By Dawson, Margaret Cheney
New York: The Macmillan Company. Good in Fair dj. 1934. First Edition. Hardcover. [soiling to covers along top and bottom edges, some discoloration to endpapers, otherwise a good sound copy; the jacket is in pretty rough shape, soiled and heavily edgeworn, especially along the spine, with about half an inch of paper loss at the top of the spine]. "The action of this story takes place in New York City on the New Year's Eve of 1932-33, and achieves its effect by throwing against a typically frivolous party background some of the most serious emotional problems which confront the modern sophisticate. . . . A decade back they had sown the wind, but what they are reaping now is no whirlwind; rather, a confused little breeze that blows fitfully and chill across their minds." .
