Dr. Roback sets mankind into four classifications; those predominantly (1) cerebral, (2) muscular, (3) respiratory and (4) digestive. He then goes on to outline the tendencies of each group...
...Ludwig has so arranged matters that her willing victims, though never forgetful, always forgive. Between diversions, Diana is the capable secret agent and business adviser of canny Millionaire Scherer. Only once is she the cause of tragedy: a duel in which a former lover kills her present one. No introvert, Diana does not often brood; and when she does, her pessimism is only of the morning after. "To taste of everything just once-in order to be able to despise everything." In Diana, Author Ludwig has tried to give the ideal of modern emancipated woman: a realistic romantic...
