Hope Loring
Excerpt from Hope Loring
It was both pretty and touching to see the fingers of the little tots vainly struggle with buttonhole and embroidery stitch in order to begin on the fairy fabrics which would eventually form their wedding raiment.
TO this school Mrs. Loring confided her little daughter Ho'pe when the Lorings went to New York to live. The Older daughter, Sallie, who had spent four years with Mme. St. Cloud, went with her par ents, and was given a year at Miss Gordon's before being taken abroad.

About a woman that attends a boarding school in New Orleans and then moves to NYC where she is so wrapped up in Princeton football that she can not even attend to her debutant party.
Her father's creditors come to him requesting that he pay his debts, he has no funds so she aspires to assist. Inn the process she is hurt and loses her memory? Surreal. Written in 1902 this has significant anti-ethnic content.
