The One Woman
By
Thomas Dixon, Jr.
Author of "The Leopard's Spots"

THE author showed in "The Leopard's Spots" his mastery of the expression of powerful human emotions. This new story appeals to a wider audience, on the greatest of all subjects for a novel, the power of Love, as affected by the movement toward Socialism which marks the new century. It is essentially a love story and character study of three strong men and two fascinating women. In swift, unified and dramatic action, we see Socialism a deadly force, in the hour of the eclipse of Faith destroying the home life and weakening the fiber of Anglo-Saxon manhood. This dream of "fellowship and solidarity" is shown to be a lapse to the herd, out of which, under Love, the sacredness of marriage was evolved as the basis of civilization. The crash and roar of New York's colossal life are heard throughout the novel. The book grips the reader and holds him. The five figures of the drama are very vivid.
