I think Roger may be on the right track. If not Queen Victoria, maybe another member of European royalty?

Not Queen Victoria, but very close. The lady was royal, and the lady was traveling.

One of Victoria's daughters?
RE: Who is this lady? - Susan Higginbotham - 11-23-2019 12:39 PM
Yes, one of her daughters.

Well, that leaves me three choices: My first guess would be the first-born child of Victoria and Albert, Victoria, Princess Royal. However, she married very high up on the German tree and would ultimately be the wife of German Emperor Frederick III. Would such royalty be shopping on her own as the clue suggests?
From the little that I have read about Victoria's children, I think Princess Alice (who only became a German Grand Duchess) would have been my favorite, so I'll make her guess #2 -- followed by Princess Beatrice, who appears to have been somewhat of a brat.
BTW: Just last week, I stumbled upon the following site that gives a good crash course in Victoria and Albert's children https://www.historyextra.com/period/victorian/queen-victoria-prince-albert-children-who-names-sons-daughters-facts-motherhood-parents/

I'm guessing that Laurie's #2 is correct ... Princess Alice. But I have to quibble over the "who only became a German Grand Duchess". If we're correct that it was Alice, then Mary Lincoln was eye-to-eye with a great grandmother of Prince Phillip, Queen Elizabeth's husband, and so a great great grandmother of the next King of the British Commonwealth.

Laurie had it right the first time! It was Victoria, Princess Royal, at that point the Crown Princess of Prussia.

Hint #1: She wrote something that has been mentioned at least once on this forum.

I don't think it's her but, Ruth Randall ?
RE: Who is this lady? - RJNorton - 02-14-2020 08:59 AM
Very good try, Gene, but it's not Ruth Painter Randall.

Could it be Margaret Leech?
Bob

That's a very good guess, Bob, but it is not Margaret Leech.
