Reseña del editor

There were owners of tropic plantations, cattlecovered provinces, fabulous mines. There were retired generals, cabinet ministers, imperial cham berlains. From every country in Europe were nobles, diplomats, adventurers. But there were women. These were the Paseo, for it was a society event.
