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.
