One instructional book entitled Art in Dress with Notes on Home Decoration, second edition, by Lydia Bolmar and Kathleen McNutt, published by Manual Arts Press, Peoria, Illinois, copyright 1917.

(Introduction, p. 3) The chapters address such issues as basic principles of design and arrangement, dress and its relation to the wearer, color, and home decoration. The book is illustrated with black and white line drawings, and features three fold-out plates intended for practice of the principles outlined in the book. The title on the front cover is framed with a decorative border; the inside of the front cover and both sides of the back cover are blank. Pages 43-46 contain publisher's advertisements for books on related subjects. "Mabel Spofford" is written in ms. at the top of the front cover, as well as below the title on the title page. An embossed stamp of the letter "S" is on the upper right-hand corner of the title page. Laid in is the February 1916 issue (single sheet, double sided) of The Applied Arts Bulletin.
