Mrs. Andrew McKinney, the former Ida Blackstone Riley (1880-1935). She was involved in a newsy society divorce in late 1914. Her wealthy Wall Street broker husband was caught in a hotel room with his pink-pajama-clad girlfriend by their butler, while Ida sat in the limo outside. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F5071EFF3F5C13738... Ida later married Samuel Willets, another Long Island society figure (he was also divorced).

Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
pennylrichardsca, Thanks for the additional information on Mrs. McKinney. The photo dates from October 19, 1914, and the article you linked says she filed her summons on October 17, so that fits right in. We will update the record with more information.
