Happy Birthday!

 Bette Smith was born on December 15, 1896
Photographed above on  February 7, 1945,  wearing mink in front of the Williamsburg home and tree that inspired her iconic 1943 novel "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn."

As I've said before about Willa Cather,  I am a better person for having read Bette Smith.
