CORELLI

[2] Marie, an old-maid authoress who wrote delightful
love scenes. She is said to have written some books which
brought her fame and royalty.  C. does not approve of society
except her own.  She remains secluded with her typewriter at
Mason Croft, Stratford-on-Avon, only being seen by her
publishers and the editor.  Publications:  See book stores and
railway stations.  Recreation:  Flowers.  Clubs:  All
anti-suffragette.

[2] Ed.  Note:  The editor hopes to remove this name before the
next edition. Its insertion is entirely due to the machinations
of book reviewers, who claim Miss Corelli's books have fallen
into the "was" class. The editor never contradicts a book
reviewer.
