Summer: Frock of flowered organdy, trimmed with borders of small sprays of natural flowers.  Large straw hat tied under the chin.  Carries a basket of flowers.

Autumn: Skirt of white serge, border of grapes and leaves.  Skirt-yoke and bodice of leaves; sleeves and drapery of white chiffon.  White hat.  Carries sickle on a chain and wheat in the hand.
