An Irish Superstition.

In the rural parts of Ireland it
is considered unlucky to meet Q
red-haired woman on going out in
the morning, especially a Monday
morning, for then the whole of the
coming week is involved in the ill
luck. There is an Irish story of a
newly appointed village postman
who, on starting forth to deliver
his first batch of letters, had the
misfortune to encounter woman
with red hair. He promptly went
home with his bag and there was
no postal delivery in the township
that day.

Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-25

| As the swords crossed, a grim silence fell
over the noisy crowd, for every one felt in
stinctively that there was serious work at
hand.
1t soon became evident that Michael though
the best swordsman of his regiment, was no
match for the practiced fencer. But, on the
other hand, his perfect GOODNESS gave him a
great advantage, over his enraged enemy; and
moreover, as the younger and lighter man,
he was less likely to be fatigued by the STRAIN
of prolonged struggle.
Sparks flew in showers as the sabres clashed
together again and again, while the whole
steel; but as yet neither man had got
scratch. At length Michaels shoulder was
slightly wounded by swift back stroke
from Goriot, whose comrades set up shout
of triumph
But Michael was not whit .disheartened.
He saw that his bulky antagonist was losing
breath, and kept drawing him hither and
thither, guarding his blows without returning
them, till Red Hand, enraged at being so
stoutly opposed, began to strike recklessly,
Quick as lightning Michael's sword flashed
and fell, and broad stain of crimson showed
itself upon Goriot's left sleeve
Hes Red Hand now, sure enough" shout
ed the Light Dragons, exultingly...
Furious at the pain and the taunting laugh
ter, Goriot dealt a blow at his enemy, which,
had not Michaels guard partly broken its
lOTce, WOulu nave tHueu uBhH
then Even as it was, although Red Hands
sword luckily hit him with the fiat instead OF
the edge, it descended on his head with, a
force sufficient to beat him down upon his
knees.
The in-drawn breath of the excited specta-
tors sounded like hiss in that dead silence;
but all was not over yet. There came a
quick trampling of feet, a sudden flash OF
steel, and then, as if by magic, Michael was
seen upon his feet again, while Goriot's strong
right hand laid open by fearful cash, hung
powerless at his side.
"a lucky stroke for thee Michael" cried
his comrades, rushing to embrace the con-
queror.
"But not for GOriot," said the regimenta
surgeon, hastily examining the wound; "for
this hand of his will never hold a sabre
again."
That blow, however, was a lucky one for
Goriot, after ALL His disabement from ac-
tive service saved him from being destroyed
along with his regiment, which was cut to
pieces soon after upon Flemish battlefield,
and it secured him in later days a pension of
two thousand francs a year from his old an.
tagonist Michael, who had by that time be-
come General Michael Ney, Marshal of the
French Empire, Prince of Moskwa, and fa
yorte companion of the Emperor Napoleon
himself.

! can be Of any service to you, pray command

can be of any service to you, pray command
me-"
Qt was a common saying among the "Heav.
les" that "Red Hand" was always most
dangerous when he was very polite; and he
was extremely polite now.)
If I'm not Mistaken" continued Goriot,
turning to the Light Dragons, there is a
little discussion going on as to the merits of
our two regiments. Well, that is surely a
matter very easily settled by men who know
how to handle their swords. Choose the best
man among you to maintain the credit of
your regiment, and l, if no better champion
should come forward. will maintain the credit
Of mine"
But there was no answer to the challenge.
Those who heard it were all brave men, but
to be cut down like grass by this terrible
swordsman, who had never met his match,
and to bring disgrace upon the whole reg-
ment by doing so, was a thing not to be
lightly ventured on.
''What!" cried the bully, sneeringy,
"among so many stout fellows, will no one
dare to cross swords with me for the honor
OF his uniform"
81 will"
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-25

All turned round in amazement at this un-
expected defiance; and when they saw who
had uttered it, they wondered still more
Behind the group stood short, thick-set,
swarthy young man of twenty, in the uni
form of Light Dragon. He had plain,
course, rather heavy face, and there was
certainly nothing in his appearance from
which any one could have guessed that he
was soon to become one of the most famous
men in Europe.
But young Michael was already proverbial
for cool courage which nothing could shake,
and in every dangerous emergency he seemed
to take the lead among his comrades as a mat
ter of course.
Hadn't you better go back to your mamma
for a year or two, my child?" said Goriot,
staring scornfully at the lads smooth face
You're hardly tit to go among men yet"
We'll" answered the young dragoon, quiet
ly, Il may not have learned much. but
think L have learned how to carve fat
goose"
This biting joke and the roar of laughter
that followed it were too much for the hot
tempered Red Hand. With a growl of fury
he tore off his coat and unsheat6ed his sabre
while Michael did the same.

