About This Item
Ephemera includes holiday celebration notes, special edition Christmas stamps, Epworth League ephemera, as well as Valentine's Day cards and cut-outs gifted to our heroine, comedy letters from "The Goblina", and a pink token from Health Week, March 1926 "I wear Hygienic Shoes".
Throughout the collection, Cox acquires a car, and begins giving lifts to parties to
the other girls. Her older sister graduates, her commencement slip preserved in the pages here. What begins as a collection of school years becomes an intensely annotated catalogue of a social circle, giving the most wonderful insight into the lives of teenagers in America in the 1920s. Utterly charming, perfectly unique.

Title and decoration to front in black and gilt. Boards a little loose and worn, inner front hinge starting. Boards are bumped and a little bowed. Pages toned.
