What women did

Lake Worth’s Ladies Kitchen Band – 1912 Mr. and Mrs. J.L. McKissock were the organizers. Note the variety of “instruments” as well as the hats and dresses. Given the lack of formal entertainment, groups formed to make their own – sewing (for the troops), knitting, cooking, music, etc.
