EDITORS COMMENTS
**A Snapshot in Time: Mrs. Hitt and Mrs. Longworth's Joyous Moment**
In this charming black-and-white photograph taken by George Grantham Bain of the renowned Bain News Service, two esteemed ladies - Katherine Elkins Hitt (Mrs. Hitt) and Alice Roosevelt Longworth (Mrs. Longworth) - share a laugh-filled moment in 1912.
The image captures Mrs. Hitt's warm smile as she gazes at her friend, while Mrs. Longworth's eyes sparkle with amusement, suggesting the two women were enjoying each other's company immensely. The relaxed atmosphere and effortless laughter convey a sense of camaraderie and trust between these prominent American ladies.
Mrs. Katherine Elkins Hitt was an influential figure in Washington society circles, known for her philanthropic efforts and social standing. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, on the other hand, was a celebrated author, actress, and wife to Nicholas Longworth - a powerful politician who served as Speaker of the House.
This photograph not only provides insight into their friendship but also offers a glimpse into the lives of these remarkable women during an era marked by social change and cultural evolution. The image has been preserved in its original form at the Library of Congress, serving as a testament to Bain News Service's commitment to capturing significant moments in American history.
