I like the elegance of Ada's full length portrait.

Ada is so lovely in the first photo. She and Ernest look like a comfortable and happy couple in the next one. And there she she, an elderly woman all dressed up. A short summary of a life in words and photos.

Suzassippi, I have questioned if this was her wedding dress.
