About this book

A nationwide campaign for women's voting rights has brought American social life almost to a standstill. Marriages have sharply declined, businesses dependent on celebrations are struggling, and organized women's clubs are pressing for change. Robert W. Chambers turns this imagined crisis into social comedy, beginning in the offices of a New York newspaper. Its confident owner, Augustus Melnor, orders his editor to make hardworking reporters of his two nephews, despite their preference for literary pursuits.

At a railway station, a quieter comic encounter unfolds. John Marque sends messages to himself as an excuse to approach Miss Eden, then struggles to begin a conversation at her flower-filled window. Her replies mix reserve with playful encouragement. Political exaggeration, newspaper-office banter and hesitant courtship give the book its varied comic texture.
