Ball of Fashion Brings Shackles of Debt to a Family
In a Boston Globe society tale, Mrs Lanagan hosts a grand ball on Fifth Avenue to debut twin daughters. Financial strain shadows the event as Mr Gregory frets over mounting bills and a looming bankruptcy while Bertha mulls a costly new dress and Lena eyeing a romance with Hugh Ainsley. Bertha’s practical sacrifice wins her suitor, and the story ends with an engagement and public wedding plans.
