    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):

    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.

    @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. Vanderpoel, Mrs. Fred D. Johnson, and Mrs. C.K.G. Billings (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    The woman on the left is perhaps Mrs. William Halsted Vander Poel, the former Gretchen Billings, daughter of CKG Billings (chairman of Union Carbide). CKG Billings and Frederick Johnson (apparently the husbands of the other two women) together bought some English thoroughbred horses to raise for raising in 1915.
  • Wystan said:
    C. K. G. Billings and Fred Johnson were partners in the ownership of race horses, including "Omar Khayyam," winner of the 1917 Kentucky Derby. This photo appears to have been taken at the stepped observation boxes of the Piping Rock Country Club, in Locust Valley, Long Island, on July 10, 1913. Here is the same scene, same day, shifted to the right:
