf season is in full
swing with lots of activity. I am
writing this the day before the
major event of the season - the MemberGuest. It will kick off with a putting contest
on Tuesday night. This is a new event and
has been well subscribed. A full report of
these events will be proffered in the next
newsletter.
The Kenwood Women’s District Golf
Association team placed third in the 2008
matches just missing second by 2 points.
Kaye Mopsik was the captain and team
members were Carolyn Clewell, Harriet
Moss, Judy Perry, Dana Peterson and
Theresa Shingler. Subs were Ann Ittner and
Sally Seawright. Good work team for all
your efforts.
In MPG matches Division II, under
the able leadership of Betty Churchill,
placed second losing by only 1⁄2 a point. In
Division III, captained by Livia Johnson,
there is still one more match. Stay tuned on
this one. Again, good efforts ladies.
The KWGA Working Women’s event
was called because of rain. Many signed up

to play in this Sunday event and a few
hearty souls played nine holes until it really
started to pour. Bonny Gordon and Joan
Perrin were co-chairing the event. Next up

The Memorial Day Ringer Tourney
was won by Mary Woodford, second, Sarah

Please, lets have a good turnout for these
events. And the Board of Governors is on

One golf story to end this epistle. I
was playing in a Mixed Member-Guest at
Talbot Country Club in Easton and on the
last par 3 hole, we had a 39 foot downhill
putt. We all had a chance at it in a scramble
format. I offered to buy my partner a drink
if he sank it, and of course he did. The
other two putted and missed and then I
putted with an offer of a drink also and I
sank the putt. The rest of the day, believe
me, was not memorable.

A
fter the season-opening
events in April and early
May, the Kenwood
Seniors’ schedule of events continued at the
always-rapid pace.
On May 21, the Kenwood Seniors
traveled across the Potomac to the

On May 28, the Seniors traveled to

this compact track were:
1ST (tie) - ED REIDY, net 114!

want equal space regarding their great
shots.)
On June 3, the Seniors hosted

Special congratulations: to Jim, for his
Dutton Trophy win (his recent play is on a
new level); to Mike, one of our newer
Seniors, for his fine play to garner the
runner-up spot: and to Cris, for his fine low
gross finish!
Regarding Cris’s play in the Dutton,
Bob Rudy files this noteworthy report: on
#16, Cris’s tee shot cleared the creek by
about 30 yards (into #17 fairway); he then
hit his second shot over the tall pines to
within 10 feet of the pin on 16 and sank the
4TH - JIM KASAB, 126
5TH - TINK ALEXANDER & BOB

with its stately clubhouse overlooking the
hills of Frederick. The following Seniors
met the challenge and drove their

3RD - DERWIN KIM (again?), 120
On May 29, the Kenwood Seniors

NINERS
By Anne Marie Albertine
T
he glorious hot, sunny days of
summer are finally with us! And
they’ve arrived in super strength
with record breaking temperatures and that
special brand of DC humidity! But the
Niners are not deterred! The June schedule
is loaded with special events and lots of
new opportunities for golf instruction!
The Azalea Bowl is underway and the
first round of matches will feature perennial
prize winner and designer extraordinaire,
Ruth Crone and me!! This is my first foray
into the dream competition and I fear it will
be a short one! But I will never have a
chance to win that beautiful bowl if I don’t
take the plunge! And this will afford our
readers an insider’s view of the intense
competition—I can’t wait to report the
results!
Some exciting results from May
include those Niners who “beat the Pro”
during our May scholarship tournament.
Proceeds will go to fund additional study
for our assistant Pros Geoff Montross and
Kyle Trent. The Pro to beat was Lynn

Hunter and her score was 38. Sailing way
out in front was Birney Saunders with an
impressive 34 followed by Gayle Bauer
with a 35. Karen Degerberg, Edee Perry,
Heidi Crawford and Libba Culp gathered
round the score of 36, while Ruth Crone
and Andrea Casson finished with 37. That’s
eight Niners who “beat the Pro”—these are
ladies to watch over the summer—I’m sure
they’ll be winning more of our prizes!
Specials kudos to Gayle Bauer and her
3rd Place finish in the Club’s Twilight
Tournament on May 31st. We’re proud of
her and very proud to have a Niner finish
so impressively!
And thanks to Gayle for her report of
our May winner for lowest putts: Libba
Culp with a 13! Congratulations Libba!

