"L'Echo De Paris" -
Children's clothing styles from the December 1929 issue of McCall's magazine.

Individuality in Dress

"Individuality in dress is achieved today not only in the cut of the garment, but in smart applications of color. Present day designs for hand embroideries employ simple stitches and present an excellent means of giving the touch of distinction."
From McCall's magazine, December 1926.

Do you Want to be a Movie Actress? - D.W. Griffith

"Are you the talented member of your family? And have you a longing in your heart to be a moving picture star?"

So begins this little article, in which D.W. Griffith himself is interviewed by Djuna Barnes, from the February 1925 issue of McCall's magazine. The Gish sisters, Nazimova, Sarah Bernhardt, and Mae Marsh are all mentioned briefly by him and it's an interesting read, though I doubt it would have done anything to help a young girl embark on a career as a moving picture star.

The Elusive Spell that Perfumes Cast

From McCall's magazine, August 1925.

"Why I wish I had married."

I found this article in the May 1921 issue of McCall's magazine. The introduction states:

"Are you sorry you are single? If you had your life to live over again, would you marry the man you once rejected? This article, the first of a series, by the married and the unmarried, is the frank confession of a business woman who never married but wishes she had. Read her story and tell us what you think."

This is one of the quotes from the business woman who wrote the article:

"I frankly admit that I would exchange my ten thousand a year salary as an interior decorator for the children and husband I never have had."

This is a very interesting read and helps paint a picture of the changing times for women in the 1920's. The conclusion of the article is below (just click on images to enlarge enough to read.)
