From an era when an outfit was incomplete without a hat.
I love the flashing of the "play money", and I know those are the same curtains that hung in my grandmother's home.

They're having fun, and it was for a good cause. Another great photo; thanks!

I'm trying to imagine how such a group of women would be dressed today. They'd probably all be hanging loose in a glitzy baseball cap, a high-end sweatsuit, and designer high-tops. But by all appearances, these ladies of old were certainly having a blast playing to your camera. The punch was probably spiked, too, and I wouldn't be surprised if they forced you to have some.
