In this particular case, on the
testified diffiderence and lack of
resolution of a needy suitor, she had
advised bringing an unsatisfactory
“understanding” to an end, and the
accepting of a wealthy, if elderly,
admirer. And the passionate cry of
the discarded one: “To Hell With
Molly Molloy! You might have given
me a white man's chance to make
good!” borne through strange chan
nels to her ears, made her so sick
at heart that she threw up a good
position and went to visit an old col
lege chum in Los Angeles, Later,
liking the1 new environment, she
sought to re-enter the newspaper
world, but finding conditions diffi
cult in the Pacific Coast city, went
pro tcm into the receiving depart
ment of a drygoods store as a book
keeper. And there, in the1 course of
the following year, she made the ac
quaintance of Charlotte Boshyshell
and Richard Appleton.
