This California family was photographed in 1923. The photograph appears to be the extended family. I'm not surev just who the adults are. There are three children. At first we thought there were three boys, but on closer examination the child on the left looks to be a girl with short hair. She looks to be wearing a blouse and skirt with kneesocks. The boy on the right is wearing knickers with long black stockings. I can't quite make out the shoes that he is wearing. His shirt is a popular style with a open collar cut rather like a middy blouse. There are three children. One wears knickers with long black stockings. Notice how he has his hair combed straight back. The younger boy appears to be wearing a rompers suit.
