New a woman ofmature years, Miss McIlwraitlea refreshing personality and keen .enjoyment of the spirit of adventure and youth is what has made her one of the ablest people in the world to write enjoyable stories for Canadian 'boys and girls. The story of Miss Mcllwraith's de- votion to her mother is one which will appeal especially to her young read- ers, The bond between the authoress and her mother was one of unusual understanding and fidelity; it grew, if posible, in later years; wben Mrs. 9/10- I.lwraith, becoming a total invalid, de- pended more and more upon the love and care of her daughter. For four years .the youngwriter remained at her mother's side a.t the• old home, Cairnbrae, in Hamilton, and produced a book each one of those winters.

HUNGERFORD Racial Orlgin—English, Source -A locality, , Here is a family name which traces beck to a given name through a local name. In .otber words, there was first a given name, from which was formed a ]ocq] name, Then, at a later porlod when the given name had become ob- eotete, the .lees' name was developed Snto'a family name, being first a sur- name indidating place of residence, The piece name to the same es the modern-•fami:ly name, being :one of thoeo old Engllshi place' names so simple oe prwnunciaticn that it has not changed tlwougk the course of cen- turies. The place is a market town in Berkshire, up the River Kennet. From the ending in "fend" you might have guessed that it was a community on the bank of some river or stream, Hungerford was originally "IHun- ger's"Ford," and to get at the reason for the place being so named' you have to delve back to tbat period In Eng - Het history ngHet.history when the Danieli Bost* in vaded Britain.

A woman needs a blood building medicine regularly Just because she is a woman. From maturity to middle life the health of every woman de- pends upon her blood, If' her blood is poor she is weak, languid, pale and nervous. If the blood supply isirregu- ear. she ,suffers from lteadaelles and backaches, and "some women have grown to expect this suffering and, to bear it In silence. They do not ,realize that if the blood supply is kept rich and pure, their troubles will disappear, but such, is.tlie case. In every woman's life a tonic blood -enriching medicine Is needed and for this purpose nothing can help them so much' as Dr. Wil- liamsl Pink Pills, which act directly on the blood, furnishing the elements necessary to make it rich. and pure. Mrs. S. J. Watts, Kingston, Ont., gives her experience with this medicine as fol1o`vs:—' 1VIyr ihst • experience. with Dr, Williams' Pink Pills was while at- tending : the Collegiate.

Just as a tea expert tastes tea, so does a publisher's "reader" taste books. Upon the judgment of the "readers" depends the success or failure at a publishing house. The reader is ever on the 'alert far the manuscript which may prove to be a "best seller." A novel may be clever and possess originality of plot and of style, and yet prove a dismal failure. On the other hand, a novel, lacking in originality and written in slovenly style, may catch the wayward fancy of the read- ing public,` and in a flash the author may became famous throughout the .English-speaking world, .and both the author and the publisher will find their banking accounts swelling. Although the publisher"s reader tries to feel the pulse of the reading public, and sense wbat sort of a novel will prove a success and which will prove failures, the reader's judgment may play him false, and a novel rejected by fifteen publishers may be accepted by the sixteenth and have a'big success. Reject Now Famous Novels. Many novels now famous have been turned down and rejected again and again by various publishers' readers, and blrsn after a period of years, often when the author has abandoned hope, an enterprising publisher, greatly d.ar- ]n acq P e t the s g, oft -rejected j maim - script, and finds, much to his surprise perhaps, bhat he has discovered a popular success. One can mention Charles Dickens, George Meredith, George Eliot, Frank Danby, H. G. Wells, Joseph Conrad and a hostof novelists whose -most popular books• have been rejected by publishers' readers' with monotonous regularity, until, Some farsighted book - teeter bas persuaced a publisher to print a.book, which has leapt duto.the, frout rank of popular successes. The lot of the publisher's readers is not a happy one, and it 1e difficult to. decide which novel will successfully appeal eo the reading public and which will fail. The reader, poor soul, wades through the poor, bad, and indifferent manuscripts, and he considers himself lucky if he discovers 5 "best seller" once in twelve months. -So, when you send your manuscript to the publishers,. don't think too bad. of the "reader" if it is turned down. Jumping to Conclusions. If you travel on a liner it is wise not to jump to the conclusion that every- one who wears a yachting cap is a steward. A passenger- on the Baltic asked a passer-by to get him a chair, and rewarded the man whin a shilling for doing so, half 'an hour later he heard that he had tipped Sir Thomas Lipton! Sir Thomas has been telling the story himself, which is a sign of greatness on his part. • Tennyson and the late Duke of Norfolk were also' tipped in ebeir' time—and bragged. about it. , MONEY ORDERS.
