  Marvellous, the men with their suits and hat and the young ladies in their bobby socks, and check out that scooter! Fabulous

  Really a suggestive image !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• James Head said:

  I wonder what the zeitgeist was like in '38.. How much foresight there was for the coming War. Or if it was a 'great time'?

  Cynthia May Westover Alden (1862-1931), American journalist: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynthia_May_Alden

• Wystan said:

  Wikipedia appears to be unaware of her legal troubles: Mrs. Alden was the founder of the International Sunshine Society, a million-dollar charity, which operated sanitaria, a home for girls, an orphanage for blind babies, and other institutions. The Society's troubles began in 1913 when New York Attorney General Thomas Carmody held that it could not legally operate a home for blind babies under its charter. An investigation disclosed scandalously-casual accounting of donations and disbursements, and the possibility of graft. New York Times, June 18, 1914: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9D00E...

• Kristi (LOC P&P) said:

  pennylrichardsca and Wystan: Thanks for shedding more light on Mrs. Alden. We will add more details to the record when we update!
