The caption names three women, Mrs. Geo. Leary, Mrs. (Secy) Garrison, and Mrs. J.H. Hammond, and the parenthetical "Secy" suggests one of them held a secretarial post, though the record does not say with which organization. The Bain News Service, the New York photo agency founded by George Grantham Bain, made many such portraits of public figures and society members in the early 1900s, and its negatives were often captioned from notes that were not always checked. The date and the names are therefore unverified, so the sitters' identities and the occasion remain open questions for anyone researching this glass negative.
