I think she is wearing a kind of veil, as are several other women.

  I thought it was a veil also. This was France, so it could have been someone from one of their colonies at the time?

    Old French (and Italian and Portuguese and etc) women commonly wear veils/babushkas, even today.

      They're wearing a veil that covers the entire face though. Eyes included- I assume a very thin see-through veil.

        yes it's a see-through veil to protect their faces from the sun.

          Of course, sunscreen will be invented only in 1936! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunscreen#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunscreen#History
