Five women are named in the caption for this Bain News Service negative of a French war fete: Mrs. Sayles, Mrs. Jas. Blake, Mrs. John Garrett, Mrs. Tiffany and Miss Sharp. Society fetes of this kind were common in American cities during the First World War, when they often raised money for French relief efforts, though the record gives no date or location to confirm this one. The Bain agency, founded by George Grantham Bain in New York, supplied newspapers with news and society photographs in the early 1900s, and the names here come from caption cards that have not been verified.
