"Mrs. Helen Campbell has written 'Miss Melinda's Opportunity' with a
definite purpose in view, and this purpose will reveal itself to the
eyes of all of its philanthropic readers. The true aim of the story is
to make life more real and pleasant to the young girls who spend the
greater part of the day toiling in the busy stores of New York. Just
as in the 'What-to-do Club' the social level of village life was
lifted several grades higher, so are the little friendly circles of
shop-girls made to enlarge and form clubs in 'Miss Melinda's
Opportunity.'"--_Boston Herald._
"'Miss Melinda's Opportunity,' a story by Helen Campbell, is in a
somewhat lighter vein than are the earlier books of this clever
author; but it is none the less interesting and none the less
realistic. The plot is unpretentious, and deals with the simplest and
most conventional of themes; but the character-drawing is uncommonly
strong, especially that of Miss Melinda, which is a remarkably
vigorous and interesting transcript from real life, and highly
finished to the slightest details.
