Title: Media Centennial Celebration. Women's Day. Open house at Media Women's Club
Date: 1950-06-08
Description: "Approximately 250 women, many of them dressed in clothes of earlier years, gathered at the clubhouse to chat, drink tea, and view arts and crafts exhibits." (Chester Times, June 9, 1950). Left to right: May Valentinis-Dee, Mrs. Harold White, Mrs. Frank Hamilton, nee Jane Ottey Baker; unknown; Mrs. Richard Alexander, nee Eleanor Destler. Someone with a better knowledge of fabrics and fashion could probably correlate more of the Chester Times dress descriptions with the women in this series of photographs. Some of these women may have appeared later on the parade float shown in ZM-3518.
