Scope and content
Mrs. James Hayes, made up in black face, remarks in the mirror at her resemblance to the "Mammy" doll sitting on the dressing table. The dolls were made by the Spinster Club members to decorate the tables at their 5th annual Dixie Ball in May of 1943. The other two women are Katherine Foss and Penny (Mrs.H. J.) Croteau. The ball would be held at the Roof Garden at the Hotel Winthrop. The 1943 ball was a benefit for the Army/ Navy Relief Fund. (T.Times 5/5/1943,pg.4)
