"Ili-Starred Babbie," is a story of
that misunderstood, little known sec
ton OF our country-the anthracite

the people about whom he writes, and
most of them are well worth writing
about. The heroine is a genuine crea-

lovable, sweet and beautiful. Her
charm somehow finds its way from the
printed page to the heart of even the
jaded reader. Tragedy is in the story,
but comedy predominates.
