Sketch Of betnei Authoress.
The book critic OF the Boston Herald
has the following item Of interest to Beth
el readers in the issue OF that paper OF Jan.
80 hi &s1tEa
lowing to the fact that 10 large editions
OF THE Wood Carver of 'Lympus' have
been issued, and also to the success of
Through the Gates OF the Netherlands
considerable interest has been aroused
with regard to the author of those books,
Mary e. Waller. She is native OF Bos-
ton, has travelled and studied in Europe,
taught in private school in New York
and now lives with her mother in the lit
tie town OF Bethel, where her charming
home is known as Gate of the Hills.
Miss Walters first book was THE Little
Citizen and her second "A Daughter OF
the Rich both addressed to a juvenile
audience. Then came The Wood Carver
OF 'Lympus,' which, published in the
spring OF 1904, did not give promise OF
success until the following year, when the
ssles mounted steadily upward. Her most
recent book owes its existence to year
spent in Holland with her mother"
