Three society women's names head this glass negative, which the Bain News Service recorded as Mrs. Cortland Smith, Mrs. A. Lehman and Mrs. H.S. Carpenter. The caption came from notes the agency wrote on the negative or its caption card, and the record does not confirm those identifications. Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that sold news and feature photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass plates, now held by the Library of Congress, document the city's social and public life of that era. Viewers interested in the period can use the names as a starting point for further research in newspapers and society columns.
