Excerpt from A Girl Who Wrote During a long and more or less vivacious communion with metropolitan journalism certain impressions have filtered through my mind, which I have endeavored to set forth in the pages that follow. Those who imagine that the particular caps in this story are designed to fit individual heads in the real life of Newspaper Row will most assuredly be mistaken. Although the task of "steering away" from "personalities" was not an easy one, it has nevertheless been accomplished - to my own satisfaction. Perhaps "personalities" are merely a matter of taste, but they are not my taste. These pictures are mostly what might be called "composite." They are general impressions individualized. In sheer justice - to my own notions - I claim exemption from the suspicion of ridiculing my own friends. It is in Newspaper Row that they all lurk - or it is there, at any rate, that I believe them to lurk. Some of my happiest, as well as my unhappiest, days have been spent in Owldom, and now - in the mellowing maturity of my views - I claim for my pictures the sanctuary of what we call "the happy medium."
