Figure 1.--This is another photograph from the interesting collection taken by Frank Fuller Avery at Fort Spokane, Washington--this one in 1915. It shows a boy from the Schafer family (we don't know his Christian name). The boy looks as though he were about 5 years old. He seems to be wearing a summer white dress rather than knee pants although the top of the dress looks very much like a modern tee-shirt because it is so plain and unadorned.

This is another photograph from the interesting collection taken by Frank Fuller Avery at Fort Spokane, Washington--this one in 1915. It shows a boy from the Schafer family (we don't know his Christian name). He is holding a cat who seems to get along well with the family dog who lies on the porch behind the large wooden chair in which the boy is sitting. The boy looks as though he were about 5 years old. He seems to be wearing a summer white dress rather than knee pants although the top of the dress looks very much like a modern tee-shirt because it is so plain and unadorned. Notice the long white stockings worn with supporters and the rather dressy ankle strap shoes. His hair is cut very short for 1915. This may have had something to do with the fact that Fort Spokane was at that time still something of a frontier town and populated by many Indians who tended to wear their hair longer.
