  Lovely, three happy looking kids with two nice smiles and nice dresses on the three of them The veils are very simple with the flower headdresses.

  Are the older girls wearing silk stockings?

  blackpoolbeach I think you're right there, those look like silk stockings to me. I also note on closer scrutiny that the two older girls have similar brooches or pins in their dresses. Probably a gift for playing their part.

Note the young ladies lovely shoes? They were probably being save from the dirt of the lawn and footpath.

  That doesn't look like the front door at Power Hall, which can be seen in other nli photos here and here.
