Show HYFERfesTHEsrA is the name of a novel by Mary Cruger. The scene of the novel is a summer hotel ; and it is the summer hotel with which all travelers are familiar. "The idea which this story seeks to illustrate illus-trate that morbid supersentivenes of the nerves, although a physical fact, is no more real than a similar condition of mind and spirit in a fairly healthy body is one not so often recognized as it should be." Upon this idea is the story founded. It is very well worked out, and in a pleasing style. There is enough incident and ' motive in it to keep the interest up. The scheming mamma is the' evil genius of the work, although her evil is more petty meanness mean-ness than anything else. The mechanical mechan-ical work is very good, and the appearance appear-ance of the book-is pleasing. Fords, Howard & Ilurlbert, New York ; C. H. Parsons & Co., Salt Lake City. Price $1. |
