receivedin England as well as here. Itsap-

after by an English edition of her first
book, which also won most favorable at

Miss BelI's third story, THE Underside

created a rather more favora bic impression
than her second Or even her first book.

The contents of "A Girls Point Of View
referred To hereinbefore, were published in
the Ladies' Home Journal, and provoked
widespread interest al the time of their
publication, which is likely to be ex-
tensively revived now that they appear
in book form. Miss Bells work has been
so distinctive and strong and artistic
that it is not difficult to hazard a state
ment that her future work will rank her
very high in the group of American novel
lists.

Atlanta. There, at the age OF seven, she
