[Transcriber's Notes:]
Added table of contents.
Cover image may be clicked to view larger version.
The copy of the book used to produce this electronic edition was missing the back cover, which most likely would have contained an advertisement listing other titles from the Hart Series.
Normalized "Aïda," "fiancé" and "portière" to consistently include accent marks throughout the text.
Changed four instances of "to-night" to "tonight" for consistency.
Some questionable spellings (e.g. "balmly") have been retained from the original.
Page 8, changed "you" to "your" in "ruin your own life."
Page 15, changed "To-morrow" to "Tomorrow" for consistency with all other occurrences of the word in the text.
