STRANGE BELIEFS.
Why the Women OF Past Centuries Would
Not Comb Their Hair at Night.

Why the Women OF Past Centuries Would
Not Comb Their Hair at Night.
There seems to exist throughout the
world very general belief that the
wood of the gallows will perform mi
raculous cures; in the Southern States
the darkys attempt to convince you
that chips of the gallows rubbed against
the skin of an afflicted person will
quickly cure chills and fever, and it is
said that piece of the halter used for
hanging some dreadful criminal is in
valuable to a man suffering with head
ache.
sAn idea also prevails that it is un-
lucky to build new house, it being
believed that the owners coffin will be
needed before the house is completed.
This may account for the many old
houses with new additions built TO them.
Womankind is willing nowadays to
comb her hair at night, but long ago
she would not do this, because it was
believed that the witches and the mer-
msidens were busted in the same way.
and consequently would bewitch and
claim her as sister and some day she
would disappear.

full to guard against her little failings
as her English-speaking sister, and

worth living if she lost the three-cor-

WRAPS FOR SUM- ER.

Revival of the Renaissance Cut-Soft and
Fine Summer Woolens.
Wraps for cool summer days as well
as the spring months present a variety
of styles in diagonal olive, brown and
absinthe. AS in costumes, there
are some examples in the Renaissance
cut, the Chatelaine, with the standing
ruff and the slashed sleeve; but dis
tinct line should be drawn between the
gala toilette of the eighteenth cent
ury and the costume of to-day for
daily wear. Many of the wraps are
covered with rich passementeries OF
iridscent beads of brown, olive and
green shades, the wide fringe and
Yak lace corresponding in color. One
of this style is lined with pale green
satin of changeable hues. A brown
grenadine closely interviewer with
olive, brown and other rather somber
beads, is accompanied by wide passe-
menterie bands on the neck and down the
'front.' A superb black satin Ottoman
wraps covered with network of beads
in floral arabesque of dull Jets; wide
fringe is combined with the trimming
of Spanish lace. Later in the season
there will be worn wraps of much
lighter weight and fabric of English
cloth in stripes, checks and invisible
soft brown plaids. The Cardinal hood
is lined with neutral tinted surah silk;
so with the sleeves. There are innum-
cradle other fashions for these useful
little wraps for seaside, mountain OF
travelling, in all manner of shapes.
Soft and fine wooden fabrics are very
popular, and this season are especially
agreeable to the touch, being wholly

YOUNG SHAKESPEARE.
The School-Room in Which the Great Poet
Learned His A-B-C's.

The School-ROom in Which the Great Poet
Learned His A-B-C's.
Though Shakespeare's parents were
illiterate, they knew the value of good
education. The free grammar school
had been refounded few years before
by Edward vi. And although there is
no actual record of his school-d avs, we
may take it as certain that little Will
Shakespeare was sent to the free school
when about seven years old, as we know
his brother Gilbert was, a little later.
The old grammar school still stands;
and boys still learn their lessons in the
self-same room with the high pitched
roof and oaken beams, where little
Will Shakespeare studied his "A-B-C-
book" and got his earliest
notions of Latin. But during part of
Shakespeare's school-days the school,
room was under repair; and boys and
master--Walter Roche by name-mi-
grated for while to the Guild Chapel
next door. And this was surely in the
poets mind when, in later years, he
talked of "pedant who keeps school
i the church."
All boys learned their Latin then from
two well-known books-the ''Accidence"
and the .'Sententie Pueriles." And
that William was no exception to tho
rule we may see by translations from
the latter in several of his plays, and by
an account, in one of his plays, of Mas
