  It is likely that this photo was taken at the Greenwich Village Garden Party in June, 1917. See

  Thanks for connecting the two images of the young ladies, B-59. We'll make the correction to the caption the next time we update.

  A "Miss Tiffany" is mentioned in connection with the Greenwich Village Garden Party in May, 1917: The Washington, D.C. Times reported, on May 23, 1917: "VEGETABLE PARTY RAISES BIG FUND New York People Help Woman's National Service League. NEW YORK. May 23. Five thousand society, near-society, and non-society folk paid their way into a Washington Square garden party with raw vegetables which they later bought back at prices that even the war never can force. Wherefore, the Woman's National Service League's campaign fund is richer by several thousand dollars today. Mayor Mltchel's wife got in with a young basket of carrots; Miss Tiffany gave $5 for a frankfurter and ate it- which was worth $5 more. Marie Dressler auctioned off a bouquet of cabbages, onions, string beans, and garlic tied with red. white, and blue baby ribbon." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84026749/1917-05-23/ed-...
