Susan Carey Enters a Charmed City Studio Scene
Susan Carey, an orphan living with Aunt Jessie on Chicago’s west side, finishes business school and accepts secretarial work for Ernest Heath. A moody admirer Ben Lampman arrives as Aunt Jessie sponsors him, and Susan attends a crowded, artsy studio party at the Strinsky residence in a north side brownstone, where jazz, modern talk, and a striking Denise hint at future clashes.
