Description
Ellen (front) and her younger sister, Barbara, are playing on their family's estate in their swimsuits. The family lives in Brucemore, an expansive estate, which made for a generous playground for these young girls. Warm afternoons could be spent splashing in the pool, playing tennis (there was a tennis court on the grounds) or canoeing around the pond.
