Thank you Paula for that last colour photo - sorry for delay in replying.
China - re the fashion - Aunt Maggie was born about 1882.  (I suppose a woman could appear to be behind in fahion if she wears her older sister's dress.)
Happy New Year to you all!
Genieweb.

Hi Genie,
Auntie Maggie looks very young, quite probably it's not a handed down dress, just one in a style that was on the way out, while another style was coming in.....
