A Novel Dealing with the Life of the Rich in New York
By JOHN D. BARRY
Author of "The Congressman's Wife," "Mademoiselle Blanche," "A Daughter of Thespis," etc.
Now in its Second Edition. Crown Octavo. Cloth, $1.50.
It is one of the most interesting descriptions of modern society since "The Breadwinners," supposed to be written by John Hay. A witty and cleverly drawn picture, as sure in its touch and as effective in its results as a Gibson drawing.
Town and Country.
The book will attract the "initiated" because the author has caught the real key-note.
The Independent.
Exceedingly clever in many ways. Although it is a really brilliant satire, there is no bitterness. On the contrary, an air of almost blissful good-humor pervades every page.
