#3 The pearls were a nice choice. A little cleavage would've gone a long way too.

#4 The photograph is that of "Miss Inez Thomas of Dallas, Texas." Who represented her city as the Duchess of Dallas at the 1916 San Antonio Fiesta

Inez was the daughter of a multimillionaire Dallas businessman Mike Huffman Thomas, who had seven children with his wife, Emma Moss Thomas. Beginning in her high school years, Inez was constantly in the social news, and her attendance at parties, teas, and dances was reported. She attended a two-year college in Washington D. C., Fairmont Seminary. She graduated in 1915 and returned to Dallas to make her debut as an Idlewild debutante in fall 1915. She was participant at the 1916 Fiesta San Antonio, where she acquired the title of Duchess. She continued her life as a socialite, constantly giving parties at her home or at the Dallas County Club.
At the age of 33 years old (1926) Inez married Joseph William Rubush, a man 5 years her junior, at the East Dallas Christian Church. Mr. Rubush, who was a veteran of World War I had received the Croix de Guerre for his services. During World War II he served three years as a captain in the Chemical Warfare Service. He committed suicide on 18 November 1948 at age 51. Their only child Sharon made her debut as an Idlewild debutante in 1949. In 1950 Sharon married Thomas Walter Blake, Jr.
Inez re-married in the 1950's (date unknown) to a gentleman, Mr. (FNU) Schubert. Inez Thomas Rubush Schubert died July 23, 1974. At the time of her death she was resident on Lomo Alto Drive, Fort Worth, a member of Lovers Lane Methodist Dallas, Texas.

For Jpal -

It is likely Inez Thomas was a patron of Neiman-Marcus, which was founded in 1907. I'm certain this gorgeous and elegant lady was a valued and regular patron! By looking at the cut of her dress and associated accessories, Inez was also a fashion leader in her social circle.
In Dallas, Inez likely danced fox trots and waltzes, maybe even the Charleston, to the music of Jimmie Joy's Baker Hotel Orchestra as well as Jack and Fred Gardeners' Orchestras; While she was in San Antonio, she would have danced at the St. Anthony Hotel to the same bands because they played in both venues with the names of the hotels changed where appropriate.

For M. Murcek

Knows her Nose

Portrait of one fine-looking Texan, made all the more so by her realization that a slight tilt up minimizes the effect of a generously-sized nose. Note the focal point is right at her irises; everything else is soft.
And perhaps M. Murcek has had this 'passing thought':

Oh, to be the Duke to such a Duchess.

"Another ladle of Tex-Mex chili to go with your Pearls lager, m'lady?"
