Preface




A Social Mystery

(1895)

Written by Julian Starr, a pseudonym of Horatio Alger

"Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,
Our fatal shadows that walk by us still."--Fletcher.

To My Readers:

In reading Miss Harraden's charming idyl "Ships That Pass in the Night," it occurred to me that if there were Disagreeable Men there are also Disagreeable Women. Hence this story.
