Mr. Kaatskill from the Catskills

Greetings from the Catskills, Mr. Kaatskill.

This postcard has an address on the back, but was never mailed.  The date written on the front is 1906. I hope "Frisky" liked it when he was shown the postcard.  :D

The Hugh C. Leighton Co. is the manufacturer.  It was printed in Germany, No 2336.

The Shar Pei or Chinese Shar-Pei is a breed of dog known for its distinctive features of deep wrinkles and a blue-black tongue. The breed comes from China.

As puppies, Shar Pei have numerous wrinkles, but as they mature, these wrinkles disappear as they "grow into their skin". Shar Pei were once named as one of the world's rarest dog breeds by Time magazine and the Guinness Book of World Records, and the American Kennel Club did not recognize the breed until 1991.

Extra Large Hat with Feathers

Her hat may not, indeed, adorn her,
But it helps her keep man in a corner.

I love this postcard!  It looks like it is the top of a greeting card that someone cut off and made a postcard out of it.

Lucy is concerned with Ricky's behavior while they eat breakfast. He reads the newspaper and never answers any of her questions. He doesn't even notice when she leaves the room.

Ethel, seeing Lucy is upset, tries to offer advice by recommending a book: How to Keep the Honeymoon from Ending by Dr. Humphries. Ethel reads to Lucy who can't believe how accurate the book is. Following the book's idea Lucy decides to dress up and look glamorous for Ricky tomorrow.

Wearing an evening gown with her hair and makeup perfect, Lucy greets Ricky only to find no difference in his behavior.

Chapter two of the book suggests that Lucy join in Ricky's hobbies. Lucy decides to join Ricky and Fred in their poker game. Unwittingly, Lucy keeps winning. First with a full house and then with a "pair" of a six and nine. The result was an angry Ricky who continues to ignore her.

Chapter three suggests that Lucy remind Ricky of his childhood. With Ethel's help, Ricky returns home to find a Spanish decorated apartment with a burro to boot. Remembering that Ricky's mother was a singer and dancer, Lucy performs along with a record of Carmen Miranda. Hilarity ensues when the record speeds up and slows down with Lucy trying to keep up. Ricky convinces her that he loves just the way she is.

A lady with Poison Ivy, Mosquito Bites Sun Burn, and her arm in a sling - it looks like she might have a cold too with that red nose. (He must be sick too ;-)
My question is this, where do you buy a hat like that?  I want one!  :D
