ecome musty."--_Boston Herald._

"Phyllis is a healthy, hearty, vivacious young woman of prankish
disposition and inquiring mind.... About the best example between book
covers of the American girl whose general attitude toward mankind is one
of friendliness."--_Boston Advertiser._

VALENTINE

"A far better novel than its predecessor, 'Caviare.'"--_London
Athenaeum._

"Cheeriness, youth, high spirits and the joy of life--these are the
principal ingredients of this novel."--_London Telegraph._

"In 'Valentine' the action is laid almost wholly in London, with
occasional week ends at Paris.... 'Valentine' is a good story about
enjoyably human people, told with the rich personal charm of the
accomplished raconteur."--_Boston Transcript._

"Its details and all the actions of all connected with its details are
worked out with a realistic thoroughness that makes the story seem a
piece of recorded history.... Distinctly light reading, clever,
engaging, skillfully wrought."--_Churchman._

A CONFEDERATE GIRL'S DIARY

"A living voice from the past of the Civil War comes to us from the
pages of 'A Confederate Girl's Diary.'... It is fascinatingly
interesting, a volume of real life.... A very human document, and one
remarkably mature and just, to have been written by so young a girl in
times so trying."--_Chicago Tribune._

"No such intimate diary of the war from a woman's point of view has yet
been given to the world, and certainly no diary of such unusual literary
merit."--_San Francisco Argonaut._

"We can but wonder that this maiden of the sixties could have created
and left to posterity such an adequate, convincing and psychologically
perfect portrayal of a woman of the South in the era that closed with
the surrender at Appomattox.... Not a page of the story could be spared.
No one can wonder at the intense courage and bravery of the Southern
soldiers after reading with what passionate faith and devotion these
fiery-hearted Southern women sent them into battle."--_Boston
Transcript._

HAGAR

"Hagar will stand out as one of the splendid woman characters of modern
fiction--serene and strong, an ideal feminist and a thorough
American."--_Portland (Me.) Telegram._

"A splendid story ... not the least part of its charm is that delightful
atmosphere of Virginia family life with which Miss Johnston's readers
are familiar."--_Balt
