oldrags: Papier-mache Halloween costumes for children or teens, 1919 US, Ladies’ Home Journal (Left to right) “Showing the Ruddy Apple”, “Brilliant Wheatfield”, “Autumnal Beauty of the Cosmos”.  I’m not sure what this is a reference to, but I’m guessing maybe the Three Graces?  Could they be Aglaia (wheatfield), Thalia (flowers) and Euphrosyne (apples)?
