That Pres Dillard is in trade (banking) is bad enough, but that he neglects his lady for business is worse. To chastise Pres, Julie wears red to the Mardi Gras' Olympus Ball, where unmarried girls traditionally wear white. To chastise Julie, Pres dances her feet off while proper and white-frocked New Orleans belles primly withdraw to the sidelines.

But Author Keyes's book is three times as long, illustrated with mouth-watering photographs of the Washington Great, and keyed in a gaily professional manner which reflects the fact that Mrs. Keyes was long a regular contributor to Good Housekeeping and the author of several novels.
