LUCKY CHARMS AT BRIDGE.

SuperstitiOus Women Dislike 10 Play
without TaIIsman.
Jewels about which some virtue is
supposed to linger is a superstition as
old as time. But new set of charms
has been brought into existence by
what is known as bridge luck" There
are charms of almost inconceivable
variety which superstitious women
carry about in the firm belief that they
are Indispensable to their success at
cards, and why doubt it? Thought is
very potent; therefore. if one thinks a
icharm is lucky it becomes so because
it is willed to be. True. the unimagin-
ative, unsensitive person cannot posi-
bly, see why the woman with talisman
turns up the right card or wins a point
so much oftener than one who has for
gotten to bring the cham TO sltdown
rubber. 1t is useless trying to explain.
but let the fact suffice, for it is said
that some players go to the point OF
keeping the lucky object in their hand
till the last card Is played.
And these lucky charms2 Some are

Being n Spinster.

One spinster has set forth with her
pen the following reasons why she
rather enjoys spinsterhood
She does not have one man to love
and cherish her; but she may have
the friendship, the cordial esteem and
interest of half a dozen.
She does not have one to pay her
dressmaker, her halter, her shoeman
and the rest; but she may have half
score for less serviceabie uses-haIf
q score who send her books, flowers,
tickets, who walk, play golf, drive,
skate, talk with her.
One man does not come to her for
deep understanding of his needs many
may come with their quite serious in
terests.
Her sincere. enjoyable, stimulating.
friendly relations with men, as with
women, are limited only by her own
power of intellectual sympathy-at
any rate, in those circles which admit
any basis OF companionship between
men and women beyond the emotional.

CHAPTER XIV.


The excitement and gossip about Lord
John Glendurwood's romantic marriage
fingered much longer than the proverbiaI
nine days.
A month passed away, and a curious
month it was to Audrey. Every day she
eat with her mother studying French
and Italian, and having her first lessons
ON the piano and in singing. Audrey
lived in her dreams and in her studies.
She was so strangely, incomprehensibly
happy To define Der condition of mind
would be an impossib''ity. L. seemed to
her as though some fairy had suddenly
touched her with wand, and everything
about her had changed to this delightful
existence. IN dim, misty sort of way.
abe recognized that she had become a
grand lady, but that was not by any
means a certainty.
She wrote often to Jean Thyait and
reiterated her vows Of never-ending love,
but somehow Jeans letters panied Der
and left a sort of discomfort.
Jean, in fact, was alarmed at all that
had happened to her whilom friend. and
now that Audrey was a grand married
lady she was separated from her humble
childhood's cmpanion by a social chasm
hey could never bridge over; therefore
Jean wrote timidly and with much con-
Btrains, and both girls sighed over the
simple yet strong friendship which had
lived and now was ended.

other in tone and repeats definitely its

Very Clipper Out This Way

. A gentleman travelling extensively
over this state in the interests of high
grade instruments, and a man whose
word has weight when he speaks, says
it is surprising to note the general
tone Of the people in western North
Dakota and eastern Montana. The
recent panicky feeling noted SO much
elsewhere is scarcely given a thought
here. To be sure it is talked over a
bit, but it has never approached near
enough to produce a scare. During
the past month the piano trade has
been top notcher in this section, and
even the past week or ten days sales
have been the very best, The stock
men and the sheepmen, he says, seem
to have more money than usual, due
to the fact that their products have
commander an unusual price. The
people have faith in the country and
knowing that they. themselves4are
not pinehed refuse to believe that the
panicky feeling will be felt except in
certain sections of the country. The
lesson to be drawn from observations
Hike these is that an abnormal condi-
tion will have to prevail before the
country as whole will give way to
a feeling yof depression -a
