MODERN GIRL MORE GOOD THAN BAD
AUTHORESS’S OPINION “How bad is the modern girl?” Barabara Webb, the noted American author, repeated the question, looked quizzically at the interviewer, smiled, and replied: “I think the question ought to be ‘Howgood is the modern girl?’ because I know she is more good than she is bad. The modern girl, in whatever station of life, is not nearly so bad as she is painted. At heart she is as fine and true as your old-fashioned girls.” Barbara Webb has just completed her new story, “Sherry,” the love story of a modern girl, but a spoiled modern girl. “Of course,” Miss Webb continued, “Sherry Hall does a lot of things I can’t approve of, but I don’t think she is entirely to blame. You see. she was handicapped by her jazz-mad parents. But at heart she was a fine clean girl. All the people in the story are true to life. I have known every one of them.” “Sherry” is filled with thrilling episodes of the hectic life led by a fast New York society set, and it tells the story of what such a life did to a girl who was true in heart and spirit.
