Houghton, Mifflin & Co. have issued in
book form serial which has appeared in the
Atlantic Monthly. entitled IAN Echo of Pas
sion, by George Parsons Lathrop. This is
an interesting story. A young man, not long
married to pretty wife, falls in with hand
some widow whom he had known before her
marriage and treated somewhat rudely. Her
fine voice and singing at first exercise kind
of witchery over him, and at last he finds
himself deeply in love with the widow and all
ready for an elopement if she will consent.
But the widow. though reciprocating the pas
sion of her lover, has strength to withstand
the temptation, saves him and herself from
misery and disgrace, and spends the remain
der of her life in deeds of charity and benev-
olence, while the fickle husband renews his
allegiance to his injured wife. The story
borders so closely upon n domestic tragedy
that ones breath is almost taken away at the
close to find that one has not been committed.
Horace North has il for sale.
