An Englishman enters the alien feminine world of a French women's dress shop, and encounters a woman dressed in an exaggerated poufy dress and towering elaborate hat that leaves him exclaiming in astonishment. The caption reads: "Hope I don't intrude-Just look'd in to see the new style - left my umbrella in the corner -- Prodigious!!!" Surrounding them are displays of similarly over-the-top fashions, caricaturing the styles of the day.
