Scope and content
Governor Arthur B. Langlie bends to kiss his mother, Mrs. Carrie Langlie, on Inauguration Day, 1949. Dressed in formal tails, he busses her on the cheek while holding her hand. Mrs. Langlie was 75 years old and a resident of Seattle at the time of her son's Inaugural Ball. She was dressed in a hyacinth blue Chantilly lace with a peony design worn over taffeta. Her gown had a softly squared neckline and long lace sleeves. A large orchid corsage complemented her dress. Her granddaughter and namesake, Carrie Ellen Langlie, daughter of Governor and Mrs. Langlie, also participated in official festivities that evening. (TNT 1-13-49, p. 12) ALBUM 10.
