It is right that articles of food offered

to believe that il would be much more
beneficial. Even the producers of

Cost of snnerstition.

Nine people out of ten would say
that superstition cuts no figure in
finance, but there never was greater
mistake. Just to illustrate the point
it is only. necessary to call. attention
TO the fact that on the street railroad
lines In some OF our large cities, the
receipts per car are, on the average,
from four TO six dollars smaller on
Friday than on the other days of the
week. The cause is plain. Thou
sands of people will not move about
on Friday because of the superstition
connected with the day, and as con-
sequence the street car companies
suffer. Inquiry develops the fact
also that the same conditions apply
to steam roads and steamer lines, and
1t Is found that their ticket receipts
fall of heavily on that day. N

sleeves OF the embroidery are in gold

broidered front is ornamented with u

The front Is gored over the hips and

full at the top, so as to form folds. The
