_A Study in Washington Society and Politics_
By FOXCROFT DAVIS
Author of “Mrs. Darrell,” etc.
Cloth 12mo $1.50
“The book is bright with humor; but it is a clean, deep–delved, heartsome, perfectly genial humor of a kind most winning and uncommon.... The women have stirring individualities as well as representative qualities, and convey a profounder sympathetic effect.”—_The Reader._
“It is a first–rate study of life in the national capital, while as a story it is more interesting than the majority of political novels. Its English is of the choicest, its style is crisp and piquant, and its dominant note, strangely enough, is optimistic, rather than satirical.”—_Chicago Record–Herald._
“A bright and entertaining story,—the best study of the political and social life of the national capital that has yet been published.”—_Atlanta Journal._
“It is exceedingly good reading, and the author is a born story–teller with an easy style.”—_Buffalo News._
“It is written well, and gives a clear idea of Washington life in different phases, and it is a thoroughly enjoyable volume.”—_Grand Rapids Herald._
