Burgess, (Frank) Gelett. Little sister of destiny. †$1.50. Houghton.
Margaret Million is a wealthy young heiress who plays the rôle of chorus girl, cashier, manicure, artist’s model, and serving maid in order to befriend and help less fortunate girls. Her Lady Bountiful methods demand that her beneficiaries never know the source of their good fortune—the idea of mystery enhancing the fairy-tale aspect of the book.
“The stories of her experiences are entertaining in spite of their unlikeliness.”
