There is a certain bright cheerfulness in Miss Woolson's writing which
invests all her characters with lovable qualities.--_Jewish Advocate_,
N. Y.

Miss Woolson is among our few successful writers of interesting magazine
stories, and her skill and power are perceptible in the delineation of
her heroines no less than in the suggestive pictures of local
life.--_Jewish Messenger_, N. Y.

Constance Fentmore Woolson may easily become the novelist
laureate.--_Boston Globe._

Miss Woolson has a graceful fancy, a ready wit, a polished style, and
conspicuous dramatic power; while her skill in the development of a
story is very remarkable.--_London Life._

Miss Woolson never once follows the beaten track of the orthodox
novelist, but strikes a new and richly-loaded vein, which so far is all
her own; and thus we feel, on reading one of her works, a fresh
sensation, and we put down the book with a sigh to think our pleasant
task of reading it is finished. The author's lines must have fallen to
her in very pleasant places; or she has, perhaps, within herself the
wealth of womanly love and tenderness she pours so freely into all she
writes. Such books as hers do much to elevate the moral tone of the
day--a quality sadly wanting in novels of the time.--_Whitehall Review_,
London.

A HUMBLE ROMANCE, and Other Stories.

Only an artistic hand could have written these stories, and they will
make delightful reading.--_Evangelist_, N. Y.

The simplicity, purity, and quaintness of those stories set them apart
in a niche of distinction, where they have no rivals.--_Literary World_,
Boston.

The reader who buys this book and reads it will find treble his money's
worth in every one of the delightful stories.--_Chicago Journal._

Miss Wilkins is a writer who has a gift for the rare art of creating the
short story which shall be a character study and a bit of graphic
picturing in one; and all who enjoy the bright and fascinating short
story will welcome this volume.--_Boston Traveller._

The author has the unusual gift of writing a short story which is
complete in itself, having a real beginning, a middle, and an end. The
volume is an excellent one.--_Observer_, N. Y.

A gallery of striking studies in the humblest quarters of American
country life. No one has dealt with
