Notes:	"This is one of the poorest of Mrs. Stephens' stories, but is of interest because it is founded upon the life of Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, the great New Orleans heiress, although the latter said (Girls of Today, No. 9) that there was much more fiction than fact in the story. A short biography of Mrs. Gaines, by Mrs. Ellet, appeared in Belles and Beaux, No. 1, January 31, 1874. There is a portrait of Mrs. Gaines and a review of the case in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, IV, 1877, 89, and a portrait of General Gaines and biographies of both him and his wife in Appletons Cyclopedia of American Biography, New York, 1887, II, 571-573. See also The Famous Case of Myra Clark Gaines, by Nolan B. Harmon, Jr., published by the Louisiana State University Press, 1946, and New Orleans Woman, by Harnett T. Kane, New York, 1946."--Johannsen, A. House of Beadle and Adams and its dime and nickel novels
