Figure 1.--Here we see cousins Alys L. Wellington Mason and Clinton C. Wellington. The portrait is undated. but the AZO stamp box helps date it to 1918-30. We would have guessed a little earlier. So the snapshot was probably taken in the late-1910s or early-20s. Alys is wearing a plain white dress with a huge hair bow. She also wears strap shoes and white three-quarter socks. Clinton has long curly hair. Some of it was done in ringlets. But because his hair was so curly, that was probably a problem. Note how slender the ringlets were. This shot st home probably shows that constant maintenance was needed to maintain ringlets. Put your cursor on the image for a closer look atf Clinton's outfit.
