Could be the former Margarita Armstrong, wife of Anthony J. Drexel (son of the Drexel who founded Drexel University). In December 1915, she was in the news in association with a judgment in London allowing her to recover money from her husband (who had taken up residence in Europe) under a separation deed. See New-York tribune., December 17, 1915, Page 5 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1915-12-17/ed-...

Photographer appears to be Marceau. See rcc.psc.sc.edu/index.php?action=showPhotographer&id=28 An interesting tidbit: "Because of Marceau's liberal administrations of champagne, his skill as a raconteur, and his sociable nature, he immediately became a fixture in the associational world of the profession in New York. In 1905 he and Pirie McDonald organized the Professional Photographers Society of New York State and served as its First Vice-President. With B. J. Falk and Pirie MacDonald, Marceau organized the Copyright League that lobbied Congress for stronger rights protections for photographers against the appropriation of their images by newspapers. It is he that recommended that a c with a circle around it and the photographer's name on the front of an image serve as the public claim that an image was copyright protected." There is a C in a circle near his name and another at lower right. Note: the photographs of Isabel B. Gardner and Mrs. Henry Pierson in this batch appear to have the same studio background.

Alternatively, she could be the former Marjorie Gould, who married the younger Anthony J. Drexel. The Tacoma times., February 22, 1915, Page 5 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn88085187/1915-02-22/ed-... has a picture of Marjorie that could be in this hat. The photo is a Marceau photo, although not the same as this one. Pittsburgh Press news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1144&dat=19150223&... has the same piece with better image quality.

The wedding mentioned in the piece that features the "aureole" hat took place on January 6, 1915 and "Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel Jr., formerly Miss Marjorie Gould" was matron of honour. This looks like an outfit for a matron of honor. See NYT of Dec 16, 1914 announcing the plans. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0614FA3F5C13738... A report of the wedding at fultonhistory.com/Newspaper%2014/New%20York%20NY%20Herald... describes Mrs. Drexel's outfit: "of orchid colored satin. Her hat consisted of a deep crown of the same shade of satin and a wide brim of of wavy gold net. She carried a bouquet of mauve orchids, and over her shoulders and corsage fell two long strings of pearls." I think this is the former Miss Marjorie Gould.

Definitely.. that's the outfit.

Thanks for catching the typo. We'll fix it when we update.

I added her to Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evelyn_Parnell

In what was reported as a "Surprise to Society", Mrs. Hasell Borwick, younger daughter of Mr Lewis Cruger Hasell, and Mrs Mary Mason Hasell, became the bride of the Consul General of the Netherlands in New York, Adrian van de Sande-Bakhuyzen (1874-1951). After receiving their marriage license from City Hall, they immediately went to St. Mark's Church where they were married on February 18, 1915. The groom was 40 years old, the bride was 25. The bride was the former Mary Mason Hasell, and was a great great-grandaughter of the late Mrs. Mason Jones ("Lady Mary"). She made her début in 1907.  In 1908 she married George Borwick of London, heir of Sir Robert Borwick of Cumberland, England. They divorced in February, 1914, after some marital charges and counter-charges in London courts entertained London society-watchers. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Mr. van de Sande-Bakhuyzen was the son of Dr. H. G. (Hendricus Gerardus) van de Sande-Bakhuyzen (1838-1923), a distinguished astronomer in the Netherlands. [6] Mr. Adrian van de Sande-Bakhuyzen served several posts as Consulate General, including Hong Kong, and New York. In February, 1916, Mrs.van de Sande-Bakhuyzen accompanied her husband to a new post as Consul General of the Netherlands at Singapore. [7] [8] [9] In July, 1919, Mrs. van de Sande-Bakhuyzen announced her divorce to Adrian and her marriage to R.A.D. Cort van der Linden in Edinburgh. Her husband is a son of Holland's Prime Minister, and is now studying music and composition in Holland. [10] At this point I refer to the bride as "Mrs. Mary Mason Hasell Borwick van de Sande-Bakhuyzen R.A.D. Cort van der Linden", however The New York Times refers to her as Mrs. Cort van der Linden. In October, 1921, Mrs. van der Linden returned to America to make her acting debut in a new play, "We Girls". She reportedly will be acting the part of "a society girl with cynical sayings". Her stage name is to be "Mary Hazel" (her maiden name was Mary Hasell). It was said she met with "much opposition" from her family in going on stage. WE GIRLS, a comedy in three acts, opened on Broadway, November 9, 1921, at the Forty-eighth Street Theatre. The New York Times review was good. I saw no mention of Mrs. van der Linden in the cast – by any name.
