Each month Popula features a praiseworthy, fun and fashion lovin' Babe
du Jour.
In this case, the jour in question is about 1935, when Beatrice
Lillie was about 40. This fantastic woman is right out of PG Wodehouse--an
irresistible chanteuse with a heart of gold who wound up a member of the
English aristocracy. Lady Peel's general fabulousness can be judged merely
by the title of her autobiography--Every Other Inch a Lady. |
