The rest of the story?
There appears to be more to this story than the caption implies. She's wearing a diamond ring and the magazine is addressed to John Mueller of Penasco, NM.
The High Road to Taos
Penasco is along the "High Road" to Taos. Its beauty is almost magical. It's a wonderful getaway from the city, but I can see how a young woman would want to be in a more lively and urban locale.
The American Magazine
The American Magazine was one of the most popular periodicals in its day. It was of particular interest to my family because of a feature article about my father's WWII tank warfare experiences in North Africa that appeared just 6 months after the issue the young lady is reading.
