Description:
Little girls' clothing could be highly decorative, like the frilly bonnet and dress with pom-poms shown in this photograph. This three-year old girl was placed with foster parents in the Devonshire countryside. Finding foster homes for children was always a key area of the Waifs and Strays' Society's work.
