FROM THE EXPERIENCE BOOK OF A 

 COMMUTER'S WIFE 



With Eight Full-page Illustrations 

 Cloth 12mo $1.50 



" It cannot be that all the life which is grouped about the garden is 

 fiction; there must be some background of reality somewhere; the story 

 is too vital, too full of realism, too true to the life to be entirely a work of 

 imagination. . . . The book is delightful in several ways; its prose style 

 is sunny, optimistic, thoroughly happy in its philosophy of life, in its wit 

 and humor, and the fidelity of its portraiture. All together it is a most 

 charming volume." _ Brooklyn Eagle ^ 



" The whole book is delicious, with its wise and kindly humor, its just 

 perspections of the true values of things, its clever pen pictures of people 

 and customs, and its healthy optimism for the great world in general." 



Philadelphia Telegraph. 



"It is peculiar in treatment, very quaint in style, and refreshingly 

 original in every detail. ... It will be thoroughly liked by the judges of 

 what is best." -Buffalo Commercial. 



"They who have read 'The Garden of a Commuter's Wife' know what 

 to expect in this, ' The Experience Book ' of Jthe same delightful Barbara, 

 but to the uninitiated who light upon the book without preconceived 

 ' notions ' of what it is, it will come with a double note of delight."
