Wordless Wednesday #1: Caroline Schmitz Gillen (1888-1959)


What is "Wordless Wednesday?"  On Wednesdays all over the internet, bloggers post a photograph with no words to explain it on their blog. Hence the ‘wordless’ title. The idea is that the photo itself says so much that it doesn’t need any description.
