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.

    Was she part of the same family as John F. Kennedy?

    This picture is really worth a thousand words. It tells a story of upper class society in Miss Kennedy's attire and her own dog. Even female idols of today have so called "designer dogs" like Paris Hilton's "tinkerbell."
  • doublevflip said:
    This photograph exudes the aristocracy of society at the time. Her hat, full-length fur, and dog that she carries as an accessory familiarly channel celebrities today.
  • David Badagnani said:
    I believe her full name was Marian Kennedy. There was an article about this event (the first specialty show given by the American Pomeranian Club) in The New York Times, which took place in the sun parlor of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City on January 10, 1911. 262 dogs took part, and the event featured many wealthy and notable personages. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B07E4DB1331E233A...

    It looks like Marian Kennedy was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Van Rensselaer Kennedy. She was in the New York Times quite a bit beginning in 1910. query.nytimes.com/search/sitesearch?query="marian+ke...
