...Elizabeth Jordan-Century ($2.00). When Dorinda Maxwell's father died, she wanted the freedom that he had refused her. At first she thought she had found it in the unconventionality of some drunken esthetes who called themselves the Black Butterflies.

Kirk Hale, the cousin to whom the author devotes most of his attention, is as thoroughly a blackguard in his way as was Captain Flagg of What Price Glory, the model hero-villain of all Park Row War fiction.
