About this book
The January 1899 issue of a women’s fashion periodical combines clothing designs and sewing patterns with fiction for readers interested in dress and needlework. Its garment descriptions give practical details, including pattern sizes, fabric choices, trim, and the amount of cloth needed. A coat for a small boy, for example, is shown with a cape collar and fur trim, with broadcloth suggested for formal wear and whipcord for everyday use. In a holiday story, Ray and Mr. Leonard meet on a snowy garden path, where his direct question breaks through her careful avoidance.
