The Girl from Prosperity in a New York Barber Shop
James B Carroll, a Prosperity, Indiana youth, visits a Manhattan barber shop where Manicure Girl Bessie Williams and others tease him for his fresh start. He spends with a Broadway crowd, boasts of gains in stocks and grains, and chases a distant Prosperity bride, only to face loss and a sheriff’s endgame as his New York education uncovers the limits of luck.
