" Her little pictures of country life are fragrant with a genuine love of 

 nature, and there is fun as genuine in her notes on rural character. A 

 travelling pieman is one of her most lovable personages ; another is 

 Tatters, a dog, who is humanly winsome and wise, and will not soon be 

 forgotten by the reader of this very entertaining book." 



New York Tribune. 



"... is" the story of the plucky daughter of a country-bred New Yorker 

 of affairs and a Brooke of Virginia, ... a lovable girl, full of both romance 

 and common sense. ... It is an admirable book for the summer season 

 or any other." Boston Daily Advertiser. 



"This story possesses, in common with its delightful predecessors, 'The 

 Garden of a Commuter's Wife' and 'The People of the Whirlpool,' the 

 charm of freshness, genuine love of a wholesome and simple life, keen 

 appreciation of the joys of out-of-doors, a gentle and sound sense of humor, 

 and true perception of character." Louisville Times. 



" In skilful portrayal of types, in sharp but smiling shafts at the foibles 

 and artificialities of modern society, in a rarely delicate humor, in a whole- 

 some love of out-of-doors and all God's creatures, human or unhuman, and, 

 above all, in the gentle preachment of a very sane and beautiful philosophy, 

 in all the qualities, in short, that make the charm and excellence of 

 ' Barbara's ' other books, her new one will not be found wanting."
