These two girls are unidentified. I can't really see a resemblance between either of these and Mable. Perhaps they are cousins or friends.

Both girls are nicely dressed, and both wear jewelry — necklaces and bracelets, and the girl at right even has rings.

This photo was probably taken in a photographer's studio: the decorated swing, the room devoid of furniture. Judging from the simplicity of their hairstyles and dresses, the giant hair bows and the low lace-up shoes, I'm inclined to date this to perhaps the early 1910s.
