Marjorie May's 12th [Twelfth]
Birthday (Kotex puberty
&
menstruation booklet, Canada, 1935)
Cover
and foldout
A 12-year-old girl never looked
so flapperesque (drawing, below left)!
(I once saw the word Flapperdom used
seriously in the title of a story in a
magazine
from the early 1920s. H. L. Mencken, in 1915,
when he was the editor of The American
Mercury,
supposedly introduced the word flapper to America
from England.)

The cover expands
with a foldout, below.

A little earlier, in
the mid-1930s, a woman in Missouri
(U.S.A.) received this booklet,
above. Marjorie looks like a 12-year
old. And see a 1938 edition.

|
An attached, removable page
(right side; see the perforations)
folds out from beneath the cover.
This removable page is printed on
both sides and enlarged, below.
