I've never heard of these! But this caught my eye:

Nell Huxleigh, a Respectable Parson's Daughter whom Irene discovers in danger of living on the streets in the first chapter and immediately carries off and deposits in her apartment to live there forever and narrate all her adventures.

Wonderful!

...ok I have to talk a little more about the gratuitous Oscar Wilde cameos because there are so many of them

I'm dying! And totally going to see if I can hunt these down!

(You have a gift of finding delightful-sounding books, btw. Following this journal was one of my best moves!)
