Edith Kane may be the daughter of Tuxedo Club founder Grenville Kane (he had a daughter Edith born in 1884, married in 1911, so she'd be in the news during the right window of time).

Edith Kane was soon to become the wife of George Fisher Baker Jr.

hey, we just had a photo of George F. Baker, Jr. in this recent collection.

This photograph was probably taken at the Meadow Brook Field on June 14, 1913 on the occassion of the Newport Cup polo match between America and England.

Thanks to all for your comments! lifeasdaddy: It does appear quite likely these ladies are at the polo match in question. We will add to the record when we update. Good eye!
