March 6. Miss Coffin is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry W. Coffin, 134 Four-
teenth Avenue South, Birmingham.

She was born in Birmingham and attended school here and at Hollins College,
Virginia. While a student at Birmingham-Southern College, she studied under James
Saxon Childers, internationally known writer. "Country Girl" is Miss Coffin's first
published fiction.

"Country Girl," is that type of story which can be properly handled only
by one possessing real talent. I t is a love story, a story of a great love, told simply,
effectively—told well. I t is seldom that a love story comes to the short story de-
partment of the News-Age-Herald which the editor feels contains just that touch
that should be in such a story. This touch will be found in "Country Girl." This
is a story that will bring favorable comment from many readers. I t is a story
which the News Age-Herald is glad to be able to offer in its short story department.

strangely, the greatest embarrassment at the uncovering came not from the daugh-
ters (who are between sixteen and twenty), but from the thirty-five-year-old man
before whom they were appearing unveiled! One of the two younger daughters is
being sought in marriage, and among other things, I am being drawn into the nego-
tiations, for this is a country of "arranged" marriages. I am the confidante and
adviser of both the girls' mother and of the bridegroom-to-be, who is not sure which
of the two girls he wants! I have done many interesting things in my wanderings, but
certainly never even in my wildest moments did I ever dream that one day I would
be an assistant match-maker in a Mohammedan romance in Persia!
