A Well Superstition.

One of the comparatively modern SUI
perstitions of the eve of All Saints is
found at the bottom of old and aban-
loned lime kilns. Just where it began
nobody can tell with certainty, but in
all probability Ireland has the best claim
to it. At all events, it used to flourish in
that country some years ago. A girl
with no beau or girl with too many
beaux is puzzled to find out who is the
lucky chap destined to become her hus-
bond. In such predicament all she has
to do is to arm herself with a spool of
strong thread and start off after dark on
the eve of Ali Saints to some old lime
kiln reputed to be the abode of evil
spirits.
Standing alone on the edge of the deep
hole, the candidate for matrimony re-
peats the Lords prayer backward. Then
she takes the end of the thread in her
left hand, and after tossing the spool into
the chasm before her, patiently waits for
bite. Soon she will feel three pulls
and she must politely ask his satanic mai
esty to be kind enough to tell her the
name of her future husband. A voice
below will pronounce the name. --Galig-
hani Messenger.

The new bonnets are mostly in the
Quaker style, with broad ribbon strings
which tie under the chin in wide
picked out bow. Some of them have
the front dented down in Mary Stuart
style. The poke is prettier for young
faces and the dented rather more be-
coming for older ones. Any of the
Quaker styles is pretty and generally

The GoodaIe Sisters.
Especial Correspondence

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-"Mrs. Eastman
still writes for us, as does her sister,"
said two of the editors of The Independ-
ent yesterday, and somebody said, "Who
is Mrs. Eastman
She is one of two sisters who genera
ton ago, almost, were celebrated-wer
even counted famous-as the infant phe-
nomena of the Berkshire hills. They
Dora and Elaine Goodale-wrote poetry
whichwas good enough to command the
respectful attention of critics when they
were still little children, it is said before
they were in their teens.
Today they are far apart, though their
names will always be closely linked to-
gether. Elaine, the younger sister, is
married to Sioux Indian and is engaged
in educational missionary work at the
famous. Pine Ridge agency, while Dora
Read Goodale, still a spinster, remains
at home with her mother, Mrs. D. FL. r.
Goodale, who was also in her day a lit
erary woman.
The marriage of Elaine has already
been the subject of many columns Of
newspaper comment. Her present life
among the Indians has been the subject
of several letters from her. Something
sterner than the weaving of rhymes"
will probably occupy the poetess for the
rest of her life. Her literary work, how
ever, has been for a considerable time
more in prose than in verse, and has
generally taken the form of letters on
the subject to which she has devoted her
life. The Independent is still the paper
to which she writes most frequently, it
being the one through which she and
her sister first commanded public atten-
ton, but she writes for other papers as
well.
So does Dora. Her life has all or
nearly all been passed at the old home
stead called, Sky Farm, in Northampton,
but her name has been fairly established
as that of favorite writer. She is ad-
vertised as one of the regular contribu-
tors to Good Housekeeping, and like
her sister writes more prose than poetry.
OF late years neither one of the sisters
has attempted anything more ambitious
than contributions to periodical litera-
ture, and it is said that the volumes they
published SO long ago were far from be-
ing pecuniarily profitable. d. A. 9.

The Autumn Girl.


She's left the bounding pillows, and she's COM
ing back to town,
Her mind filed up with visions of the latest
autumn gown.
The percale shirt and collar, and the necktie
that shewor
Were packed in Saratogas on the day she left
the shore;
And when we see her once again, to all it viii;
be clear
The Summer girl has left us and the Autumn
girl is here.
From mountain tops where breezes have
strewed roses on her cheeks,
From lake and grove and river, where the soul
of Nature speaks,
From giddy summer circles, where the wheel
of fashion rolls,
And Cupid wings his arrows at the gilded
throng that strolls,
She's vanished like a vision las the clouds that
disappear,
The Summer girl has left us and the Autumn
girl is here.
The rocks that front the ocean look deserted
now and bare;
The breezes wander aimlessly in search of yell
low hair:
The cruel waves have sought the sand and
washed her prints away,
And autumn leaves have covered up her nook
of yesterday.
We miss her-yes. we miss her, yet we do not
shed tear:
The Summer girl has left us, but-the Autumn
girl is here.

that done in cloth is more effective,

In white fiannels and merino she was seen at

Where her beauty was admired, and the Co.'S

In the surf at Narragansett served to very much

Till the button-pressing kodak fiends were

On the Richfield lawns she fiirted with the

And her dancing was delightful at the ger

That, in spite of all, she didn't get single
