Jack loves his Valentine puppy most to pieces.  He wishes every little boy could have one as nice.  Valentines are not the only nice things that come through the mail in envelopes.  Patterns are fine, too, especially those like Jack's flannel and jersey suits and chinchilla top-coat.

Child Life

Your Dress and Dolly's, this single page is dated December 1925 and features a darling girl holding a book  She has two outfits, A dress with wreath and a coat with gift.  Paper has discolored from age. 

Text reads:

  Carol has a dainty new frock in which to sing her Christmas songs.  It is made of chiffon and has adorable sleeves that form a wide panel down the front.  Pleats each side of the panel give it fullness and style. 
  There is nothing like having a gay little cretonne dress to wear when making holly wreaths or when helping Mother decorate the house at Christmas time.  The occasion is not marred by having to be careful, for cretonne is very kind to spots, both large and small.
  Of course, there will be packages to deliver and Carol just loves to do this.  It does not surprise us when she has such a pretty coat to wear. You would not believe the collar, cuffs and hat to match were made from Mother's old-fashioned barrel muff.  You can wera this coat and these frocks , too for Mother can make them from CHILD LIFE patterns.
  Carol wishes everyone a Merry Christmas with A CHILD LIFE pattern in every stocking and a Happy New Year with a CHILD LIFE pattern for them each month.

We are always delighted to answer any questions Mother may care to ask, if she will send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to CHILD LIFE Pattern Department, care Rand McNally & Company. 536 S. Clark Street Chicago.

What an ad!  I love that Mother is captialized! Cretonne is a type of cotton fabric ( I had to look it up).

Well I'm back and will try to post more often but holidays can be busy.

The text reads:

Beth is ready for her first party and expects to have a wonderful time! If a pretty frock will help, she will indeed.  It is made of crepe de chine with a high waist, scalloped skirt, and a bateau neck.

But one cannot always be dressed for parties, so for less festive occasions Beth has two other dresses- a flowered crepe with a round yolk which extends in the front and forms a panel and a handkerchief linen with pleats in the front and back for fullness, a round collar and a perky bow, just the thing for joyful romps.  Are your dresses ready for the happy June days?
