Yes, that's the top of her corset that you see - the lines over her bosom. My thought here is that she probably has bangs that go down to her ears, but for some reason she decided to pull the bangs away from her face. Maybe her mom insisted? Bangs were popular for younger girls. There's a section of a Laura Ingalls book all about the cutting of her bangs and how she used her slate pencil to curl the bangs. I think the book is In The Big City? This would have occurred around the same time that these photos were taken. I notice that her hair is also somewhat loose in the back, which also speaks to her younger age.<br /><br />NorkioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-57418314668784325992010-09-16T07:43:12.426-05:002010-09-16T07:43:12.426-05:00Another stern face!

I wonder how long it took to put all that stuff (my word for all them fancy names for things) on?<br /><br />Its a shame its nearly impossible to track down who this and her "sister" are - it would take a fancy "face recognition" database with high-speed computer - or just random luck where someone that knew (or knows) them spotted them!<br /><br />I wonder if the CIA rents out their computer? :)Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.com
