    Probably from the 1915 International Flower Show: "The Second International Flower Show, with which The Horti- cultural Society of New York has been directly connected, was held in the Grand Central Palace, March 17 to 23, in cooperation with the New York Florists' Club. [...] The Red Cross Tea Garden was the big attraction. An account of the arrangements for this, including the composition of the var- ious committees in charge of the work, was given in the Febru- ary issue of this Journal. Mrs. W. K. Draper, the chairman, and Mrs. Belmont Tififany, the vice-chairman, were indefatigable in their efforts to make a success of the undertaking, and they succeeded wonderfully. ]\Ir. Wm. A. Delano designed and arranged the Tea Garden. The council of The Horticultural Society of New York awarded him a gold medal in appreciation of this. The Tea Garden was taxed to its capacity, people being turned away for want of room. Arrangements for dancing were pro- vided, in connection with the Tea Garden. " Another account: select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20E15FF3E5F1773... Mentioning the assistance of "young society girls"

    Lieutenant Joseph Charles Stehlin (1897-1967) on an air tour selling liberty bonds. He is wearing a French WWI aviator uniform so he must have been in the Lafayette Escadrille. New York Times on April 14, 1918: "If the weather is favorable, Lieutenant Joseph C. Stehlin will start at 3 o'clock o clock this afternoon from Sheepshead Bay on his air flight through New York state in the interest of Liberty Bonds." He was born on 29 January 1897 in Brooklyn, New York City. He died in Miami Florida in 1967. Here is an image from a French archive: gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b53052449n Because he was not in the US military he would need a passport to return to the United states during wartime, so he should have a passport application with the state department ... I found it.

    The Harrisburg telegraph., November 28, 1917, Page 7 printed a photo of him with the caption: "Joseph C. Stehlin, of New York City, who is but nineteen years old, is at present the youngest American aviator in France. He was refused the right to enlist in the American and British flying corps, but was accepted by the French. He has now been transferred to General Pershing's forces as an instructor." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85038411/1917-11-28/ed-...
