Summary: Assorted photographs of female office workers lunching in Rittenhouse Square.

These girls from nearby office buildings have found a more than satisfactory answer to the problem by lunching al fresco beneath the beautiful blossoms in Rittenhouse sq. They are members of an informal 'club' of 50 or 60 girls who bring their lunches to the square every pretty day. Left to right: Marion Bauer, Evelyn Huber, Emily Krauss, and Dorothy Mays."
