Roberts, Morley. [Lady Penelope.] [†]$1.50. Page.
The lady Penelope Brading, orphaned daughter of an English earl and an American heiress, is a young woman of ideas, and ideals. From a host of suitors, and there are many as she possesses all things save a sense of humor, she chooses eight; a poet, a captain, a successful Jew, a young nobleman, a war correspondent, a balloonist, an artist, and an American millionaire, and puts them in training, finally announcing that she has married one of them secretly. Each pretends to be the one and the reader is thoroly mystified even when a baby arrives to further complicate the situation.
