black in the face about it. How they did yell! Whew!” She would later downplay her time with the Tribune, referring to it as “pinch hitting”, while simultaneously claiming that a number of readers thought she was “the best music critic the Tribune had ever had”. During her tenure with the Chicago Tribune, she reviewed symphony and opera performances, as well as recitals by local musicians. She often attended two performances per day, filing reviews of each. In a 1922 article, she references a broken shoulder that required the 1921-1922 musical season to heal. Thereafter, she moved to New York City. Following her year with the Tribune, she returned to writing for the Saturday Evening Post and began submitting to the Ladies’ Home Journal. Her emphasis with the Saturday Evening Post was on the music business; she argued in 1923 that, “What the industry of music really needs is a widespread presentation of both sides of the artistic curtain, back stage [sic] as well as out front”. Her articles advocate for professional music education for American youth in order to adequately prepare them for American orchestras, detailed in particular in “Cost of a Career” (1924) and in her support of the Civic Music Students’ Orchestra of Chicago. In March 1924, Miller moved to Sandwich, Massachusetts and renovated a colonial-era home, which she profiled in a Saturday Evening Post article. She was named an honorary member of the Cape Cod Press Club in 1925. A trip to France in 1927 yielded the translation of A Century of Fashion by fashion designer Jean Philippe Worth. Between 1925 and 1927, she published three pieces with the Ladies’ Home Journal, one romantic short story about music titled “Jazz Enthroned” and two articles warning of the dangers of divorce and its links to child criminality. Chicago historian and music critic Hannah Edgar writes that Miller’s relationship to the editors at the Saturday Evening Post and the Ladies’ Home Journal eventually became strained, with correspondence describing “an acrimonious falling-out, with one missive alluding to Miller’s ‘unfortunate attitude’”. Her last contribution to the Ladies’ Home Journal was in 1927. Her home in Sandwich was foreclosed on in 1934 due to delinquent tax payments. Edgar reports that Miller was evicted; she traced Miller’s subsequent whereabouts to Chincoteague, Virginia, where she lived until her death in 1984. Publications Jean Philippe Worth.
