Brainerd, Eleanor Hoyt. [In vanity fair: a tale of frocks and femininity.] *$1.50. Moffat.
“A bright, chatty, and quite superficial account of certain phases of Parisian life, such as many newspaper people could throw off, and not a few could do better.” (N. Y. Times.) “She calls her views snapshots of the inner courts of Vanity fair, and the representation must be viewed entirely apart from any moral or ideal sentiment. Frocks, dining, races, sport, hunting, fashionable Paris in its most extravagant follies, with Americans following hard after, make up the record.” (Outlook.)
