Figure 1.-- Jean was very glad to have such an active little brother to play with. In this photograph baby Claude has white long stocking or perhaps ecru. His short pant fidn'y have a buttonning croch which was common. Tather it was a sort of one piece attached at the shoulders by two little ribbons, rather similar to a romper suit or barboteuse.

One could say, the first ordinary romper. Not long after the babies and younger boys were wearing puffed rompers. A pin barrette hold his bib at the front. He wears white " babyfoot " training shoes. He seems to be very happy. If he had been born 5 years later, he would have worn a wool romper like most French babies did.
