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 Netv 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 pervaded 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 .
