The discerning P. T. Barnum first met Tom Thumb in 1842, when the latter was a boyyof olxlit. His name was Charles Stratton and his father was a drayman.

Her massive hair, slightly waved, was rolled a la Bugenie in front and elab- orately puffed behind. Her jewels consisted of a complete parure diamonds, with pendants, bracelets and brooch, The tiny bridesmaid, her sister Minnie, completed the party.
