Emma McChesney's illness and a bold career turn
Emma McChesney falls ill while traveling with the T. A. Buck Featherloom Petticoat line in Glen Rock Minnesota. After a fevered spell she recovers with support from hotel staff and travelers, then is surprised by her son Jock arriving. He reads her letters, confesses a desire to quit touring and pursue advertising in business, and urges college before joining Featherloom work.
