A lady finger is a small, narrow firecracker, one of the smallest kinds, it’s typically red or green and makes a sharp pop or crack when it explodes, but it’s much less powerful than the larger fire crackers. They were especially popular in the mid-20th century because they were expensive and considered “safe“by the standards of the times.
Alice says: I loved the Fourth of July story. We often went to our Dad's sister's or brother’s farms on the 4th because we could shoot fireworks legally. We would bring ice, and my aunt would make ice cream with raspberries from her garden.
Oh my, so funny!! I never heard of lady fingers! Are those the tiny striped fireworks??

A comment from Phyllis: I, too, like the Helen picture. She looked like that all her life, I think. pm
