1. Twilight Tea - a school social event?
2. Gotta Love the uniforms! Before there were Girl Scouts, there were Camp Fire Girls. The Camp Fire Girls was an organization founded in 1910, in Thetford, Vermont , by William Chauncey Langdon and his wife Charlotte, to create a female counterpart to the Boy Scouts of America.
3. Embroidery Floss
4. I am assuming this is Mercerized Thread - a thread that has been treated to give a lustrious finish.
