This is one of our good Sundays.\u00a0 Preacher’s son in a respectable suit.\u00a0 Preacher’s daughter in a cotton print.\u00a0 New baby…they’ll get to her soon.
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nHere comes summer in the Deep South, early 1950’s.\u00a0 Daddy in white dress shirt and tie, double-breasted seersucker suit.\u00a0 Panama hat.\u00a0 Polished shoes. Leslie Ray wanting nothing more than one of those suits for himself.\u00a0 He was still in his old gabardine. He liked dressing up and wasn’t interested in everyday clothes.<\/p>\n
Cotton was what kids in our town wore to school.\u00a0 Nicely faded shirts on farm boys, girls in prints, some made from flour sacks, others from the yard goods store in Courthouse Square.\u00a0 Everybody looked alike.\u00a0 We started out fine in our new school and then Mother got restless.<\/p>\n
She was a creative insomniac.\u00a0 At night she wrote songs.\u00a0 She painted.\u00a0 She baked risin’ bread and clover leaf rolls.\u00a0 She sewed. After she invented her famous plastic and nylon net corsages and sewed up all the clingy jersey dresses her closet could hold, she turned her attention to us.\u00a0 We’d been down this road before, roped into her projects, protesting all the way.\u00a0 Daddy was exempt because a Southern Preacher dressed a certain way and that was that.<\/p>\n
Mother announced she’d bought some McCall’s patterns for boys’ shirts and girls’ dresses.\u00a0 She put them together with slippery, man-made fabric in big flowered prints and sent us off to school, me wearing an unusual dress with loads of trim and my brother in a short-sleeved flowered shirt with fancy shaped pockets. We hated those clothes. We didn’t want to be polyester kids in an all-cotton world.<\/p>\n
My brother was quick with a solution. His new shirt didn’t remain intact even one full day.\u00a0 He came home with both pockets dangling and some flimsy (to my ear) story about how it happened.\u00a0 I was jealous I hadn’t thought of a way to injure my new dress. Playing tag at school soon did it. One sash pulled right out of the back and before going home, I helped the other one rip. I put on a sad face when I revealed the damage. \u00a0Mother said,<\/p>\n
“You won’t be getting any more pretty dresses like that one, missy.”<\/p>\n
And to my brother,<\/p>\n
“What were you thinking, playing rough like that in your good shirt?”<\/p>\n
Our reprieve came when we learned we were getting us a baby. Gramma K came back down South from California to stay a while.\u00a0 She was an expert seamstress, with her own peculiar tastes in children’s clothes. The baby arrived and immediately Sister Fern and Gramma K started their competitive back and forth about what the baby would wear. Though\u00a0 both designed original garments, their output was nothing you’d want to see on an infant. Here’s a scene from The Glory Road:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mother was confined to bed. <\/strong>Church people immediately adopted our baby as their own. The Women’s Missionary Council made baby blankets and quilts with thousands of tiny stitches.\u00a0 They chose pink and jonquil colored flannel and sewed it into soft gowns and they prepared the baby for her attendance at future church services by trimming the smallest dresses I had ever seen with embroidery and crocheted edgings.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 These women who looked after their own husbands and families and kept clean houses and cooked three meals a day and worked in the garden too, also produced exquisite handwork and with their investment of time, they rendered the start of a new life profound.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Their work was so delicate, it was like Cinderella’s ball gown in the movie. Disney creatures brought Cinderella’s dress to life, all of it removed from reality, with fantasy embellishments drifting into place. \u00a0That’s how beautiful our baby’s new wardrobe was. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Churchwomen came over and stayed to talk with Gramma K , who appeared at the kitchen table wearing full makeup and flashy jewelry and her California clothes.\u00a0 Sister Coker was the voice for all the other churchwomen, and she enjoyed a special relationship with Mother.\u00a0 Nothing Mother did or said seemed to bother her, and vice versa. Sister Coker assured Gramma the Jones baby would want for nothing.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In our church, babies were dedicated, but not sprinkled. The water was saved for later. By age 12, which was considered the Age of Reason, there would be full-immersion baptizing in a nearby creek.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There was talk of the women making a special dress for the dedication. Gramma got her dander up.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “I believe I’m capable of making what my grandbaby will wear.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sister Coker, experienced with the opinions of strong women, put on her most reasonable tone.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “Oh Miz Kalbaugh, we thought with all you have to do…”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “Yes, I am busy…”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gr<\/strong>amma was in charge now.\u00a0 <\/em>
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0“…so I guess we could put our heads together and come up with something…”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “Oh having your help will be such a blessing!”\u00a0 Sister Coker beamed as if she had all the time in the world and nothing would give her greater pleasure than to come over to our house and soothe the two high-strung women in residence.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Daddy would say the prayers of dedication over his infant, and Mother, when she got well enough, would stand in front of the congregation holding our new baby, the way it had been done forever.\u00a0 Sister Booty said,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “Maybe we should wait on the dedication until Sister Fern feels better and let her decide about the dress.\u00a0 Lord knows she’s so artistic, she might already have something in mind.”<\/strong><\/em>
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mother sent word out from the bedroom that she would be happy for the church’s assistance with the dedication dress. She did have a preference. She wanted the dress made of dotted swiss, the softest they could find, on a pastel colored background.\u00a0 If the yard goods store had only the stiffer kind of dotted swiss, would the women please soak it in Ivory Snow first to soften it?\u00a0 And could they make a little slip of lawn to wear underneath, and trim it with grosgrain ribbon to match the dotted swiss?\u00a0 No sooner were her wishes expressed than the women were on their way to turning them into reality.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nFrom her bedroom and with the help of the women in our congregation, Mother began designing clothes for the baby like nothing she’d made before.\u00a0 They were beautiful and appropriate.\u00a0 Our baby had a few years ahead of looking good until Sister Fern regained her full strength.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
