“To my dear sister with all my love, Adelaide.” Photographer unknown. Photo found at a flea market. It is technically magnificent.
I don’t know, but Adelaide looks like she might be a tango dancer. I can imagine Carlos Gardel singing this tango while Adelaide and her partner glide around the dance floor in some intimate corner of Buenos Aires. (If this music sounds familiar, it may be because Al Pacino, playing a blind Army officer, danced the tango to this song with a gorgeous young lady in the movie “Scent of a Woman.”)
Adelaide is a mystery woman. Can you think of who she might be? —-Paul @Blogfinger (we also wrote about her in 2012)

She was a mystery writer. Her pen name was Agatha Christie! Mystery cloaked in mystery!
