Julia Takes Her Chance" none Is more complimentary than what the New York Herald book critic has to say of Concordia Merrells book In these words;
 You will just have to bear with us, for we are determined to praise this book from the beginning to the end of this review, and our thoughts. aside from those expressed here, are just as favorable to author and book.
 we read Julia until one o'clock, and then sat down to scrawl our de- light before sleep overlook us Julia Takes Her Chance is book you will read because Julia makes you. The story is so full of living people and their joys and sorrows, successes and failures, that we were swallowed up in the sense of humanity and car ed little where the people happened to live.
 Get the book tomorrow and in the evening settle down after dinner early, because you will want to finish before you wind the clock and set the alarm and crawl into bed-and spend a happy evening with Julia. Then turn out the light and read Julia all over again in your dreams"
