DIXON, CLARISSA. _Janet and her dear Phebe._ Stokes, 1909. Girls story of two loving little chums, separated by a misunderstanding between their families, and re-united as women.

Preachy outburst against lesbians toward the end. Read it with a hanky handy. (Curiously enough, in spite of the anti-lesbian bias of the ending, and the overdone sentimentality of the Swinburnian writing, everybody seems to enjoy this one—all the Checklist editors included.)

_Clea._ N. Y. Dutton, 1960. The last volume of now-famous tetralogy, just released, winds up all of the loose ends of the other three. The lesbian element is minor, but all four novels are excellent.
