The diversions of high society, circa 1905


A large crowd of men and woman, all wearing formal evening clothes, three women wearing short red dresses have secured the attentions of several young men, to the chagrin of others, during an intermission or after a "comic opera at Mrs. Van Varick-Shadd's". A painted scene in the background show nude women cavorting at seaside.
