THEY WEREN'T SUPERSTlTiOUS.
Blu: All Their Friends Seemed to BE In .
Great Variety of Ways

But All Their Friends seemed to Be In .
Great Variety of Ways.
"Are you superstitious?" asked the
girl with the blue sunshade.
Not Bit" answered the girl with
the white waistcoat.
Neither am |, but Nellie is awfullv
so: why, the other day she dropped a
fork at the breakfast table and ran up
stairs to curl her bangs, perfectly sure
that Sam was on his way from Califor-
MIA to surprise her"
And did he Gomez" breathlesslv
asked the girl with the white waist
coat.
''Of course not. And there's Minnie:
why, she dreamed the other night that
she was at big funeral, and, as dreams
go by contraries, she refuses to wear
her new evening dress because she IS
sure she will be invited to swell we'd
ding right away"
How foolish of her. Why, her father
would have to buy her new dress if
that one was soiled.
$50 l told her. Well, amnot super
stitious, but ! should hate to marry the
thirteenth baron of Blazerfield as Jen-
ME expects TO do. Something awful
will be sure to happen to her-especial-
ly if she continues to put on SO many
airs"
Eyes, indeed speaking of tina. re-
minds me of Della-you know she
dropped her bouquet as she started up
the aisle to be married. Every body
said that was sure to bring her i'll
luck"
'What happened to her? Do tell
me-"
80, nothing; only she got hundred
and ten presents, and eighty-seven of
them were souvenir spoons.
20, you know how superstitious Fan
is about the number thirteen. Well.
the other day sudden shower came
up and she took refuge in the first
street car that came along. As soon
as she saw the conductors number she
was sure something awful would hap
pen, but it was risk it or ruin her new
dress-O, it was just awful"
What was it? Tell me quickl'
"Why, right across from her was a
girl she hadn't spoken TO for a year, and
with her was Charley-and Fan had
only returned his ring the day before"
How perfectly dreadful. ! must
tell you a bout Fife; she dreamed ths
other night that runaway horse
knocked her down, so of course she was
afraid TO go out that day"
'Of course, it might"
$50 she just stayed in and young
Boreby saw her at the window and
came in and read his epic poem TO her. "
'eGraciousl Did Emma ever tell you
how she finally helped George to pro-
pose?"
mo. I've often wondered how"
"Whv. she asked him II he was at all
superstitious; of course he answered
no."
"'Wen?"
''She just said: Neither am /, but
fortune teller told me yesterday that
you wanted to ask. me 10 marry you and
were afraid ] would refuse; wasn't II
foolishp'"
well, never-what did be do them"
Emma didn't tell me, but their we'd
ding cards are out.
20. Susie says she is going 20 tell
Fred that the last nail has fallen out O;
her horseshoe.
But don't understand"
THAT means she is 10 be married
this year, goosie-
Goodness. that must be Why Phil
took all the nails out OF the one he
gave me.
Very likely. It's the only way he'd
ever have the courage 20 ask you.
Well I'm glad I'm not superstitions
like some people"
so am ]. Let's cross over and sc:
some soda water"
"All right; but wait until this funeral !
passes-its awful unlucky 20 pass be- I
tween the carriages al . funeral CHI I.
