II is a well-known superstition that pea

incident of the rummage sale conducted
by the United Women of Maryland mas
been the unavailing effort day by day OF
zach committee in charge to dispose OF
n Ufe-size silver and bronze peacock
whose spreading plumage forms fire
screen and which is at once a thing Of
beauty and utility.
The screen was given by Mrs. Charles
7 Bonaparte and was regarded as very
salable. and a high price was fixed upon
il. But women came, admired, and went
away giving no specific reason for not
buying it. The price was lowered and it
was even offered at a bargain figure TO a
wealthy club woman whose family crest
included a peacock, but she averred she
would not have 1t for a gift
Ii finally dawned upon the ladies of the
committee that the club woman and pro-
cressiVe woman, alike. are as superStitl-

with natural optimism distinctive OF

Mary could then have her little lamb
as often as she could catch him, and
fleece him as satisfactorily as male

gaily into the sports that sometimes break
out in the closing hours before holidays,
and suffer her hat to be smashed and her
clothes torn with the same pollity and
freedom from restraint that the men do.
She would neither resent having the roses
pulled out OF her Easter bonnet or having
it banged over her eyes, nor hesitate to
cave in the stoVepipe woirl by her nearest
ncighbor. Aside from some faint resemb-
lance to the French ball at 4 o'clock in

like this on the Stock Exchange would
be quite inspiring and very twentieth
centuryish.
