An apron for every task

"Dolls of Many Lands," (Whitman, 1932) is one of my favorite sets. 

Gretel of Holland has an apron for working in the garden, knitting and,

 of course, kitchen work.

A tiny paper doll ca. 1915

I'm taking a wild guess on the year...but the drop waist and ribbons say the WWI era to me...