The Pro’s Corner by Christopher Hoey
Tennis Tip: Volleys
One of the things I most enjoy about
sports is watching a player who is under
pressure, tired, and behind in the match,
that still has the ability to relax and swing
smoothly without tension. When players
are tense, they tend to tighten their grip
which directly affects the quality of their
swing and their shots. Holding your racket
too tightly will cause you to lose control
when hitting the tennis ball and you will
not be able to sustain a good long match
with a tight grip. Your muscles will fatigue
quickly and your game will in turn fade.
Using a scale of 0-5, 0 is not holding
the racket, and 5 is squeezing it as tightly
as possible, you should try to hold the
racket at a 1 or 2 when you volley. The
tighter you hold the racket, the less the ball
will move. The looser you hold the racket,
the easier it will be to bounce on the
strings. Try this during the impact of your
next volley and you will see how effortless
it really is.

Outdoor tennis courts are available on
a first-come, first-served basis except for
courts reserved by the Tennis Committee

up for 1 hour for singles and 11⁄2 hours for
doubles. Please check visually for
unoccupied HarTru courts before bumping
fellow members. When there is a waiting
list for courts, a player may list their name
in the center of the board, although their
partner/opponent has not yet arrived. When
the player’s name arrives at the top of the
list, he must be ready to start play
immediately, or his name goes to the
bottom of the list. The player may not take
the court and wait for their partner/
opponent on the court. The name on the top
of the list must take the first court available
or go to the bottom of the list. When
leaving a court, please erase your time.
At Chris Furnas’ discretion, during the
outdoor season, courts 1-4 (indoor) and 1419 (outdoor) are available to adults and

s of this writing, Summer Bowling has been underway for a week. We
have a full house of happy bowlers, and twelve of us met for a light meal
before the season began. We are quite pleased with the new, shiny
bowling balls in Kenwood colors of orange and black, introduced by Mike O'Flahavan for
the first time on Wednesday night for our league.
We welcome Jim and Dale Kasab, Carol O'Flahavan, Kit Hanlon and Julia Hudson,
who used to bowl in previous years and also two new bowlers from Congressional
Country Club, Gayle Brown and Helen Toomey. These new ladies bowled up a storm
and our own Mickey Hubbard had a Turkey (three strikes in a row) with a high game of
144! Jim Kasab and Walt Props are off to a great start too, with highs in all categories
for the gentlemen. Our averages will change weekly so anything could happen for any of
us. There are three teams in first place, having won all their games the first night: Cecila
Tibery with Steven DeVol and Walt Propps; Carol O'Flahavan with Gayle Brown and
Helen Toomey; Kitty Layne with Mary Frances Havenstein and Julia Hudson. ★
BOWLING ALLEY CLOSURE
The Bowling Alley will be closed until September 12
except for Summer Bowling.

MIXED EVENTS
By Jim Leslie
T
he first Mixed Twilight of the season was held on a beautiful evening –
Friday May 30th. The good weather brought golfers out in large numbers.
There were a total of 51 players and a good time was had by all.
The event was contested using the low two net scores on each hole.
Winners, with a score of 57 only after a match of cards that went to the last three
holes, were Marcia and Derwin Kim, Mary Woodford and Jim Kasab. Second place was
taken by Susan and Ken Pepper, Theresa Shingler and Jim Evans. In third place at 62
(note five behind the leading two scores so the first two teams were “hot”) were Gayle
and Bill Bauer and Connie and Horace Bernton.
The next mixed event is the Member Guest on Sunday July 20th. #

SWIM & DIVE
By Monica Barry
ell, the heat of summer
certainly hit us hard here
at Kenwood in June. The
chilly week before Memorial Day weekend
lead into scorching temperatures for June.
The coaches did not even have one “Polar
Bear” workout! Everyone wants to be in
the pools!
The winners of the “First-in-the-Pool”
contest are Jack Myers (Diving pool),
Timmy Barry (North pool), Connor
McGarrity (Baby pool) and Alex Johnson
(First Adult in the pool). Alex braved the
cold temps of Memorial Day weekend to
train for the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Swim
on the weekend of June 8. He finished the
swim in a little over 2 hours and was about
300th out of more than 600 swimmers! His
training as a former KCC swimmer surely
helped him to a great swim!
As this goes to press, over 200
swimmers and divers are registered for
one or both of our programs. The
Developmental Team alone has over 65
swimmers alone! The future success of our
teams is secure with so many talented
young athletes. Practices are in full swing
and the meet schedule is busy. Please be
sure to refer to the Orange Calendar for
dates, times and locations of our many
evening competitions.

