SALLY,Mrs.TUBBSAn amusing and sympathetic study of a New England woman of humble station, but noble character.By MARGARET SIDNEY, author of the Famous “Pepper” books, etc.CHICAGO RECORD-HERALD says:What can be said is, that those who have read “Mrs. Wiggs” will purchase “Sally, Mrs. Tubbs.” The author of this pleasant story, who is Margaret Sidney of the “Pepper” books renown, has rightly dedicated this tale for grown-ups to “all who love simplicity, truth, and cheerfulness.” These virtues characterize Sally Plunkett, whose soul-devouring ambition was “to have ’Bijah Tubbs fer life.”As a chapter out of human life “Sally, Mrs. Tubbs” is, perhaps, as good as “Mrs. Wiggs.” Regarded artistically, it shows the workmanship of a more practised hand; it has a plot, and this plot pleasantly complicated, and thus differs from its next of kin. We judge that Sally and her ’Bijah, who, though little, is “sizable” enough to meet her wants, will make the acquaintance of those who like a book that is not over-intellectualized nor yet lacking in soundness of heart and penetrating vision into human nature. “Sally, Mrs. Tubbs” will furnish a hearty laugh and a quickened sensibility.BOSTON TRANSCRIPT says:As a brief character-sketch, “Sally, Mrs. Tubbs” deserves no little praise for its geniality and its humor.BOSTON HERALD says:This short story of 180 pages is captivating from start to finish, and the masculine reader takes off his hat, and the feminine reader courtesies, to this matron of the tubs, with her homely heroism and true kindness of heart.12mo.Picture Cover.Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co., Boston
