Mrs. Jones’s boarding house and the tempting trap
A widow recalls fourteen years since Anthony’s death and her decision to take in boarders to make ends meet. A rough pair of boarders bring theft and danger, the case revealing counterfeiters and the loss of money and jewelry, steering her toward caution in future housing ventures. She later learns Hetty has married Silas Hubert, a man who bears a likeness to her late husband, and contemplates moving to the South with them while preserving her memory of Anthony.

One Clever Woman Runs Nine Weekly Papers
In South Boston a single owner controls nine weekly papers aimed at New England towns. She began five years ago with five papers after a male partner faltered, but she took charge, employing only young women as staff. The proprietor writes editorials herself and promotes bright, nontraditional coverage focused on women’s interests without limiting to women’s news.
