Stories of Bible women told in a fascinating manner, without doing violence to any detail of the Scriptural statements.

It leaves much to the imagination of the reader through its accounts of love and bat tle and intrigue, through its chapters of prophecy and poetry and miracle. * * * So I am sending out these little stories, in the hope that they may take nothing away from the beauty of the old, familiar narratives, but may, perhaps, add something of
