“A rattling good story. Wholesome, sweet-spirited, well planned, absorbing.”—Chicago Record-Herald.
“Admirably constructed. Interesting episodes succeed each other and the frothy and clever dialogue of the fashionable butterflies of the New York smart set is wittily flippant and amusing. It is a capital novel. The real depths of human feeling are treated with fine emotional power.”—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
“The most distinguished society novel for a long time and one of the most dramatic.”—Hartford Courant.
“As up-to-date as the steam yacht. More than ordinarily pleasing.”—Brooklyn Eagle.

In this new novel the author treats his readers to a splendid story of society and studio life in New York city. It is a novel that holds attention from the first, having all the interest and fascination of a Chambers society story, with the added charm of the gay artists’ life in a great city with its frank camaraderie, witty small talk and undisguised disregard of convention.
