From a female perspective... the length of the young lady's skirt and style of her jacket indicates during or just preWWI. And no that isn't a conductor's baton - far too thick and too long if there is more of it under her arm.
The couple... her dress indicates late nineteenth century. I'm wonderig whether he is not a soldier but perhaps a musician in a band with a military style uniform? Obviously not well to do - look at the holes in the lace curtains and in the front of the woman's dress!
