The EnsIishvoman's Latchkey.

Talking about the British aristocra-
cy, q woman who has met 1t on its ma
tive heath tells me that the feminine
section of It never stirs out without a
latchkey. We carry latchkeys over
here, but we don't do 1t In the British
way. The American woman ties her
key In the corner of her handkerchief
or hides 1t under the mat or puts it In
to her purse along with cold cream rec
ipes and car tickets and samples. The
English parades hers. The wo-
man who knows her tells me that she
has seen latchkeys set with precious
stones and fastened to long chains.
She has seen them gilded and strung
from belts; she has seen them with
pins on the back of them, worn as
brooches. She tells me that the Eng
llshwoman would no sooner leave her
latchkey at home than her husband
would his bath. The thing Is possibly
new to the Englishwoman and, being
new, Ia paraded With Us over here
1t Is an old story. Possessing the re-
ality, the symbol Is Of small moment
to US. We are content to leave the
latchkey under the mat.-Washingto

Whenever looking glass appears In
a scene In play above fireplace, in
sideboard or a cabinet one Is almost
sure to hear somebody ask his or her

ed with whiting or soap or something
that dulls its surface completely. All
sorts of reasons are hazarded or sug-
gested. Sometimes it Is stated that II
Is done for luck, Mt others that they
did not intend to leave 1t dirty. The
real explanation is, however, a simple
one. The glass is dirtied to prevent
