A PRIL Firstl The Feast Of
u the Fool!
The student sees in
the day the fast-disap-
pearing remnants Of
those ancient masques and cere-
monies which greeted the new
year, IN times when this fourth
month came first of all the twelve.
Modern youth sees in it merely a
more or less licensed chance to
"get even" with his elders. May not
the festival also bring again before
the ultilitarian eyes of the present
the world-old faith in superstition?
April Fools Day may never fall on
the thirteenth. but 1t can and does
arrive on Friday once in awhile,
and then even Halloween scarce
surpasses II In the observances
which show that m&nkinds belief
in mascots, or fear Of dreams or
numbers, has not lessened with the
years.
Caruso, the tenor, whose notes
have q value quite on par with
those of a captain of finance, calls
April his lucky month. But then
the Cavalier Enrico believes that
his immense good fortune is not
wholly disconnected with the
presence of some little French
dolls. which sit before him on his
desk, whether ne be travelling from
one triumph to another. or be
resting at his Florentine villa. He
doesn't admit this, but the fact
remains--and the dolls.

Governor Warfield, of Maryland,

has thirteen letters to his name.
while he was elected the 18th chief

January 49,

At least four of Europe's notables
share this dread of Chicago's ex-
mayor Miss Lettice Fairfax, Lon
don's latest beauty, and the talented
Countess of Mar and Kellie, must
share their table pleasures with
either more or less than the baker
dozen, and it is a well-known fact
that Margherita, the Dowager Queen
of Italy, has ever in waiting pleas

play fourteenth guest whenever the
thirteen terror appears. And worst
of them all, however, is Prince Ferd-
inand of Bulgaria. When, not long
ago, ne went to Bourgas to open its

bed the mayor for no other reason
than that he had thirteen children
and had announced himself as proud
of it. However this may be. it is
certain that the minister of public
works, feeling obliged to refer to the
princes initiation Tin 1922 of the
now-completed work, began as fol-
lows: Twelve years and twelve

all went well.
