A Bar in New York
There was a bar in New York, and probably it must still do business.
It was a no-woman admitted bar for the policy of the owner, but there was one exception: A widow of a soldier who died from a bite injury made by a lizard during the Spanish-American War. She somewhat lost her mind and earned money by selling peanuts she carried in her apron to customers of the bar. She alone was admitted into the bar but no other women.
So, the queer woman sewed and made a small Star-Spangled Banner for the owner out of gratitude. The humble flag was displayed somewhere in the bar for decades.
This episode is introduced in a book written by a Japanese author/translator who visited New York almost once a year since 1980's. Bookstores and bars are the places where he mostly spent his time in New York.
