The children are dressed somewhat informally as was becoming more common. The little girl looks to be about 5 yesars old. She wears a blouse and a very high-set suspender kilt. We sususpect it was ought in a large size so she could wear it several years. She has a hair bow. Her older brother lloks to be about 11-12 years old. He wears an open-collar shirt, similar to, but smaller than a Schiller collar. He also wears a sleeveless sweater, short pants, and knee socks.
