This looks like the Abbie P. Morrison pictured in a 1918 newpaper appearing in a Junior League play benefiting war relief. There are later mentions of her as a professional singer.

Her name was later more frequently spelled Abby. This also appears to be her, Abby Putnam Morrison, pictured as the first woman to enlist in the navy as an electrician in 1917.

Apparently she was a radio operator and in 1919 helped found the Women's Radio League in New York.

She married William Wood Ricker in 1925

In 1941, she is pictured under her married name of Abby M. Ricker with other socially prominent women promoting bike riding to conserve gasoline.

The last mention I found of her was in 1964. An article recounts her life history in connection with a travel talk she was giving in Peekskill, NY.

One of 6 (so far posted) Bain photos of the Emergency Service Corps, which ran a 3 week training camp for 30 society girls in Pompton Lake, NJ, in June, 1916. It was a women's military training organization, meant to rival a similar "preparedness" camp for men in Plattsburgh, NY. (See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens'_Military_Training_Camp).
It was held on the estate of Edward Ringwood Hewitt, and run by his daughter, Candace Hewitt.
