A black-and-white photo of two women sitting on the floor in a room with patterned wallpaper. The woman on the left, with dark curly hair, is wearing a light-colored dress and is holding a baby in a white sleeper. The woman on the right, also with dark curly hair, is wearing a checkered dress and holding a baby who is drinking from a bottle. In the background, framed photos hang on the wall, along with a calendar for June. A curtained window is visible behind the woman on the right. Text overlay reads: "I want a wife who arranges for their schooling, makes sure they have an adequate social life...."
Alice again with her sister, Ella May, and their boys, Jimmy and Bobby, in Bellaire, MI, 1953.
