Summary

Cover illustration shows a woman seated on the floor next to a table whose surface is covered with gifts. Above gifts from various gentlemen callers are displayed: a photograph, horn with bell, a box, a purse, a fan and the book "Of the imitation of Christ." The blue in the woman's dress matches the blue of the background, creating a sense of negative space, typical of Phillips' "Fade-away girl."
