While one or two of these women resemble subjects in the District convention photos, that doesn't mean anything if they are Hobart residents. I can't identify the house behind them; looks like a frame house with a block porch. That porch certain looks inviting — shaded, open to breezes, with that nice swing.

Now, with this second photo, I'm more inclined to say it's the convention again (June 17-18, 1918), because of those little boxes the women are carrying. Lunch boxes? I don't know, but many of the female conventioneers seemed to be equipped with them.
I'm sure you all recognize the Hobart Public Library behind them.
This photo is a bit more formal than the other convention photos; all the young ladies are wearing their hats. The woman at center looks a bit like Miss Nickel Plate, but really, without her characteristic smile, I'm not sure.

I noticed a box in a previous pic....could they be carrying box cameras??? Don't know if this was an affordable thing in 1918!
Hmmm ... I don't know enough about historical cameras to even guess.
