SOME SOCIAL REFLECTIONS

The Author prefers to remain anonymous

He signs himself

A GENTLEMAN WITH A DUSTER

_With Portraits_

"The Gentleman with a Duster" who so mercilessly and brilliantly
clarified the mirrors of Downing Street, now turns his attention to
English Society--and what a drubbing it gets. Perhaps the sorriest
victims to fall under his cleanser are Col. Repington and Margot
Asquith. His name for the latter will surely stick--"The Grandmother of
the Flapper." But society at large is not spared, and there can be no
question as to the sincerity of the author. The _Spectator_, realizing
this, says, "The book is not a piece of mere Grubb Street morality
prepared by someone who thinks that this is the dish the public desires
at the moment."

_The Glass of Fashion_ is at times savagely ferocious, but it
scintillates brilliancy throughout.
