A lovely volume of short stories, chiefly of love and family life. A young man is given a new perspective on the stepmother he disapproves of in "The Measure of Margaret Coppered"; a careless prank gives a jolt to a romance in "Dr. Bates and Miss Sally"; a young girl who adores an actress learns a bittersweet lesson about fame in "The Rainbow's End." Some stories are humorous, many touching enough to bring tears to the eyes, all beautifully written.