"She come close by, sah." continued the
cook. "Spose we holler? She hear us, per-

Slowly the sun sank toward the western
horizon slowly did our hope of rescue loom
larger as the breeze waited her across the sea.
Night at length shut out all hope of ever
seeing her again. How anxiously did we
watch as the stars shone out, but no sign of
the ship could be discerned.
When day broke our weary eyes scanned
the horizon in every direction. Not a speck
was anywhere visible. Our injured companion
was partly unconscious, but craved for water.
Our own sufferings were considerable, but all
strove to look the position calmly ia the face.

the northwestern border of France
Voices were heard raised in loud and angry
contention among the stalwart figures lin the
Uniform of French dragons who crowded the
whole courtyard. Fists were shaken threat
eningly, and more than one sabre was seen
glittering> in the air above the heads of the
throng.
Several small boys from the town were
peeplng through the gateway, half pleased
and half frightened by the uproar. The land
lady was watching the tumult with pale,
scared face from the window of the bar, while
the landlord himself, assisted by his son and
the two thin, sallow walters, was getting all
the plates and glasses out of harms way
as fast as possible, knowing by sad experience
that whenever these hot-blooded troopers be-
gan to quarrel, the dispute was pretty cer-
tain to end in a general smash of everything
breakable upon the premises.
The fact was that a number of soldiers be-
longing to the two cavalry regiments that
were quartered in the town had been dining
at the little inn that evening. AS matter
of course, they began to boast of the exploits
performed by their respective regiments; and,
equally, as matter of course, they soon got
to high words over the question of which was
the better regiment OF the two.
The dispute was just at its hottest, when
"Here comes 'Main-Rouge' (Red Hand)!
He'll soon settle it"
At that name the Light Dragons looked
visibly disturbed, while the "Heavies" bright
ened up at once; for this "Main-Rouge" was
their regimental fencing master, and the most
famous swordsman in the whole district. His
real name was Pierre Goriot, but the many
fatal dues that he had fought had earned him
the ominous nickname of "Red Hand"
In he came, tall and powerful man, though
already somewhat stouter than he should
have been. His large hooked nose and keen
black eye made every one who looked at him
think of an eagle: and no eagle could have
been quicker to pounee upon any one that
came in his way.
Delighted to find that I've come just in
time to settle any disputed question:" said
the great swordsman, laying one hand upon
the hilt of his sabre and twisting his huge
black moustache defianty with the other IF

limited time only. The numerous afternoon and
evening card parties have given new impetus to
the sale of linens now that many clubs have
been formed. This is particularly true among the
smaller pieces, such as tray covers and small
luncheon cloths, which are employed for the
card tables, besides plate and centrepece doilies
which are preferred by some hostesses to the
larger designs.
Small and dainty napkins are being employed
in place Of the larger ones, which are really out
of place when light refreshments are offered
CRAZE FOR HANDWORK RESULTS
Apparently the variety of handwork has
reached its climax in the wonderful combinations
of lace and embroidery seen upon household lin
ems, which are also a dominating characteristic
among the fine dimity and muslin robes to be
worn next summer.
Shown among the illustrations is portion Of
a luncheon cloth or large centrepiece composed
of English eyelet embroidery and Point de Fand-
ers thrown into bold relief by exquisite border
of Italian ilet lace The effect, as you imagine,
is stunning and provokes within the susceptible
feminine heart an uncomfortable desire to break
the Commandments.
The unusual in embroidery and lace meshes
are usually those chosen for combination pieces,
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1906-01-28

so that the individual beauty of one pattern is
not overbalanced by another.
This exquisite piece was made in France, and
required the patient and efficient efforts Of one
expert needlewoman just one whole year to com
plete its size being thirty-six inches in diameter
and the price, $50.
Point dArabe, eyelet and Venise lace were
combined on another centrepiece, in fact, the
set was complete.
QUAINT CHARM OF FlLEr LACE
These square meshed laces are having extreme
vogue for household linens this season The same
sweeping popularity is extended to them that
was accorded to Renaissance laces a few years
ago.
Filet laces, TO be sure. are not as ornate, or as
the little girl expressed it, less "gingerbready
than the bold curves of the Renaissance patterns
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1906-01-28

This work requires special skill and is thought to
be extremely elegant when hand made
A certain conservative hostess entertained the
members of her bridge club at luncheon the
other day and the visions of the exquisite table
linen still abides in the memory of every woman
who was present.
The ancestral mahogany board was polished to
mrror-like surface. Old squares of Italian flet
lace were used at each cover each design being
different and edged with thread lace, put on fiat
along the sides and quantity frilled at the cor
ners.
Cameo-like heads of men and women with
strictly Grecian prohles, pictures of animals,
birds of wonderful plumage, geometric designs, be-
sides a host of neurological figures formed the
striking array of decorations employed for the
doilies.
The centrepece resembled patchwork quilt
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1906-01-28

The stripes in many cases curve toward the cen
tire, and therefore show up more striking than
when they follow the straight outline of the cloth.
Some of the handsomest designs are patterned
after the famous altar cloths. One especially
sumptuous cloth shown in one of the best shops,
was patterned after the lace robes worn by Car
dinal Richeeu. Here one sees the combination
of varied designs of hand made laces, in block
medalllons, thrown into splendid relief by the del
icate damask traceries
While lace trimmed cloths are, of course, very
elegant, handsome damask linens find equal,
and are preferred in many cases to cloths inset
with laces and hand embroideries.
Napkins in the dinner size are available in pat
terms to match the cloths.
There is always more or less argument on the
question of placing the monogram on table cloths,
but the best location and one in full view OF the
guests is twenty-four inches from the centre, two,
OF course, being employed.
UNIQUE DESIGNS IN SHOW TOWELS
While fringed towels are supposed to have had
their day, especially handsome "show" towel
in Italian crepe cloth is regarded as quite ee.

beauty. A copy of this towel numbers among the
sketches.
