LILIAN ALDRICH (wife of Thomas Bailey Aldrich)

A strange and vanity-devoured, detestable woman! I do not believe I could learn to like her except on a raft at sea with no other provisions in sight. - dictation, 3 July 1908, Autobiography of Mark Twain, Vol. 3 (2015)

Mark Twain's comment on Lilian Aldrich is reminiscent of an advertisement for Plasmon, a food substance for which he was an investor.
This ad appeared in the ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, January 16, 1904.
