Eleanor Butler Alexander in 1903, aged 14. The full glory of her costume does not show. She wore a blue serge sailor suit, a covert cloth jacket and a hat trimmed with a bunch of cherries and a red velvet bow. On her feet were orthopedic shoes, to one of which was attached a brace to cure a floating cartilage in her right knee.
