"['A Suburban Pastoral'] so devoid of pretension or effort, so freshly and frankly written, so quiet in its humor, and with its suggestion of pathos so latent in the emotions it awakens ... hereafter we shall remember him among the sweetest, tenderest, and gravest of our story-tellers."—Mail and Express.
"'A Midwinter Night's Dream' is a beautiful example of writing which is permeated with delicate fancy.... 'Split Zephyrs' discusses many of those problems which you will hear debated almost every night in June under the elms and in old college haunts."—Life.
"A skill and delicacy worthy of Mr. Henry James."—Kate Field's Washington.
"Marked by powerful but artistically suppressed feeling."—Dial.
"Effective and thoroughly readable."—Outlook.
"Its ['A Suburban Pastoral'] description is realistic, its dialogue vivacious, and its situations dramatic. The seven other tales are entertaining, and each one is unique."—New York Observer.
"For some time there has not been published a better collection of stories."—Detroit Free Press.
