Jumping Joan

(Here’s a cute little girl’s costume from a Mother Goose nursery rhyme.)

Suitable for a Child. Tall and pointed cap, pink and white stripes carried round; soft pink silk dress with honeycomb yoke, a skipping-rope round waist; sleeves with puff at shoulder, slashed puffs at elbow, cuffs falling over the hand.

The rhyme:

Here am I, little jumping Joan,
When nobody’s with me
I’m always alone.
