CLUE for #4

This author is represented on the Gaslight website thru her ghost stories. Her forte, however, was stories about the upper-class American society into which she was born. She eventually won a Pulitzer Prize.

Here is a different, better known promotional photograph of her.

  The author is Edith Wharton as was correctly guessed by Kay Douglas and Lauryn Angel-Cann. Congratulations.

Here are the Gaslight etexts of Edith Wharton:
• "The Lady's Maid's Bell" (1902)
• "Afterward" (1910)

Here are more links to Edith Wharton sites:
• The Edith Wharton Society
• The Edith Wharton Restoration: a concerned group who are restoring The Mount, Wharton's specially designed house; also presenting some information about the author.
• A simpler, tho not as current, overview of the project is available HERE.
