This article critically appraises the book "Miss 318 and Mr. 37," by Rupert Hughes. This is a story of a saleslady who is numbered 318 on the staff of the Mammoth Department Store, New York. The story is of the humorous class. Her view of life, and the strange lingo through which she utters it, are even more amusing than pathetic. The author has made her the central figure in a highly-colored tract. Hughes' theme is the inhuman risk taken by big selling concerns, like the Mammoth, within the letter of inadequate fire-laws.