Members should be aware that
Kenwood will act as host for the 2008

days and there will be a delayed opening on
August 1 to ensure proper clean up from
the event. There will also be some bleacher
construction and visiting team practices on
Sunday, July 27. The pools will be open on
July 27. Kenwood members do have
reciprocity privileges at Bethesda and
Chevy Chase Country Clubs during the
CCSDA competitions. Please call ahead for
pool hours.
For those of you who may want to
step up your swimming workouts, there is a
Masters swimming program available to
members through the end of July at the
outdoor pool. Workouts are conducted by
the Kenwood coaching staff on Monday,
Wednesday and Fridays until August 1
from 6 to 7:30AM. Please see Robert Smith
or Chris Lynch for more details.
As the weather heats up and members
head for the shade, please be careful of the
shade umbrellas placed throughout the pool
areas. If a member wishes to have an
umbrella adjusted, opened or closed, please
see a member of the lifeguard staff for
assistance. The umbrellas are expensive and
management has requested that members
not adjust them themselves.
This month is a packed with activities
almost every day. There will always be lap
lanes available for lap swimming on
competition nights. Please check the
schedule for indoor and outdoor lap
swimming times.
Kenwood Swimming will look to
defend its league title this year and the

FROM THE FITNESS CENTER
By Vicki Stewart
T
rying to discern what is fact and
what is fiction when it comes to
exercise can be overwhelming.
Infomercials, magazine articles,
advertisements….they can lead you to
believe something is factual when research
has proven it to be false. Here are a few
misconceptions vs the facts we get from
exercise science.
MYTH: Women need different strength
training exercises so their muscles don’t
bulk up.
FACT: The same exercises that
strengthen and tone muscles are used to
increase muscle size. The bodybuilder next
to you at the gym might be doing the same
bicep curl exercise, but the bodybuilder will
use a really heavy weight.
Most women will not bulk up, because
they lack enough testosterone, even when
they lift a heavier weight. Heavier weight
builds muscular strength (which elicits size
increases, mostly in men), and lower
weight performed with more repetitions
builds muscular endurance.
So essentially, the exercises are the
same. Women in most cases will just lift
lighter weights. Lastly, exercising using a
heavier weight can help bulk up our bones,
and this is a good thing!
MYTH: The right exercise will get rid
of my belly, or remove the floppy fat on the
back of our arms.
FACT: The right exercise will spot
strengthen/shape a body area, but it will not
spot-reduce overlying fat. Unless you
combine enough additional aerobic exercise
and eat to lose weight, specifically fat
weight, then your newly toned abs and
arms will not show definition. This is
especially important for women to
understand, since there really is no such
thing as spot reducing.
What you will generally see as a result
of weight loss and toning, is a leaner look
in our leaner areas first, not the place we
want it off the most! We all have areas of
body fat that are higher than others. For
some it’s in the hips/tush/thighs and others
it is abs or back fat. Unfortunately since
you have more fat to lose there, it takes
longer to see the results. And typically
these “pocket areas of fat” are partially
genetically determined (sorry!).
MYTH: Different exercises shorten or
elongate muscles.
FACT: Our muscle length is genetically
determined. All exercises contract muscles
which briefly shorten them. What might
tighten or shorten over time and with age
are actually your tendons and connective
tissues & joints. So, classes such as Yoga,
Pilates and even heavy weight lifting can
keep your tendons more elastic, relax your
muscles (which mentally feel good) and
help keep your joints and muscles from
stiffening. They will not however
“lengthen/elongate” your muscles. Muscle
length is genetically determined and you
are born with that!
These are just a few of the many
myths out there! So if you feel confused, or
want to know what is true, bring your
questions to the fitness center. One of the
certified trainers on staff will be able to
help you get the facts!

