Description of two costumes featuring soft cloth with wine shade embroidery and bolero trim, white lace yokes, taffeta bands, and buttoned tablet girdles. The plum gown includes a princess tunic, cord straps, Irish lace sleeves, white tulle chemisette, and a gathered deep flounce at the tunic base.
Fragmentary fashion guide describes a cream serge costume with left side seam skirt wrapped and double-stitched, silk buttons inside, semi fitted coat with bust buttons and braid, white straw hat with flower wreath, six and a half yards serge, seven yards braid, two dozen buttons. It contrasts a girl’s interest in silks and etiquette with modest means, hinting at social aspirations and preparations for ball wear and table manners.
The piece argues that a woman's hat signals her character. A plain round black hat marks a sweet, child-loving, old maid type preoccupied with others' children. A simple toque signals sensible wit, while angular wings imply a domineering independent woman. A soft feathery style suggests a feminine, elusive charm sought by many.
A homemaking note describes an excellent substitute for filmy swiss and met cov erings using cotton taf feta for bed covers. It highlights colors, a square cover with corner sections, a flat valance, and decorative lace, braid, and lawn ruffles to finish the top and edges.
The description notes a long dark blue tweed autumn coat with four hints of purple and henna in the pattern. It features a drooping belt tied at the hips, buttoned front not fastened, a French belt at the rear, and purple kid leather facings.
