that in the "Ingolsby Legends one
says, My father dear he is not here;
he seeks the Spanish main" There
was. however. certain Tagueness
about the speakers views as to what
particular thing was meant by the

some thinking another, and only one

4 Tree of Many Powers.

The ash tree is rich with superstition.
The old charlatans Of the middle ages
used it in their love potions, and the
damsels Of ancient times believed that
it would enable them to make their
sweethearts true and help them to dis
cover their future husbands. The in-
habitants of Iceland still look with
dread upon the use Of mountain ash as
fuel Their belief that it will make
enemies Of all who gather round a
hearthstone on which it burns is deep
seated and was once almost universal
IN Europe.
Superstitious seekers after good luck
may still be found invoking the spirit
of the even leaved ash, after the man
ner Of the ancient tree worshipers,
with the verses:
Even ash, do pluck thee,
Hoping thus to meet good luck;
II no luck get from thee
T shall wish thee on tree.

The Shopping Sex.

The Englishwoman never knows
when she enters shop what she
wants. She is swayed By impulse,
grabs wildly at everything she likes
or thinks she likes and probably comes
back and grumbleS the next day. She
is also completely lost if the shop
walkers do not dog her every footstep
to implore her to look at this charm
ing toQue" or condescend to .glance
at this special line in cheap skirts"
But the American woman resents any
suggestion that she does not know
what she wants, likes to be left Sc
yerely alone and if interfered with
may abruptly leave the shop. But,
while she is less irritating than the
Englishwoman, she is far more exact
