SUMMARY- There are no tatting patterns in this one. You get the typical black-and-white photography of the period. There is a stern lecture in the introduction about her copyright of directions as well as her patterns, and threatens to prosecute any publisher who gives instructions for her invisible joins. Instructions are in the usual teeny tiny print that gives me a headache just to look at. The patterns: Filet Butterfly and Rose Yoke, Child's Hat, Filet Child's Yoke, Filet Yoke for Bridal Set, Combination Yoke, Nightgown and Corset Cover Yoke, Nightgown Yoke, Camisole(filet), Filet Child's Yoke, Corset Cover, Corset Cover, Crochet Hat, Corset Cover, Yoke, and another Corset Cover Yoke.
A lot of pattern booklets came out during this time period (between 1912 and 1925), so there must have been pretty stiff competition for the household budget for such things. Ms. LaCroix was one of the ladies who didn't put a copyright date in her books, so I have to guess at a year.
