THE OTHER DELIGHTFUL BOOKS BY "BARBARA" : 



The Garden of a Commuter's Wife, illustrated from photographs 



" Reading it is like having the entry into a home of the class that is the 

 proudest product of our land, a home where love of books and love of nature go 

 hand in hand with hearty simple love of 'folks.' . . . It is a charming 

 book." — The Interior. 



The People of the Whirlpool illustrated 



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

 perspective of the- true values of things, its clever pen pictures of people and 

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

 delphia Evening Telegraph. 



The Woman Errant 



" The book is worth reading. It will cause discussion. It is an interesting, 

 fictional presentation of an important modern question, treated with fascinating 

 feminine adroitness." — Miss Jeanette Gilder in The Chicago Tribune. 



At the Sign of the Fox 



' ' 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 traveling 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." — The Neiv York Tribune. 



The Garden, You and I 



" This volume is simply the best she has yet put forth, and quite too deli - 

 ciously torturing to the reviewer, whose only garden is in Spain. . . . The 

 delightful humor which persuaded the earlier books, and without which 

 Barbara would not be Barbara, has lost nothing of its poignancy, and would 

 make The Garden, You and I pleasant reading even to the man who 

 doesn't know a pink from a phlox or a Daphne cneorum from a Cherokee 

 rose. ' ' — Congregationalist .
