Miss Smylie - "Bo Peep of Devonshire", "Sweet Joan of Minoro"? (LOC)

    This has been described in The New York Times as Miss Marjorie Smylie and her dog "Bo Peep of Devonshire". Bo Peep was shown at the Toy Spaniel Club of America's ninth annual exhibition, held on December 1, 1911, at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. Bo Beep was also shown at the Pekingese Club of America's show, December 1, 1913, at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. No reference was made to what is presumed to be the other dog in the photograph – "Sweet Joan of Minoro" – which may be the exception proving the rule that "every dog has their day" ;-)   "Minoro" may also be a typo. Marjorie Smylie is the daughter of Mrs. Benjamin Griffen (nèe Julia Ely) and her first husband, Major Charles Albert Smylie.   Mrs. Griffen later divorced Benjamin Griffen after seven years of marriage.

    It is so amazing to see the intricate tailoring of women's clothing from such a long period of time ago. I wish people still adorned themselves in this type of unique clothing!

    This appears from the same event as the next picture of Miss M. Kennedy, which took place on January 10, 1911:
    "The first specialty show given by the American Pomeranian Club was held in the sun parlor of the Waldorf-Astoria yesterday with 262 silken-coated entries in the long rows of cages, which took up every available bit of space on the hotel roof garden. The number of dainty little Poms was unusually large and them attendance far exceeded the expectations of the club."

    Mrs. George Russell Peabody is mentioned in the article as having been in attendance.

    She is listed in the "Woman's Who's Who In America 1914-15, page 630, as follows:
