Sorry in the Sixties

Found photo

Do grown women really play the game Sorry?  I can’t quite remember the rules, since it has been about sixty plus years (no kidding) since I last played.  This was apparently an afternoon for games, with Sorry substituting for Bridge.  Maybe they sent the children outside and took over their fun.

These two older women offer different styles, although I’m not sure what the correct attire is for an afternoon of board games.  The one on the right with the cigarette is casually dressed in what appears to be a shirtwaist dress.  I hope that she isn’t the guest who discovered to her horror that she was under dressed for the occasion. Her companion, by contrast, has on a sheath dress accessorized with a necklace and earrings.  Is this her everyday outfit or did she have somewhere else to go after the game?
