...a Chinese lounging suit of jade-colored brocaded silk. It was before the day of pajamas for women, and certain the things were modest enough; a full high-necked coat and a pair of wide trousers..... Leighton... stared at her as though he were seeing her for the first time in months.
These pajamas provoke interest in a man who is not Elinor Norton’s husband in Mary Roberts Rinehart novel The State v. Elinor Norton from 1933. These garments arrive courtesy of Elinor’s wealthy cousins while she was living a hard life out west on a ranch that her husband and Leighton were trying to work. Although Elinor wears pants, thus setting herself apart from the other ranch wives in the story, this lounging suit, so luxurious and exotic, is an even further step from the everyday wear of women. They were considered a bit daring at a time when few women wore pants for anything but dirty work, and most not even then. So even if they were indeed modest in the flesh they exposed, they drew attention.
This novel is the story of the trial of Elinor Norton. RInehart was novelist best known for her books from the early 20th Century which ranged from comedy to mystery. This one was turned into a film with Claire Trevor in 1934 called Elinor Norton.
