Award For Best Photo In The Universe (post1 – award 5)

How I hated having cloth wraps to make ringlets, but they did look nice.

Being an American living near the Jell-O Museum, I at first thought this was Jell-O! www.jellogallery.org/

Lovely! I bet their mum made their matching dresses!

We were excited to see that these two little girls were located by the Courier Mail newspaper and featured last week in a story about this year's Ekka. Their names - Yvonne Donald (nee Le Sueur) and Fay Stubbs (nee Le Sueur). They were aged 6 and 8 when the photo was taken. Yvonne noted in the article that it was their first time at the show and that their mother had made their matching dresses.

There's a mention of "Miss Jean Potter and Miss Charlotte Potter" being "on the beach" at Southampton in summer 1922 (apparently visiting for the festivities surrounding a tennis tournament): chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1922-07-07/ed-... "Jean and Charlotte Potter" took part in a 1922 circus-themed fair at Agawam Park, to benefit Southampton Hospital (they helped run the roasted peanuts and popcorn concession). query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F00D16FF385D1A7A9... The two Potter girls are also listed among the young women selling programs for a performance at the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton that year (New York Tribune, 3 September 1922). I think they're the daughters of banker William Chapman Potter and Caroline Morton Potter, who were divorcing in 1922 (which might account for the girls' busy social calendar that year). Reports about the divorce mention they have two daughters, 17 and 19. Mrs. Potter was residing in Paris at the time. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30A15FB355A1B7A9... They had a half-sister, Diana Guggenheim (1924-1991), aka Diane Hamilton: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Hamilton Jean Potter married artist Frederick Soldwedel; they divorced in 1930. Then she married Lt. Edmund C. Stout; she was widowed in 1943 when he died from an accidental gunshot wound in their home in Florida. Charlotte Potter married Reginald M. Lewis in 1926, and divorced him in 1930; then she married a man named Atwood, as his second wife, c1932.

Two young ladies. Beautiful.
