A Leaf From the Lifetime of a Belle Susie Sunflower
In a faded Dispatch page, Mattie Love, a village beauty, rises from rustic youth to society heiress. Her mother and aunt warn of vanity as Thaddeus Prince fades, and an indulgent uncle opens a grand mansion. Attentions from suitors sharpen. Prudence and Miss Prim plot, while Mattie enjoys her first glittering society night and writes a long letter detailing her ascent. The tale continues.
