thought being Minnie Mouse was a cute idea, so I had just bought the gloves, the ears with the bow in the center, and a pair of black thigh high socks and we were finally finished in The Costume Warehouse. "Hey guys this dress is perfect for my Betty Boop costume!" Cali exclaimed as she ran up to a short, bright red dress that hung inside Charlotte Russe.

Parris mentioned he has a daughter and he is a widower. However, “Betty Parris’ mother was not dead, but very much alive at the time” (The Crucible: Fact & Fiction Para.5).
