The Girl Graduate: Her Own Book Issue one

Ephemera includes holiday celebration notes, special edition Christmas stamps, Epworth League ephemera, as well as Valentine's Day cards and cut-outs gifted to our heroine, comedy letters from "The Goblina", and a pink token from Health Week, March 1926 "I wear Hygienic Shoes".

Throughout the collection, Cox acquires a car, and begins giving lifts to parties to

the other girls. Her older sister graduates, her commencement slip preserved in the pages here. What begins as a collection of school years becomes an intensely annotated catalogue of a social circle, giving the most wonderful insight into the lives of teenagers in America in the 1920s. Utterly charming, perfectly unique.