FROM THE SPA
By Carrie Corey, Spa Director
S
o many types of massage so
little time! Although there are
many styles of massage you
can be relieved to know that you do not
need to specify what style you would like
for your session. The Kenwood Spa is
staffed by highly trained healthcare
professionals, whose extensive training
provides a wide range of options to address
the varied problems that you may choose to
tackle during your session. Your therapist
has been trained in many styles of
therapeutic work, and I hope the following
descriptions of some of the more popular
styles of bodywork will help you better
understand some of what is available.
Swedish Massage – The most widely
recognized of all styles of massage, Swedish
is a smooth, flowing style that promotes
general relaxation, improved circulation and
range of movement, and relief of muscular
tension. The main strokes are effleurage
(gliding), petrissage (squeezing), tapotement
(beating), vibration (shaking), joint
movements (stretching), and friction (short
deep strokes moving superficial tissue over
deeper). There is typically no focus on
specific work and many refer to this as a
relaxing massage.
Deep Tissue Massage – Probably the
next most popular style and the most widely
requested here at Kenwood. Deep Tissue is a
massage technique that focuses on the
deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to
release the chronic patterns of tension in the
body through slow strokes and deep pressure
on the contracted areas, either following or
going across the fibers of the muscles,
tendons and fascia. It is usually used in
combination with Swedish and is an
extremely effective way of addressing
specific areas pain from acute and chronic
injuries, repetitive stress or postural
malalignment.
Sports Massage – Perfect for a very
active or athletic individual who seeks a
muscle intensive massage. Sports massage
concentrates more on specific areas of the
body and is ideal for active lifestyles to help
relieve discomfort or pain, or to help prepare
for, or recover from activity. Pre-event
massage tends to be focused on warming up
muscle groups that are activity specific (ex.
legs for runners, shoulders and arm for
pitchers), strokes are brisk with stretching
and prepping the muscles by increasing
blood flow. Post-event massage can be
performed immediately following the
activity/event up to hours/days and is
focused on muscle recovery and addressing
ongoing issues particular to the individual.
Myofascial Massage – As the name
suggests myo refers to muscle, and fascial
refers to the connective tissue covering all
muscles, bones, and organs, providing form
and support, giving shape to the body and its
component parts, while providing the
infrastructure or scaffolding for the body.
Myofascial work specifically addresses
muscle and fascial alignment by addressing
restrictions created by scar tissue, injuries,
posture, emotions, immobility, or misuse.
These restrictions result in pain, tension
patterns, and limited range of motion.
Myofascial techniques utilize stretches and
pressure to help restore normal function to
the muscle and fascia and re-alignment of
structures for optimal function. Although
there are styles of myofascial work such as
Rolfing, Structural Integration, Hellerwork
that are dedicated to full sessions of this
focused work, most therapist will
incorporate some techniques into other
styles of massage.
Orthopedic Massage – Also referred
to as Clinical Massage is really a
combination of deep tissue, myofascial and
sports massage to apply very specific
treatment to the patients’ condition based on
a thorough knowledge of anatomy,
physiology and biomechanics of movement.
The therapist uses assessment skills to
properly evaluate the tissues and structures
involved, and addresses through massage,
stretching, or strengthening the most
appropriate combination of modalities to
restore normal function. The patient is
commonly requested to participate in the
treatment by moving during the massage,
being mindful of proper posture and
movement patterns, or adding specific
stretching and/or strengthening exercises to
their routine.
Prenatal / Pregnancy Massage – For
the pregnant woman’s body undergoing
significant physical and psychological
demands and changes over a short time
span, massage is an excellent tool to help
minimize those stressors. A combination of
Swedish and deep tissue massage is adapted
to the needs of the pregnant woman to help
relieve muscle and joint pain, increasing
flexibility, reducing fluid retention, slowing
the progress of varicose veins and relieving
specific aches and pains common with
pregnancy. It is extremely important to work
with a therapist who has specific training in
pregnancy massage to ensure that specific
precautions are taken at various points
during the pregnancy to achieve the most
benefits from the work.
Lymphatic Massage – This gentle
touch therapy promotes health and aids
recovery from certain illnesses. This
powerful, yet subtle technique can reduce or
prevent fluid retention, enhancing the
removal of toxins from body tissues, and
support the immune system.
Seated Chair Massage – Fully clothed
neck, back and shoulder massage for when
you just need a quick fix. Sessions typically
last 10 to 20 minutes and are an excellent
option when time is limited. The chair
massage sessions are a great way to meet the
therapists and experience their work while
getting a better understanding of what
further treatments might be of benefit to
you.
As you can see by the listings above,
there are many options for your massage
session at Kenwood, but do not fear, your
therapist will discuss your current
concerns/problems with you prior to each
session, and based on your medical history,
will provide you with information necessary
to customize the session to meet your
particular needs. Ideally a one hour session
to start, will give the therapist an opportunity
to see what is going on with the whole body
so they can make the best recommendation
to you for future sessions as they relate to
frequency and duration.
We are eager to assist you in both the
treatment and prevention of any problems
you may have or be susceptible to
developing. Remember if you want to share
our therapists expertise with those outside of
Kenwood, you may bring them in as your
guest (for a $15 fee, up to twice per month)
and pay for their services through your
membership. We are staffed and ready to
help, so please take advantage of our
extensive training and experience and
schedule your massage TODAY!
Stay Cool and we hope to see you
soon! ★

