While Christmas comes but once
a year, an umbrella opportunity such
as this is rarer still.
Two sorts and two prices. both
with splendid silk and strong frame
either 26 or % inches-Y3.S5 and
$5.35.
But this is more of handle sale
than an umbrella sale. Not one OF
the $3.S5 kind has a handle worth
less than So; not one at $5.35 with
a handle worth less than $Io.

Old Snnerstitfons.

Among many other old superstit.ons as
sociated with New Ye ar's is belief that if
a lamp or candle be taken out ofa house
on that day some member of the family
will die within twelvemonth, while to
throw out dirty water, ashes or anything
whatever. no matter how worthless, is re-
garded as certain to bring i'll luck during
the whole of that year. If the first visitor
to dwelling on New Years day is fe-
male, and she is admitted, misfortune and
misery are said TO be sure to follow that
household for the next IL months, while it
is also thought to bode serious evil to a
lady if her first New Years caller be dark
complexioned, dark haired man instead of
one whose hair.and skin are fair.

Pin Money.

All ladies know what pin money is, but
it may be interesting to them to learn the
origin of the expression, and also to know
that it is directly connected with New
Years day. Until the beginning of the six
teenth century the only pins used by the
poorer classes were made of wood. In fact,
they were no pins at all, but skewers,
which, for the use of the wealthy, were OF
lockwood, bone and silver. At the period
above named the metal pins now in use
were invented, and people of fashion were
eager TO possess them. They at once be-
came the most popular and acceptable
New Years gift for ladies, but it soon grew
customary to give, instead of the pins
themselves, the money with which to pur-
chase them, and this was called "pin mon
ey," term which gradually came to be
applied to all money given to ladies for
dress and personal adornment.
