I have searched to the point of wearing out my bifocals yet I cannot find an O. Henry piece referenced in a book entitled The Saleslady.
Frances Donovan has a footnote in chapter 18 for an O. Henry writing bearing the title "A Lick Penny Lover", 1908. The chapter is on shopgirls and how they live: "The girls who live at home, a few of them, may be living under the conditions described by O. Henry but, in an age when there is so high a percentage of automobiles..."
Not much to go on, but perhaps one of you might have a lead for me.
Thanks so much,
