Characterization is Miss Woolson's forte. Her men and women are not
mere puppets, but original, breathing, and finely contrasted
creations.--_Chicago Tribune._

Miss Woolson is one of the few novelists of the day who know how to
make conversation, how to individualize the speakers, how to exclude
rabid realism without falling into literary formality.--_N. Y.
Tribune._

For tenderness and purity of thought, for exquisitely delicate
sketching of characters, Miss Woolson is unexcelled among writers
of fiction.--_New Orleans Picayune._

For swiftly graphic stroke, for delicacy of appreciative coloring,
and for sentimental suggestiveness, it would be hard to rival Miss
Woolson's sketches.--_Watchman,_ Boston.

BY LILIAN BELL

THE INSTINCT OF STEP-FATHERHOOD. Stories.

The spirit of fun is found to a greater or less degree in all of the
sketches, but at times the fun borders on the tragic so closely that
the dividing line between laughter and tears almost fades out of
sight.--_Brooklyn Eagle._

FROM A GIRL'S POINT OF VIEW.

The author is so good-humored, quaint, and clever that she has not
left a dull page in her book.--_Saturday Evening Gazette,_ Boston.

A LITTLE SISTER TO THE WILDERNESS. A
Novel. New Edition.

Written from the heart and with rare sympathy.... The writer has a
natural and fluent style, and her dialect has the double excellence
of being novel and scanty. The scenes are picturesque and
diversified.--_Churchman,_ N.Y.

THE UNDER SIDE OF THINGS. A Novel. With a Portrait of the Author.

This is a tenderly beautiful story.... This book is Miss Bell's best
effort, and most in the line of what we hope to see her proceed in,
dainty and keen and bright, and always full of the fine warmth and
tenderness of splendid womanhood.--_Interior,_ Chicago.

THE LOVE AFFAIRS OF AN OLD MAID.
