    Mrs. Stokes' husband, Walter C. Stokes, was a New York stockbroker; Mrs. Schiff's husband was Mortimer L. Schiff (1877-1931), a banker active in the Boy Scouts of America. Same location, same day (you can see Mrs. Billings and Mrs. Johnson on the left, in the same hats as this photo):
  • Wystan said:
    Another photo shows Mrs. Schiff with her husband: memory.loc.gov/service/pnp/ggbain/13700/13753r.jpg These photos show members of New York society at the Piping Rock Country Club, in Locust Valley, Long Island.

    Another view at the same grandstand with Mr. & Mrs Schiff: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3842832314/in/p...
  • Wystan said:
    @Pony Meredith: Your photo appears to show the same venue, but on a different date. This photo was taken on 7/10/13; yours is dated a month earlier, 6-9-13.

Mrs. Roosevelt (LOC)

    Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt, Pres. Theodore Roosevelt's second wife and first lady. Judging that this is from the same set as a photo of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt Jr., it is no earlier than 1910. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Roosevelt
  • Wystan said:
    No, that would be Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Junior -- wife of the former President's son. She was the former Eleanor Butler Alexander. They were wed on June 20, 1910. This photo was taken on June 17, 1913. [Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt would have been 52 in 1913.]
  • Wystan said:
    Another Bain/LOC photo, taken the same day, shows a woman identified as Mrs. Roosevelt at the race track, :
  • Wystan said:
    New York society bluebloods in attendance at the horse races at Belmont Park, on June 17, 1913. A story in the New York Times on the 18th reported the roster of winners that day: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9406E...
