MISTAKES IN TITLES.
-love's Oiscourses" Has Nothing to
 Do With Cupid's Franks.

It is interesting to collect certain of the titles of books. Thus the old farm CT who asked for "Edgworth on Irish Bulls got no doubt something he did not expect, and the dainty youth who applied for Loves Discourses" did not really wish a volume of sermons by Christopher Love. If application is made by messenger. mistakes of a diff ferent sort may occur. An excitable boy once asked for Bishop Cocks and Hens Earnest Communicant:" he meant Bishop 0xenden's. Similarly by Warne's 'Moral Cookery he meant his Model Cookery" A maid forgot all about the title of the book she had been sent foe except that it was something like tomato soup.' She was served with Red rottace."
