The Milliner's Apprentice and the False Teeth Tale
In a Philadelphia tale from The Lady's Book, Caroline Archer, poor but dutiful daughter to a widowed mother, endures hardship as a milliner’s apprentice while nursing family needs. A courting scene with a handsome client leads to social pressures and a near tragedy in a cemetery visit, where Mrs Wharton contemplates losing her prized teeth and youth in a collision of love and vanity.
