In view of the fact that of late years Miss Winifred Graham has devoted much time to writing stories, the purpose of these being to expose the danger of Mormonism in this country, it is sometimes forgotten that she is one of the cleverest and most charming writers of short stories concerning child life. It was as a girl of seventeen that she wrote the first of her child stories "A Heroine in Bib and Tucker." She considers that her first real success was her story, "A Strange Solution," which Miss Graham's father thought decidedly uncanny, because he said the author had written about things she never could have experienced. "My other relatives," Miss Graham says, "were quite horrified with the book. A good many people we knew wrote to say that they would not allow their daughters to read it. Undaunted, I wrote back that they were perfectly right, and added that if 1 had daughters, I should not allow them to read it either." Miss Graham's first success with a children's book was with "The Star Child." It was about the year 1908 that she became interested in the Mormon doctrine, and was induced by a friend, to write a novel exposing its dangers to English girls. Miss Graham married Mr. Theodore Cory in 1906, and lives at Hampton Court.
