This photo is from a ladies high tea at the Pakistan High Commissioner's Residence given by Begum Zubaida Yousuf for Begum Ayub Khan in 1959/60.
The central figure is the Royal Ballet's originally Russian prima ballerina assoluta Svetlana Beriosova, who even in this 'informal' setting is spontaneously graceful from top to toe. To the left is Mrs. Ruhafza Hyder, Deputy High Commissioner's wife and a moving spirit behind both the High Commission Ladies' Association and APWA.
