A little unhappy

She doesn't seem too thrilled at this age, either.

The Wedding of Alice's Parents

One of the smartest, but smallest, weddings of the Winter took place yesterday afternoon in the Church of the Ascension when Miss Alice de Goicouria, younger daughter of Albert de Goicouria, was married to August Belmont, Jr., elder son of August Belmont.

Both families were in mourning at the time of the wedding, she for her mother and he for his uncle. It is noted that the bride wore her veil in a "totally new fashion."

NY Times 1906

History appears to be silent on the subject of Alice the younger.

[Alice was an aspiring musician whose artistic ambitions were thwarted by her family. More later. - Dave]

Beauty

Does anyone know what breed of pony Beauty might be?

Who wouldn't love a pony?

Now we know!

Go Ask Alice

Let this be a lesson, ponies do not lead to happiness.
