The caption on the back of the picture reads: 'Aides at playground picnic at Luna Park'. My guess is that these ladies are teacher aides for the playgrounds. Even when I was little. City schools used to have a summer playground program - that all of us enjoyed. We'd ride our bikes down to Bheam school - spend a couple hours there, go across the street to get candy and pop - then go home and play kick the can until it got too dark to see.
This photo dates to around 1918.

Too bad there are no more places like this around here anymore. What ever possessed them to drain it and put in baseball fields?!?!
