This painting is inspired by George Claussen’s “original’ idea of employing “a lady who could assist the housewives with their problems.” Mrs. Mary Babbitt had the title of Dietician/Hostess and her work was deemed “beneficial to milady in deciding her menus for bridge luncheons, teas, parties… or entertainment…”

Who’s that girl? Not sure of her name but this girl had a look and I took her photo to work from. When I am sitting at the easel painting, I can look back at the photo and dream up the whole story of this girl in the coffee shop - and then name her. Margaret it is.
