The deutb wus announced the other day of a gentleman who, the son of James Death, had changed his name to D’Aeth. That Is an unusual varia tion of a name which one would not willingly choose, though the old fam ily of the D'Aeths of Knowlton Court, Kent, claim that the surname Is de rived from Aeth, In Flanders. The directory reveals many efforts to dis guise the melancholy association, In cluding Deathe, Dearth, De Ath and De'Ath. Just a Suggestion. Speaking of hooks printed In Amer ica, It Is much better to have that legend si awn on the reverse of the i title pagi than at the end of the vol ume whe e It so often makes an antt climax.
