The Garden of a Commuter’s Wife
_Recorded by the Gardener, with eight photogravure illustrations_
“‘The Garden of a Commuter’s Wife’ is a legend which gives no
hint of the wit and wisdom and graceful phrase within its
covers. The Commuter’s charming woman writes of her suburban
garden, her original servants, and various other incidents which
come in the course of living in a thoroughly human way. She
reminds one of Elizabeth of ‘German Garden’ fame in more ways
than one, but being American she is broader, more versatile and
humorous, if not also more poetic. It breathes an air of cheery
companionship, of flowers, birds, all nature, and the warm
affection of human friendship. Its philosophy is wholesome,
unselfish, and kindly, and the Commuter’s Wife, who writes her
own memoirs, is one we would be glad to number among our
friends.”—_The Evening Post_, Chicago.

People of the Whirlpool
_From the Experience Book of a Commuter’s Wife_
_With eight illustrations_
“They who have read ‘The Garden of a Commuter’s Wife’ know what
to expect in this, ‘The Experience Book’ of the same delightful
Barbara; but to the uninitiated, who light upon the book without
preconceived ‘notions’ of what it is, it will come with a double
note of delight.”—_New York Times’ Saturday Review_.
“The whole book is delicious, with wise and kindly humor, its
just perspectives of the true values of things, its clever pen
pictures of people and customs, and its healthy optimism for the
great world in general.”—_The Evening Telegraph_, Philadelphia.

The Garden, You and I
_With a Frontispiece in Colors and Other Illustrations_
“The garden and its flowers are the dominant interest, of
course, but it is so managed that they shall serve as a setting
for the human activities that engage a good share of the
reader’s attention. There runs through the book that strong and
hearty nature which is characteristic of all this author’s work.
Before everything else, it is an outdoor book. It tells for the
most part the tale of the open-air seasons.”—_Brooklyn Eagle_.
