A floor to ceiling mirror stands in the formal sitting room. Women in short skirts report a tugging, as if someone were trying to make the skirt longer.

In the formal sitting room of the Dorr House at Pensacola, Florida there is a floor to ceiling mirror.

Women who stand in front of it wearing a short skirt report a tugging at the hem, as though somebody were trying to pull it down to a more decent length.

Visitors and guides both report the smell of fresh cut roses at intervals, followed by something else.

The mirror account is one of the few in this archive that is funny, and it is also one of the most characterful. Whatever is in that room appears to have opinions about how young women should be dressed, and to be acting on them.

The house was built in 1871 for the widow of a lumber merchant, who raised five children in it, and it stands in Pensacola's historic village.

It is a museum and is open to visitors.
