Who Have Superstitions-App
pirate Lenten Meditation.

One OF the subjects which the society
girls should pray for during Lent, is TO he
freed from the pernicious habit OF small
superstitions.
1t is astonishing 20 note that about every
girl one knows has a mascot, which TO lose
almost gives her Mysteries.
A pretty guest at one Of theca binet houses
lately had curious trinket of beaten gold
which she was never without. 1t was q
thing of beauty, and quite costly, that
she had picked up" in an antique shop
abroad, a dolphin, made of links OF beaten
gold interIaced curiously so the cunningiy
eontrived creature could be made large or
small at will. Once, not long since, she lost
it and was indespair. and thebcautifulsmile
with which she rewarded the housemaid
who restored her cherished talisman was
worthier a better cause.
Il Woald never have had any more good
fortune if it hadn't been found" she ex-
claimed earnestly.
The girls have forty days to get over this
nonsense. and with prayer and fasting, no
butter. and . O'Clock service, they may sue
