THE STORY OF BABETTE: A Little Creole Girl.
Mrs. Stuart is one of some half-dozen American writers who are doing the best that is being done for English literature at the present time. Her range of dialect is extraordinary; but, after all, it is not the dialect that constitutes the chief value of her work. That will be found in its genuineness, lighted up as it is by superior intelligence and imagination and delightful humor.—Chicago Tribune.
Mrs. Stuart is a genuine humorist.—N. Y. Mail and Express.
Few surpass Mrs. Stuart in dialect studies of negro life and character.—Detroit Free Press.

BY LILIAN BELL
THE INSTINCT OF STEP-FATHERHOOD. Stories.
The spirit of fun is found to a greater or less degree in all of the sketches, but at times the fun borders on the tragic so closely that the dividing line between laughter and tears almost fades out of sight.—Brooklyn Eagle.
FROM A GIRL'S POINT OF VIEW.
The author is so good-humored, quaint, and clever that she has not left a dull page in her book.—Saturday Evening Gazette, Boston.
A LITTLE SISTER TO THE WILDERNESS. A Novel. New Edition.
Written from the heart and with rare sympathy.... The writer has a natural and fluent style, and her dialect has the double excellence of being novel and scanty. The scenes are picturesque and diversified.—Churchman, N.Y.
THE UNDER SIDE OF THINGS. A Novel. With a Portrait of the Author.
This is a tenderly beautiful story.... This book is Miss Bell's best effort, and most in the line of what we hope to see her proceed in, dainty and keen and bright, and always full of the fine warmth and tenderness of splendid womanhood.—Interior, Chicago.
