Anon, “The Woman’s Exchange” in the Evening Public Ledger-Philadelphia, October 21, 1918, p. 10—
Some of the new up-to-the-minute costumes for Halloween are the camouflage girl, the farmerette, the munition worker, Liberty or the Belgian girl. The camouflage girl wears a little camouflaged boat for a hat. This can be made of cardboard and fits right down close on the head. The rest of her costume is made up of various shades of cambric sewn in zigzag stripes just as a boat is painted in camouflage style.
