About this title

Synopsis

A colorful account of turn-of-the-century New York scandal, by a legendary City Hall reporter and the first woman to write for THE NEW YORKER�s �Talk of the Town.�

Reviews

"A nice addition to the literature of roguery," quipped LJ's reviewer (LJ 10/1/65) of this portrait of Col. William D'Alton, publisher of Town Topics, the Journal of Society, which spotlighted the rich and their affairs. D'Alton played both sides: he sold magazines to the lower class, who loved to see the uppercrust with egg on their faces, and accepted money from the wealthy not to run particularly embarrassing items.
