Tale of revenge between sisters in London society. A pretty up-and-coming London hostess who has discarded her own Jewishness is determined her older dark large-nosed sister shall not attend a select costume ball she is arranging. Her sister's wrath at being refused an invitation takes a very cruel revenge - as none of the promised beauties appear and the men are left to dance alone ... A disappointed visit from Royalty completes the humiliation. Nice study of social pretension and apposite revenge. (PB)
