the affecting development of the story is no less striking than is the
author’s ability to fix in words the peculiar “color” of the places in
which the scenes are laid.

12mo, $1.25.
“Miss Gilder’s long acquaintance with New York journalism has fully
equipped her for writing this novel. No one knows better than she
the ins and outs of this life, the picturesque and the seamy side,
the privations and joys, the defeats and successes. Her pictures of
a reporter’s life, divided between Bohemia and the upper circles, of
the clubs and haunts of newspaper men, of scenes before and behind the
stage, are all fresh, clear and fascinating.”--Philadelphia _Public
Ledger_.
