New York dispatch notes why baby actresses are chosen as fashion models. It highlights well clad children in comfort and the latest styles, citing a plaited gray suit worn by a young boy dancer with sturdy boots and leggings at a recent entertainment.
A playful stage scene features Baby Kernfell and two small stars in a homey Vassar-style puppet show. Bright costumes, embroidered trims, and velvet accents adorn the performers while a little audience of family-like figures watches the tableau unfold with cheer.
The article describes building details from Verania rafters of white pine and spruce floors, yellow pine walls and ceilings, sash windows with double glass, and ornate staircase and molding. It notes decorative fabrics, silks, and shells of secrecy for fashion items, plus expert advice on shellac finishes for walnut woodwork and quick completion by a decorator and furnisher.
