The link at nyhistory.org above no longer works, but the New York Historical Society has www.nyhistory.org/exhibit/caroline-astor-drayton-1880-1965 which is probably equivalent. www.findagrave.com/memorial/125859622/caroline-astor-phil... for Caroline Astor Drayton Phillips has a drawing that is a match to this photograph.

" HE IS JUST SECRETARY BO
Sweeney of Interior Department
Doesn't Even Care for "Mister"

WASHINGTON, DC, June 23, 1914" – The New York Times

If Bain published this photograph ca. 1910-1915, it may have been in relation to the appointment of Bo Sweeney in 1914 as Assistant Secretary of the Interior.

This is a photograph of the former Lillian E. Reeves (1880-1929) who married Bo Sweeney on February 2, 1898. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Reeves of Trinidad, Colorado.[1]

Bo Sweeney (1862-1917) was a native of Missouri, practiced law and was a state representative (D) in Colorado, before moving to Seattle. He served as an assistant Secretary of the Interior with Secretary Lane from 1914 to 1917. Bo died suddenly of a heart attack in Washington in 1917. [2] [3] [4]

A photo of Assistant Secretary Sweeney is in the Bain / LOC Collection on Flickr:

She's the former Mimosa June Gates (1872-1952), married 1900, after she traveled by dogsled to Nome to be with him. The couple left Alaska soon after they married, in part because her chronic lung complaint required a warmer climate.
