Queer Superstitions INDUCED In BY the
Players of Cards.

Players OF Cards.
One of the most common superstitions Is
that where a cardplayer who is not having
good luck gets up and solemnly walks
around his chair three times in order to
proptiate fortune, or the player will call
for a new pack of cards. The partners In
game of cards who have the grain Of the
table running between them are also sup
posed to be helped thereby. This, accord
ing to Notes and Queries. is an Irish super
stition. We also learn from the same
source that if you are card player, and not
having table in your room, start to play
cards on the bed, then beware, for this is
an act sure to bring misfortunes fnnu-
merable.
Never throw pack Of cards at any one,
as the act will bring all kinds OF bad luck
to the person struck.
When you have a pack Of cards which
have seen their best days do not commit
the imprudence of giving them away. 1t
is also bad luck. The proper plan IL to
burn them, and preferably with pepper
and salt.
The belief that large number OF people
have in the efficacy Of fortune telling by
cards is too well known to dwell upon.
These people, when fortune teller Is not
convenient, will often pick out their own
fortune by means of divers kinds Of soli-
taire
Then there is the old proverb. LUCKY
ut cards, unlucky at love-"
In a game of cards it is considered I'M
lucky to player to rest your foot on the
back rung of his chair while looking at
the game Rest your foot on one of the
side rungs or on the seat of the chair, but

Thomas BcttertOn.

We have only to think of the period COW
cred by Betterton's life to see how impor-
tant is his place in the annals of acting.
Born in 1885, he appeared first on the stage
in 1860. A fine opportunity for "A young
actor to come into notice in the year OF the
Restoration after the dreary regime (dreary
to actors at leasO of the commonwealth
and the protectorate. The stage had been
under the strictest supervision, and was
practically suppressed. A few old actors
preserved in some sort the tradition of
Shakespeare's Gay, and there was more
than one who claimed Chat he had had in
struction in great parts from Shakespeare
himself. There were no actresses then.
There was Stephen Hammerton, "a most
noted and beautiful woman actor" and
later we find in Betterton's company one
Edward Kynaston. who is described by
Pepys as ''the loveliest lady that ever l saw
in my life"
The Restoration changed all this, for as
early as Jan. 3, 1861, Pepys enters in his
book, ITO the theatre, where was acted
'Beggar's Bush it being very well done,
and here the first time that ever saw wo-
men come upon the stage" In the course
of his long career as an actor-from 1860 to
11l0-Betterton was the chosen interpreter
of all the heroes of English drama. Be-
sides acting the great parts of Shakespeare,
he suffered under Sir William Davenant,
and later had the pick of all the Restora-
ton drama. In 1893 Jeremy Collie struck
a heavy blow at authors and actors with
his "Short View Of the immortality and
Profaneness of the English Stage" which
was Intellectually answered by Congreve.
Dryden, indeed, published an acknowl-
edgment, "digniiied and stately" of tho
business of Collie's attack, 50 far as it re-
ferred to him. Betterton played at his own
benefit in 1909 and died in the following
year. He was the great actor Of his time,
and was fortunate in wife whose talent
was hardly inferior to his own. The his
tory OF his stage career, corresponding rs
it exactly does with the history Of the
Restoration drama, is of the highest posi-
BILE interest to the student Of the stage.

Operagoers are constantly using the
words vibrato and tremolo, and yet few
perhaps could tell wherein these two vocal
habits exactly differ. The matter Is com
plicated by the fact that the words do not
mean the same thing in Instrumental and
vocal music. Violinists and violoncellists
frequently produce n fine effect by sort Of
rapid nervous shaking Of the left hand
without raising the finger from the string.
This is called vibrato, while tremolo is the
succession OF sounds by rapidly moving
the bow up and down on the same note.
In vocal Music, on the other hand, this APP
parent rapid iteration Of the same note
treally due to an alternate weakening aud
strengthening Of the tone) is called vibrato,
while the tremolo In vocal music resembles
the instrumental vibrato. In vocal music
both these habits are objectionable, except
In very rare cases.
