Sex isn't like warm milk. You can't just gulp it down to make you sleepy.
-- from The Form Divine (1951)
Hildegarde Dolson Lockridge was born and raised in Franklin, PA. She grew up in the age of flappers, attended Allegheny College in Meadville, PA, and started her work life in Depression-era NYC. And she wrote. And wrote and wrote and wrote, thereby becoming Franklin's most successful published author. Articles, novels, and even a play, from the 1930's through the 1970's. As I write this, there is real Dolson scholarship going on out there. But in the meantime, enjoy these tidbits from her work.
