Figure 1.-- One infant portrait shows Billy Blaisdell wearing a romper suit. This becanme a popular style for younger children. It was primarily as is the case here a plasy suit rather than dress up clothing. It is a voluminous suit that we see Anerican children wearing at the time. The detailing looks rather like a Russian blouse detailing. His hair is not yet long enough to be done in ringlet curls. He looks to be about 1 years old, but not yet 2 years.
