Tourists Carry Mascots to Insure Safe
 and Happy Voyages.

Tourists Carry Mascots to Insure Safe and Happy Voyages.
 Every motorist has her mascot, and even travellers by sea take their pet fetiches in their cabin boxes, just as travellers by land hang special tails mans round their necks, and even the deburante has some spell to insure her a successful and happy season. As rule. she chooses her birthstone worked into some clever ornament.
 Besides bringing luck to their wear manner of special attributes, which by some magical means they are sup posed to transmit to their wearers. Even in these prosaic days there is still more than q loophole for romance, and the wearing of a garnS, January's stone, for instance, is not considered the prerogative of January's children, but in the form of a ring or scarfpin should form an interchange gift be- tween two fiances. Garnets have since the most ancient days signified fidel ity and cOnStancy, and to forget to agree to an engagement this year without invoking the spell of the gar net Is to run counter to all present su- perstitions.
 Amethysts should be worn by all February's daughters. This stone is credited with the power of endowinl its owner with tact and discretion. If an amethyst mascot of some de- scription is worn, troubles of all kinds, from petty annOyances to difficult crises, are borne with a certain amount of philosophy, which, failing its help, would have given place to quarrel someness or short temper. In March the fiery bloodstone is chosen by all whose birthdays occur in the month of tempests.
 Lucky are those whose anniversa- ries occur in April and who can there fore claim the diamond and feel that their jewel cabinets are worth i'm measurably more than the January or March born, the special virtues con- nected with the stone being those of joy. purity and love. Emeralds for those who have a claim on one of the thirty-one days of May represent an enviable stroke of fortune, while it is said that when carrying her stone the wearer will never be the victim of false friends.
 Agates for June and rubies for July come next in order. The ruby of all the precious stones is supposed to pro- tect its possessor from harm. of every description, but especially from pol son.
 The August born have to depend on the sardonyx to bring them luck, while in September the sapphire-the sacred stone of the east-provides its owner. besides. with a raison d'etre for wear ing a touch of the beautiful shade of blue whenever possible.
 Treacherous though the opal may be in the imaginations of many people, an exception Is always made in favor of those whose birthdays occur In Octo- Der and to whom it signifies hope and happiness.
 The November and December born are particularly fortunate in their pre- paz brings its owner power to dispel anger in others and to prevent sadness and depression, while the turquoise the gem of the last month of the year is an emblem of happiness, success and prosperity.

Rilliken,s Successor.

Billiken, it would seem, is entirely dethroned, and in the place of this happy looking little figure Is the equal ly happy looking statuette of the new president Prosperity Bill" is the name 1t bears. The arms are folded over the breast, as though in perfect content, while the smile extends across the whole face.
 The attitude is much the same as that adopted by Billiken, so that the Hhange is not noticeable at first sight Tte price of these figures is 70 cents.
