Perhaps they were spending time at the nudist “colonies” of the day with friends and neighbors that they serve on PTA with. Some might be sitting in church having a clear vision of what Mrs Smith looks like under that fine skirt and crinoline. Mrs Jones knowing that Elder Jones has in his trousers. And they live a secret life on weekends and long summer vacations.
A myriad of speculation of the divergence this hobby and the times they lived in.

I suspect their friends in the PTA and church knew nothing of their secret lifestyle. Even today that is the case for many/most nudists; hence the use of first names only.
My wife and I were recently at a small nudist resort and met an older woman there who, if she was dressed, would have looked like any grandma you'd see in church. Probably wouldn't give her a second look. Yet here she was walking around completely nude with a killer tan. I found that dichotomy extra sexy for some reason.
