Excerpts
added by Katharine Hadow.
Chapter VI/The Party Dress/This dainty dress [Fig. 32] may be just as elaborate as possible. The more lace and insertion used the fluffier and prettier it will look.

Chapter VII/Dolly's Street Clothes/Here is Dolly dressed for a walk. Her coat may be made from any desired material. If for a very dressy one, cut from velvet or heavy silk. Serge or thin broadcloth, trimmed with braid and small fancy buttons, makes a smart little coat. Of the wash materials, flannel and pique are perhaps the favorites.
