Hazel Reiber: 1913

Tai Chi

1913 style.

 

Beach Boots...

Miss (or Mrs.?) Reiber is sporting the latest word in canvas bathing shoes; I believe they were required to be worn by women on most "respectable" beaches in this era. I have actually seen a few old pairs for sale on ebay.

 

Steeeee-Rike !!

Looks like a real soppy summer beach set of Sand-Lot baseball.

 

Nice Wind Up!

Looks like she is out for a day of baseball on the beach. It appears the photographer caught her in action.

Are those baseball shoes???

 

Nice shoes

If you're wrestling. And not at the beach.

 

On the Beach

Why is there a septic vent behind Hazel? Where does she get replacements for the laces on her shoes? Could she possibly be a female boxer? What a gal!
