In "Mail-Order Wings" by Beatrice Gormley, a young girl named Annie lives in a time when several social upheavals are occurring. Feeling stifled in her rural community, Annie dreams of adventure beyond her small town. When she discovers a mail-order catalogue that offers an unusual chance for transformation, she decides to order a pair of wings that promise to give her the freedom she craves.
