"The 'Henry Hutt girl' is a distinct type and in the matter of reflecting the latest styles it can be said without fear of dispute that she is the best dressed woman to be found anywhere...She usually looks sleek and well-nurtured and is for the most part a normal, healthy creature, clean of outline, as of mind, and with well-modeled features. All the world loves a pretty girl and so quite evidently does Mr. Hutt..." Editorial from The Century Publishers on Henry Hutt, 1908.
