Jen stands in the garden at home just before she starts as a boarder at Dr Williams' school. She is wearing her best Winter uniform dress, commonly known as a 'sack'. It wasn't the most loved item on the clothing inventory. The hat is also Winter uniform and was only really worn on Sundays going to church or chapel. Fawn socks and 'broad low heels with a strap' complete the look. The cuddly toy took up residence in the dormitory. This image is from a slide transparency.

One year we made a cricket pitch hat for DBL to wear on the school birthday at lunch. An entirely rational choice when you consider that A)DBL was a keen cricketer and B) we all had to play cricket. This cartoon does not represent DBL, the young artist did not know her.If he had done he would have known that mugs and sandwiches were not quite her style even with the crusts cut off!
