"_
The title of Mrs. Norris's new novel at once indicates its theme. It
is the life story of a girl who has her own way to make in the
world. The various experiences through which she passes, the various
viewpoints which she holds until she comes finally to realize that
service for others is the only thing that counts, are told with that
same intimate knowledge of character, that healthy optimism and the
belief in the ultimate goodness of mankind that have distinguished
all of this author's writing. The book is intensely alive with human
emotions. The reader is bound to sympathize with Mrs. Norris's people
because they seem like real people and because they are actuated by
motives which one is able to understand. _Saturday's Child_ is Mrs.
Norris's longest work. Into it has gone the very best of her creative
talent. It is a volume which the many admirers of _Mother_ will gladly
accept.

In _Neighborhood Stories_ Miss Gale has a book after her own heart,
a book which, with its intimate stories of real folks, is not unlike
_Friendship Village_. Miss Gale has humor; she has lightness of
touch; she has, above all, a keen appreciation of human nature. These
qualities are reflected in the new volume. Miss Gale's audience,
moreover, is a constantly increasing one.
