been shown in this city.
There Is something unusually differ

Of Miss Marsh that makes her work
stand out and be in class OF IFS own
Perhaps IL Is because, as | have said
above. she Is winsome. then againt I
may be because she Is a girl OF a thou
sand moods, each one varying from
the other in nature, but not in interest
and sympathy.
In The Bondage OF Barbara" we will
see her as a cashier in large esiab-
lishment during the working hours
and after the day as little mother TO a
younger brother who is as selfish as
his sister in generous. and as weak
In mind and body as she is strong In
both.
II is a story Of love and self-sacrl-

ward OF patience that she receives
