Wellesley Stories
_BY GRACE LOUISE COOK_
12mo. 340 pp. $1.50
_The Stories_
_Clorinda_ _Submerged_
_President Jefferson_ _A Lyrical Interlude_
_The Trial of Professor _Sir Toby's Career_
Lamont_ _Initiated Into Love_
_The Verdict_
These Wellesley stories give a truthful picture of Wellesley student
life that will appeal strongly to its alumnae, greatly interest
preparatory students, and should receive the hearty approval of its
under-graduates; and also, as is sometimes not the case, they are worthy
of a reading outside of college circles, for they meet the requirements
of a good "short story" of whatever theme.
Wellesley traditions, customs, and spirit pervade the book, either
described at some length or indicated by a masterly allusion. All kinds
of girls are depicted, as all kinds of girls go to college--girls poor
and rich, clever, dull, and commonplace, refined and unrefined, the
unsubstantial and the dilettante, and those with genuine talent, and the
life among them seems very real, for nothing is forced or strained in
the stories. The trial scene in Professor Lamont is one of the cleverest
bits of writing in any recent book of short stories, and it is a true
picture of the way in which college girls embrace every opportunity for
genuine fun. The last story in the book is one of the best college love
stories ever written. The dialogue is spirited, the diction graceful,
and a literary style is well sustained throughout.--_The N. Y. Times
