FINDING NAMES FOR NOVELS
Modern Authors Differ From Those OF
the Past in Selecting Titles for
Their Volumes.

Modern novelists find it difficult to
find titles for their books, but, charac-
teristically, Dickens could always hit
IN a score or so of titles for his
hooks. and found difficulty only in the
selection of one from among so many
For "Bleak House." for instance, ne
drew ND list of twelve possible tt
tles-including "The Ruined House,
seTom-all-alone's, The Solitary
House, 'The East Wind, BLEAK
House and the East Wind"-and sub
mitted it to Forster for selection. 1t
is worth noting that in the end Dick
ems always chose the most effective
of the titles he devised.
Talking of titles for stories, how is
il that the eponymous title is summed
nv modern authors and frowned upon
nv publishers? Surely the name OF
vour hero or heroine should be good
enough for a novel Fielding, Smol
lett. Sterne, Thackeray. Dickens,
Meredith all favored the eponymous
title and it is certainly easier to re-
member than any other. What could
he better than "Tristram Shandy," or
s.Pendennis,' or David Copperfield,
or Richard FeveraI'? Mr.. Pugh's
'sTony Drum" is perfect title.
worthy of that remarkable book. The
catchy title that so many modern
writers seem to strain after is, as
often as not, by no means easy to re
member, and when you have finished
the book you wonder what the title
has to do with it. Let US get back to
simplicity in this matter-LonGon

Do not make the error of regarding

son has grip, the air passages are
alive with millions of bacilli poison

feels tired and exhausted.
Peruna is Tonic Laxative.
1t requires good tonic laxative to
keep the body OF the patient as strong
as possible to counterfeit the effect or
the poisons created by the grip bacil-
lus. An expectorant tonic with some
laxative qualities is the safest rem
edy. Such is Peruna. Beware es-
pecially of coal tar powders or tablets
because they lessen the vitality Of tho
patient.
There is no specific for the grip.
Peruna has been used with good
success in former grip epidemics. In
dications point to the return of grip
this winter.
Do not fail to read the experience
of former grip patients with Peruna-
