[A Daughter of To-Day by Sara Jeannette Duncan (aka Mrs. Everard Cotes)]@TWC D-Link bookA Daughter of To-Day CHAPTER XII 10/15
Mrs. Tommy Morrow should meet her in the dressing-room, as a concession to the prejudices of society. "Mrs.Tommy is a brilliant woman in her way," Mr.Ticke added; "she edits the _Boudoir_--I might say she created the _Boudoir_.
