    Pasadena's little known 1925 swine flu research team?

    I'm guessing this has something to do with a small pox scare.

    These are women who were owned by their husbands. These are men who apparently forbade them to speak in public.

    I'm going to take a wild guess: volunteers at a hospice for TB.

    This is the Ladies Auxillary of the OTO on the day that Mrs. Garfield (First Lady) keeled over while having tea at the Rose Tree Cottage. They didn't properly refrigerate the clotted cream. Tsk. Poor dear. Smelly business that. just ask Cabot & Sons.
