stitute not only the most worthless
people on earth but are also the most
mischievous. The smart set of a great
city is set down here in faithful

rest. The novel Is an epitome of the
class Of women who are the victims
Of certain conditions-the possession
Of wealth to which no reasonable
adjustments have yet been made, the
multifarious pleasure lying just out
