Hutten, Baroness von. Pam. [†]$1.50. Dodd.
The story of Pamela Yeoland whose mother, Lord Yeoland’s daughter, outrages her family by eloping with a popular tenor who deserted his wife and family for her. They live happily, however, in Bohemia, among disreputable and brilliant associates. Little Pam, at the age of ten, is taken from these surroundings by an apparently respectable grandfather, and her observations of her new and conventional life lead her to the conclusion that marriage is both undesirable and unhappy. This belief colors her own love affairs. The book closes when she is still young and her future is undetermined.
“A novel of considerable psychological insight. The book, though written with a light touch, deals subtly with some deep questions.” Frederic Taber Cooper.

“Is quite as interesting from its logical working out of a problem in social ethics as it is for its strong character sketching and literary style.”

“It is interesting, even sinfully interesting. To the thoughtful reader ‘Pam’ holds both an immoral and a moral.”
