More BOOTS Patterns, 1934

Intriguing ensembles like this one, which is equally smart with or without the jacket, explains why BOOTS, the popular comic-strip heroine - always look so fresh and modish. The costume is easy and fun to make at home.

In this charming frock you can go to holiday parties looking just as youthfully chic as BOOTS, the heroine of this newspaper's popular comic strip. No wonder BOOTS is a style leader for the young folk of the nation!
