PHEBE: HER PROFESSION. By Anna Chapin Ray.

{{smaller block|{{italic block|Miss Ray’s work draws instant comparison with the best of Miss Alcott’s; first, because she has the same  genuine sympathy with boy and girl life; secondly, because  she creates real characters, individual and natural, like  the young people one knows, actually working out the  same kind of problems; and, finally, because her style of writing is equally unaffected and straightforward.

She builds upon clearly thought-out convictions, and the influence of the book will be wholly for good,  tending toward a sane, wholesome view of life generally. There is a deal of fun in it too. In short, this is one of the few books written for young people  into the making of which has gone a vigor and grace  such as one asks for in a good story for older people.}}}} }}
