Rose Greenhow?

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

The pic is very small and a little blurred, so I am guessing Ida Tarbell.

That is a wonderful guess, Joe, and you are on the right track (the lady was a writer), but it's not Ida Tarbell.

Bingo, Susan! Very good. I really like her books, and I think my favorite is Lincoln's Sons. I think one of the reasons for this is that the book has an index, something that many of her books do not have.

Yay, that was a complete guess!

Which lady mentioned on this forum from time to time is being described here?

"Is a young lady in years and appearance, of medium size, pleasant manner, and frank, cordial address,
not petite, yet handsome, and withal a woman of attractive social qualities."

No, but with Mary Lincoln you're getting close.
