cate insight and strong impressions of life and
character.... The author's theme is original, her treatment
artistic, and the book is remarkable for its unflagging
interest."--Philadelphia Record.

laid down until the last page is finished."--Boston Budget.
"A well-written novel, with well-depicted characters and
well-chosen scenes."--Chicago News.

power and realism, and touched with a fine humor."--London World.
"One of the most remarkable and powerful of the year's
contributions, worthy to stand with Ian Maclaren's."--British
Weekly.

recommended without reservation. It is fresh, pure, sweet, and
pathetic, with a pathos which is perfectly wholesome."--St. Paul
Globe.

told.... The author shows a marvelous keenness in character
analysis, and a marked ingenuity in the development of her
story."--Boston Advertiser.
INTO THE HIGHWAYS AND HEDGES.
12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.
"A touch of idealism, of nobility of thought and purpose, mingled
with an air of reality and well-chosen expression, are the most
notable features of a book that has not the ordinary defects of
such qualities. With all its elevation of utterance and
spirituality of outlook and insight it is wonderfully free from
overstrained or exaggerated matter, and it has glimpses of humor.
Most of the characters are vivid, yet there are restraint and
sobriety in their treatment, and almost all are carefully and
consistently evolved."--London Athenaeum.
"'Into the Highways and Hedges' is a book not of promise only, but
of high achievement. It is original, powerful, artistic, humorous.
It places the author at a bound in the rank of those artists to
whom we look for the skillful presentation of strong personal
impressions of life and character."--London Daily News.
"The pure idealism of 'Into the Highways and Hedges' does much to
redeem modern fiction from the reproach it has brought upon
itself.... The story is original, and told with great
refinement."--Philadelphia Public Ledger.
