Betsy Butterfly in "The Friendly Stranger"

Of course, anyone so beautiful as Betsy Butterfly was bound to attract attention. Wherever she went people turned their heads if they could to look at her. And those whose heads were so fastened to their bodies that they simply couldn't crane their necks at anybody even those unlucky creatures wheeled themselves about in order to gaze at Betsy.

If they happened to be ladies they stared at her because they wanted to see what was the latest style in gowns, or maybe hats.
