information about this edition.

[One novella (the first) and 8 short stories. Accompanying illustrations omitted for the present.]

A common spirit runs through all the stories in this volume, a clear vision of the grim realities of life, tinged slightly with cynicism, and wholesome in final effect. Some of the tales are set in California, others apparently in Eastern cities. The most elaborate and thoughtful is "A Provident Woman," the most beautiful and appealing is "The Mother."—A mini-review in Outlook magazine, ("Books of the Week") 1904
