OTHER tissue-paper ladies were made by gluing an upright strip of wood
to the center of a horizontal piece, like an inverted T, and wrapping
it with cotton for a foundation.
A ball of cotton was fastened to the top for a head, then covered with
white tissue paper on which a face was drawn with a pencil.
These ladies wore loose, flowing gowns, long capes, and large,
comfortable bonnets tied under the chin.
Tissue-paper ladies of this kind could stand alone.
