"A story with the one supreme merit of originality."--_Daily
Chronicle._
"Another study of the New Woman, and a most brilliant and convincing
study. Celia Adair is almost an inspiration. Such a woman has never
been drawn with more absolute truthfulness.... A very powerful and
pathetic piece of work."--_Speaker._
"A very clever story; ... it is on the crest of the wave."--_Review
of Reviews._
"Had we space, we should like to make a good many quotations from
the sayings of Celia. Her principles are abominable, and her morals
are of the laxest; but many of her remarks are original, pungent,
and entertaining. A good deal of thought has evidently been expended
upon this book,"--_Saturday Review._
