 Zona Gale
In story after story Miss Gale varied the same device: that of showing how childlike children are, how sisterly are sisters, how brotherly are brothers, how motherly are mothers, how fatherly are fathers, how grandmotherly and grandfatherly are grandmothers and grandfathers, and how loverly are all true lovers of whatever age, sex, color, or condition.
But beneath the human kindness which had permitted Miss Gale to fall into this technique lay the sinews of a very subtle intelligence ; and she needed only the encouragement of a changing public taste to be able to escape from her sugary preoccupations.
Her story is as spare as the virgin frame of Lulu Bett; her style is staccato in its lucid brevity, like Lulu's infrequent speeches; her eloquence is not that of a tor-rent of words and images but that of comic or ironic or tragic meaning packed in a syllable, a gesture, a dumb silence.

Portage--Like Portage’s Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Zona Gale, Jinx Davis, actress and owner of an avant garde theater in Waterloo, is very much a citizen of the world, but also very much a member of her own small community.
She also happened to be acquainted with the playwright, Nancy Breitsprecher, a Zona Gale scholar who was a patron of Davis’ Mode Theatre, an old movie house she converted into a residential gallery and theater space about five years ago.
Then she read “Hearts Kindred” and began working with Breitsprecher and quickly found herself absorbed in the life and times of Zona Gale, although she admits it took her awhile to warm up to Gale’s turn-of-the-century writing style.

Miss Gale's answer: his suppressions may drive him insane—that is, up or down the scale of sanity—especially if, having succumbed hastily to the sweetheart, he falls in love with a woman of the world when it is just too late; a woman who waits for him and writes to him for years after.
Her style, suffering since Miss Lulu Bett from chronic realism and acute poetic indigestion, is scarcely to be recommended as a model of lucidity to students at the University of Wisconsin, of which she is a Regent.
An explanation of her elusive theme may be that Miss Gale has lately been concerned more with spiritualism than with literature.

 Vintage Catalog | Miss Lulu Bett and Selected Stories by Zona Gale Edited by Barbara H. Solomon and Eileen Panetta
Lulu Bett lives in a small town with her sister Ina and Ina’s husband Dwight–a dentist who rules his household with self-righteous smugness.
Through her appealing, determined heroine, Zona Gale satirically dispatches a sheaf of the social assumptions of her day, from male supremacy to the security of marriage.
Together with four of Gale’s short stories–including the O. Henry award-winning “Bridal Pond”–Miss Lulu Bett reflects Gale’s broad progressive interests and the fast-paced, affecting prose which made her one of the most popular writers of her time and a classic American storteller.
