In 1887, Mary Caroline "Lina" Beard and her sister Adelia Belle Beard, authored "The American Girls Handy Book". Like their brother's book for boys, the Beard sisters' book was organized into seasonal activities. Subtitled "How to Amuse Yourself and Others," there were ideas for transplanting wildflowers, preserving the perfume of flowers, making Easter egg dolls, drying starfish, polishing shells, making corn-husk dolls and butterfly fans, painting china, entertaining, and making candy.