Kenwood’s
80th Anniversary Party
LOOKING BACK: A REMARKABLE LADY
By Nancy D. Rudy
T
here have been a few Americans
we have heard of who have been
honored by having their names
immortalized through association with
articles of clothing. Humanitarian and
wealthy hat manufacturer John B. Stetson
was one American whose name became
synonymous with the high-crowned, broadbrimmed hat worn by western cowboys for
over the past hundred years. A San
Francisco trouser tycoon Levi Strauss
became famous when cowboys adopted his
tough, blue denim pants with the pockets
reinforced with shiny cooper rivets. This
was many decades before faded blue jeans
became an indispensable part of the
American wardrobe. Both Stetson and
Strauss grew accustomed to being known
for their links with articles of clothing.
Amelia Jenks Bloomer was known for
her leading role in promoting a muchneeded dress reform for women. Bloomer
was also a committed feminist and
temperance worker and regretted her lasting
connection with the strange-looking pants
that bore her name.
She became a schoolteacher and soon
after met her husband, Dexter C. Bloomer.
Although only 21, Bloomer had already
developed her own feminist philosophy;
their marriage vows excluded any mention
of “obeying”. Shortly after her marriage,
Bloomer began writing editorials for
upstate New York papers. In 1849 she
began a publication of her own, Lily, a
monthly journal devoted to temperance and
literature in protest over the exclusion of
women from the governing organizations
of the NY temperance movement. Over
time, the magazine developed both
professionalism and an increasingly
feminist slant, accepting articles from other
feminist of that time. At its prime, Lily had
a subscription of 6,000, and it remained
successful until Bloomer sold it. The
magazine has been called the first women’s
suffrage journal in the U.S.
In her publication, Bloomer promoted
a change in dress standards for women that
would be less restrictive during regular
activities.
The costume of women should be
suited to her wants and necessities. It
should conduce at once to her health,
comfort and usefulness; and, while it
should not fail also to conduce to her
personal adornment, it should make that
end of secondary importance.
After Elizabeth Smith Miller appeared
wearing a costume she had designed for
herself, Amelia Bloomer publicized this
outfit and her name was quickly connected
with the style. The magazine promoted the
“bifurcated skirt”, a skirt divided into two
parts, designed by Miller but ever after
called “bloomers”. The “Bloomers
costume” was made fun of and became a
sign of extremism. Many women were
intrigued with the idea of getting rid of the
long, heavy skirts and multiple petticoats in
vogue at the time and started wearing
bloomers. After a few years Amelia
Bloomer and her feminist friends stopped
wearing bloomers when they realized that
the notoriety surrounding dress reform was
diverting attention from the real issues of
their cause.
21
Although Amelia Bloomer was never
wholly successful in the dress reform
which has kept her famous, the ideal of the
“sensible women” promoted by Lily
inspired numerous feminists, including
Louisa May Alcott, who clearly addressed
dress reform in Eight Cousins, and
invariably created down-to-earth heroines
struggling to become “sensible women.”
The paper became an active voice for
change in women’s dress, and the
abandonment of restrictive clothing in favor
of shorter skirts and knee-length
undergarments that came to be known as
bloomers.
In 1857 the Bloomers moved to
Council Bluffs, Iowa. Amelia was active in
relief work during the Civil War, and for
the rest of her life remained an ardent
disciple of change. ★
