N. Y. TIMES SATURDAY REVIEW:
"That the discriminating ought to approve the book is unquestionable ... written with a delicacy of style and a happiness of expression that very few essayists of to-day possess ... peculiarly dainty work.... The moods in 'Carisabel's' book are as many as the moods of a woman, but always in comedy and pathos, there are the same tenderness and delicacy. The book is distinctly worth reading."
N. Y. TRIBUNE:
"New points of view presented in sprightly fashion."
N. Y. COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER:
"Clever conversation, bright, graceful dabs of opinion and epigram."
WASHINGTON STAR:
"Her wit is keen and pointed."
WASHINGTON POST:
"Extremely clever and thoroughly amusing."
PUBLIC OPINION:
"Witty, easily moving comment on the world and the follies thereof ... delightful, but at the same time thoroughly wise."
PROVIDENCE JOURNAL:
"The author has some exceedingly pertinent and illuminating things to say ... written in a vein of whimsical humor and gentle irony, as of one, who, looking on at the game of life, sees all the shams and insincerities, and yet finds it worth while."
BALTIMORE SUN:
"There is apparently no limit to Mrs. Cabell's versatility.... She has a keen perception of what is ridiculous or amusing ... originality, perfection of style, pungency of comment and depth of penetration."
