Summary[edit]

Description
English: just another fashion vignette themed around "the Terrys of Togtown" - and, in this case, the neighborhood children.
  • Text: While her niece was visiting her, Mrs. Ted Terry gave a 12 o'clock breakfast for all the little girls of the neighborhood. They wore their every-day dresses and pretty white aprons. Most of the aprons were hemstitched above a deep hem around the bottom. And even the finest were trimmed with embroidery instead of lace. The little girls wore aprons with embroidery ruffles, and their dresses and aprons were longer than the older girls' were.
Mrs. Terry prepared for the little people as carefully as she would have done for older guests. She half filled the porch with rubber balls, jumping ropes, toys and playthings of every description. And for breakfast she had everything that little people like - creamed potatoes, fried chicken, olives, radishes, lettuce with salad dressing, cocoa, fruits, ice cream, cakes with candies and bonbons in dainty little boxes which the youngsters took home with them. Then there was lemonade on the table and lemonade in a great punch bowl in the hall. And after lunch Mrs. Ted knotted a rope around stakes which Mr. Terry had driven on the lawn, and inside the inclosure the children played blind man's buff for a half hour. Then Mrs. Terry read them a fairy story and sent them home. And such a good time as they did have!
"Keep children busy, give them something to do, and they will enjoy themselves," said Mrs. Ted, while she took down the rope and I helped her straighten up the front porch.
