By
MARY INLAY TAYLOR,
A WASHINGTON NOVEL
BY
A WASHINGTON WOMAN
Begins Serial Publication in
The Sunday Star.

The Impersonator" will
prove of exceptional interest to
Washingtonians. Its setting,
the teas, receptions, balls,
musical at the White House
and happenings in COMPRESSION
al galleries and committee
rooms will be recognized by
one class of readers and seized
upon with eager curiosity by
another that has known only
the outside of administrative
and diplomatic circles. And the
story itself compels attention.
Mary Lang, the daughter of an
actress, and fresh from a Pari-
sian convent, at the request of
May Hadding, comes to Wash
ington in her place in answer to
the invitation of an aunt, a
leader in society and an auto
crat. The humor and satire
with which social life in the
capital and the ramifcations of
political intrigue are treated
should give the book a de-
served popularity, even if the
charming love story and sur
prising denouement did not add
an exceptional degree of inter-
est. There is a sprightliness of
wit and a control of plot which
keep the reader absorbed to
the end.
