Flossie Helps Her Bunny Color Easter Eggs

  Dear Girls and Boys,

        Flossie and her bunny friend had a great deal of trouble in getting eggs to color for Easter. When they at last succeeded they boiled most of the eggs, and the last few pictures will tell you what happened to the unboiled ones...      
Sincerely, 
Helen Nyce

       Easter is approaching fast so Flossie must meet up with her friend to make sure all is ready for the big egg hunt on the Saturday after Good Friday.

Flossie silhouettes for Easter story.

       Over 100 years ago, Helene Nyce organized children's writing competitions for The Ladies' Home Journal. The magazine editors would include her silhouette cuts to illustrate a series of adventures for a little girl named Flossie. Children would then write a short story to accompany the illustrations and submit it through the mail to win a prize.
