Zunf cuisine and Table Manners,
The code of dlfferential pollteness In
tho home, as taught by the matron Of
,e casa, is a very definite an exactins
one. No matter how hunger panged q
family may be, 1t will not dine until all
be present or their absence accounted
for; and as soon as one has finished
eating, all desist. But 1t is also an un.
pardonable breach of etiquette If any
one is SO badly hammered as to stop al
his eating while any other has his hun.
ger still unsatisied.
The Zuni cuisine Is a varied one, and
a dinner, as placed on the floor before a
family and its guests, will sometimes
number a dozen platos, almost any one
of which is a puzzle to a stranger. Corn,
chiles, meats and vegetables are the
of the dishes, and the results are gen.
orally satisfactory, although sometimes
surprising to an alien. The greatest
delicacy In all the list, according to ma
tive judgment, Is made of stuffed and

ut was possible, but telling her husband
the plain, unvarnished truth. She con-
cealed nothing but the wrong. that Bea-
trice had intended to her son.
An hour passed, and still the clear,
sweet voice never tired nor faltered. She
told him of her love for Rupert, and of
the boys passionate affection for her. She
laid her whole life bare before him. He
only spoke once, and then it was to cry
out:
Gould all this be, and / not know it?'
When she had finished, Violante, Lady
Selwyn, knelt again at her husbands feet.
Judge me-" she said; ~ have told you

the great wrong l did. At the time l

'but, my darling, it was a woman's error,
after all, and l pardon it."
"You forgive met" she said.

pardon. If l had not been so careless and
negligent, you could not have suffered so.
V~iolante. oh, my darling, thank heaven
for sending you back to me; my heart lay

The last of the golden sunbeams died
away, the moon rose, the stars came out,

at first some alarm; then, when the sweet
face smiled upon them once more, there
was nothing but joy.
Rupert had always declared that Mrs,
Rivers had his mothers soul. How he ca.
ressed her, and hung over her, and could
not bear to leave her; how he leased her
about the black hair, and the blue glasses;
how he cried and laughed!

ed. Nothing so romantic had happened
for a long time. The story went the
rounds of all the English and continental
papers. There was no use in attempting
any disguise. The plain truth was told.
People wondered at 1t, then forgot.
The last news heard from Selwyn Cas-
tle-the ~happiest home In ~England-was
that Rupert, the heir of Selwyn, who dis
tinguished himself so greatly at Oxford,
and afterward in Parliament, was about
to marry the beautiful daughter of the
Countess Sitani.
For Vivian and Violante peace has come
at last. There is no happier or more pros

Selwyn Castle; and his fair, gentle wife

Der thirteen is very nearly expunged
from the vocabulary of the people; o
Is there any lack of explanation of this
almost universal idea. At least TWO are
furnished for Il choice.
In the old Morse mythology, when
the gods in yalhalla were holding high
revel, Loki. came in as an unlimited
guest. The consequence was that as
soon as Baldur arrived he made the
number of guests thirteen, and fate
decreeds that he should die. Christians
refer to another and more solemn in
cident.. There were thirteen who par
took of the last supper, and Judas, who
left the table first, went and hanged
himself. 1t was In consequence of this
that the number was accused, together,
apparently, with all combinations OF
figures into which 1t enters. Sooner
or later 1t was, of course, inevitable
that so widespread and SO fascinating
q superstition should be challenged.
Some thirteen years ago-the very in
terVal Oh time Is an odd coincidence

express purpose of waglng war against
the associations connected with the luck

thirteen. They dined together on the
thirteenth of every month, thirteen at
