Here are some advertisements from the July 1913 Modern Priscilla for Cream of Wheat, and Mennen’s Toilet Powder baby powder from 1913, as well as the table of contents and cover. The Modern Priscilla was a housekeeping and fashion magazine that published monthly from 1887-1930. It was geared towards middle class women of the day, and it looks like this issue included information on how to make Chinese inspired embroidery.
Accordinng to MagazineArt.org: “MODERN PRISCILLA (1887-1930) began at Lynn, Massachusetts, as a sixteen-page quarto devoted to fancy work, dress patterns, china painting, and needlework in general, at fifty cents a year. In 1894 it was moved to Boston, and eventually it was enlarged in scope to cover many other aspects of women’s home life. It absorbed EVERYDAY HOUSEKEEPING in March 1912, and HOME NEEDLEWORK MAGAZINE in May 1917. The last issue was July 1930, after which it apparently merged into NEEDLECRAFT magazine.”
