Here are Adah P. Laraway, Debbie Cooper, and Ida Laraway modeling their finest hats on the front steps of the Laraway house at 214 Front Street in Hood River. The boy is Thurston Laraway.
My goodness, what a clear photo! But such stifling clothing.
That is quite the ring Mrs. Laraway is wearing.

I wonder what the occasion was. Any guesses what time of year? Looks later in the year than Easter Sunday. Maybe this was normal Sunday church dress. Hopefully it was a cool season, wouldn't want to be dressed like that in the heat of summer.

Maybe some of the garments are dust coats to protect their clothing.
They must be getting ready to go for a car ride, as this photo shows.
