Figure 1.-- Here we see the children wearing play clothes. Claude wears a button-on suit. Actually these styles could be worn for both play and more dressy occassions. Often the new outfit would be the dressy one and the older one used for play. These bitton-on suits were very popular during the 1980s for boys up to about 8 years of age.

Jean wears what looks like a knitted sweater. Both boys wear sandals without socks. This was very common during the summer. They were called sandalettes. Younger boys might wear these button-on outfits to school with a smock. If the weather turned chilly mother might add an undershirt or for a dressy look, a jacket on sunday. Collars, both pointed ones and Peter Pan collars became smaller in the 1930s.
