A Topsy Turvy Christmas PDF Download

Excerpt from A Topsy-Turvy Christmas Frank and Alice wear the usual school clothes of children of their ages. Marg, the tiny Grandmother, has her hair powdered, parted in the middle, and combed down over her ears. She wears a cap, and spectacles, from which the lenses have been removed. Her dress is long, of gray material, with white apron and kerchief, which may be on wrong side to. Mom, the children's mother, wears her hair high, her dress long. This dress is preferably a wrapper or tea-gown worn "hind side before." She wears an apron, also, one of the round, tea aprons, either behind or over one hip. She may have a lace collar, pinned behind. Dad wears long trousers, with his socks pulled up outside, a swallow tail coat, and vest, both "hind side before." Ecila wears a very short dress, white, or light colored, with a sash of some other color, preferably red, tied in front. She may wear beads, which hang down her back. If her hair is long, part it, comb each side up to the top, and begin to braid there. Braid tightly, and loop it, so loops will stand out and up pinning into place, if necessary. Tie ribbons around base of loops. If her hair has the Dutch cut, bring the top hair, which is left longer, as far as possible, and tie a ribbon around it, so that it stands up in the front, just over the forehead, being the bow. She has short socks. Knarf wears short trousers - decidedly short - with frills at the bottom of bright color. His blouse may be Russian or sailor, but must be on "hind side before," and have collar and cuffs of bright color. A suit of green and white awning stripe, with bright pink trimmings, would be very effective. Comb his hair in any peculiar way that that particular boy's hair can be coaxed to stay. His stockings are long, striped around with bright blue. Derf should have a wig, if at all possible, of long curls. Tie one or two up on the side, with a blue ribbon. He has short socks, and knickers of material to match his dress, that end above the knee. The dress may be a kilted skirt and a sailor or middy blouse of white, with blue trimmings. A sash, with tassels, passes round his waist, and knots at one side. The big sailor collar should be in front, instead of behind. The Teacher wears a cap and gown, like those of graduates, wrong side to. He may have glasses. The Spankety Man is dressed in a dark red cambric garment, with tight-fitting waist and trousers, in one.
