Jack London's new book. Love of Life"
is another Instance of his aptness in Sc
lecting striking titles for his works. The
making of a good title is an art in itself.
and no one among living authors has prac-
tised 1t more successfully than London. In
the entire list of mis- books there is scarce
ly a Door title, and most of them are won
derfully strong and attractive: THE Son
of the Wolf" THE God Of His Fathers"
"A Daughter Of the Shows ''The hill
drer of the Frost People of the
ABYSS The Call of the Wild" THE
Faith Of Men, "The Sea-Wolf." THE
Game" War of the Classes . Tales of
the Fish Patrol" white Fang" Moon
Face Before Adam and Love of Life. .

elemental setting in which London places
all of his best work.
