1920 New York Social Register at books.google.com/books?id=ek5IAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA631&l... suggests that Audrey is the daughter of Mrs. Sellar (Sybil W. Sherman) by a previous husband. They lived in Hewlett, Long Island.

New-York tribune., November 13, 1920, Page 11 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1920-11-13/ed-... has a picture of Audrey and caption that confirms she is the daughter of Mrs. Norrie Sellar.

NYT of Dec 14, 1904 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50F11FD3A5C12738... reports on the marriage of Mrs. Sybil W Sherman Hoffman and Mr Sellar. According to the research of curators of a portrait at the New-York Historical Society, "Sybil Katherine Sherman was the daughter of W. Watts Sherman (d. 1912) and Annie Derby Rogers Wetmore, daughter of William Shepard Wetmore and niece of Governor George Peabody Wetmore of Rhode Island. She was the first of three wives of John Ellis Hoffman; they were divorced in 1904 and a year later the subject was married to Norrie Sellar (d. 1932), a prominent London and New York cotton broker." They give her dates as circa 1875-1955.

The younger girl will likely be Iris (Sellar) Veeder (1908-1983) See Scope and Content in www.rihs.org/mssinv/MSS1078.htm (finding aid for family papers of Sybil's family) An 1931 engagement picture is at fultonhistory.com/newspaper%2011/New%20York%20Evening%20P...

A court case from 1969 relating to a will, law.justia.com/cases/rhode-island/supreme-court/1969/252-... suggests that Audrey Hoffman Clinton, Iris Sellar Veeder and Norrie Sherman Sellar were siblings. This indicates that Audrey married a Clinton, which in turn suggests that the 1915 debutante picture of "Audrey Hoffman, mother of Audrey Clinton" on fashionhistorian.net/blog/2013/11/21/more-holiday-gift-bo... is the same Audrey Hoffman as in this Bain picture. Audrey's 1975 death was reported in the Newport Mercury on May 9, 1975 -- www.newspapers.com/newspage/16223265/
