Natalie Sumner Lincoln, author of many baffling mystery and detective stories is a product of the national capitol where most of the scenes of her novels are laid. She is one of the comparatively few residents of Washington who was born there and has lived there all her life. She is the only daughter of the late distinguished surgeon Dr NS Lincoln and his wife Jeanie Gould Lincoln, who is well known in the literary world as the author of Marjorie's Quest, An Unwilling Maid, and other romances of a sentimental type. Before she wrote her first book, Miss Lincoln did considerable newspaper work writing articles for New York and other big city papers, as well as for the Washington dailies. She held the position of society editor of the Washington Herald for a considerable period and resigned only after her novels had achieved great success.
