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.
