I'm not sure who "Helene", the zaftig subject of most of these photos, is -- but she and her lady-friends know how to have some fun. Compared to the cabinet photos of the period, these are surprisingly candid and friendly, and were clearly taken on "lady's outings," informal time spent with her friends.
