Lucy's bread lesson and May costume cautions
A Brooklyn letter from May 9, 1892 recounts Lucy an eight year old girl seeking bread making guidance from Miss Kirk and a commentary on May attire. It warns mothers to guard against vanity that leads to illness, repeats safe baking steps with Fleischmann yeast, and urges practical dress choices and self reliance for women in fashion and home skills.
