From Mystic Tea Room
The Sun Parlor Tea Room at the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA), Dallas, Texas, circa 1920; postcard front; note the open-weave rattan furnishings, which are similar to those found in the 1908 view of the Copper Kettle Tea Room in Los Angeles,
California; the presence of a bed in the middle of a tea room is unique to this photo; the implication is that it was placed there for the use of someone in the YWCA who was infirm but was still considered a member of the tea room's social set
