Figure 1.--White outfits were very popular at the turn-of-the 20th century in both Englnd and America. Here we see two unidentified Englisgh children weating white with white long stockings and white shoes. Not only are they dressed identically, but their hair is also done the same. The children look to be about 5-8 years old. The older child we think must be a girl, but the younger child we are not so sure about.

White outfits were very popular at the turn-of-the 20th century in both Englnd and America. We see that in other countrties as well, but it seems especually notable in England and Amerriuca.

The children look to be about 5-8 years old. The older child we think must be a girl, but the younger child we are not so sure about. he looks very boyish to us, but you can never be sure with children at this age.
