A comic column by May Futrelle, with illustrations by V L Barnes, features light satire on society roles and humorous misunderstandings in a playful tone.
Orphan sisters Louie and Laura chase a living after their father’s death. Louise becomes Mrs. Hazard’s secretary of frivolous affairs, meddling in social circles, a jewel theft scare, and romantic entanglements with Hap Hazard, Winthrop Abbott, and Duc de Trouville. A jewel bracelet and a suspected thief drive suspicion as identities unfold.
Jo arrives and asserts independence in a tense social evening. Loulie confides Natalie’s jewel theft case and a possible mine stock sale as Jo contemplates turning dressmaking into a business to fund their future. Jo hints at a dangerous gamble to end Loulie’s detective life while John Crowninshield’s interest stirs.
