A Weddina Rina Superstition,

Although there was lifelong friendship 10 back up their business deals. the jeweler was not surprised when his old customer who had mar ried second time bought the wedding ring at another shop.
 "If he should take q third wife he would buy the ring at still another store." the jeweler said. "'rhat is one of the superstitions of the trade A man may have the marrying habit ever so bad and require several we'd ding rings in his time. yet he never buys any two of them from the same place. Jewellers do not expect it. They don't want tO sell two wedding rings 10 the same man. Bad luck would surely light on all concerned. and there is enough trouble in the world anyhow without deliberately inviting more of it by defying a good old we'd ding ring superstitution.

MAY0NN NNAISE.
The Way the Genuine Dressing Is Pre-
 pared by French Cooks.

The Way the Genuine Dressing Is Pre-
 pared by French Cooks.
 Housewives concOct all sorts of dressings - cooked and uncooked - which they call mayOnnaise, but which are not properly entitled to that name. The genuine mayonnaise as prepared by French cooks is made by combining olive oil, egg yoke and vinegar without cooking in such a way that the mix ture will not curdle. The proportions of these ingredients and the method of putting them together may be varied, and mustard and similar seasonings may be added, but fundamentally the real mayonnaise Is always the same The following rule will be found good one:
 Have ready one egg yolk, one scant cupful of olive oil, three teaspoonfuls of vinegar. a tablespoonful of salt, a saltspoonfuI of sugar, a light dust of cayenne and a level half teaspoonful of powdered mustard. Break the yolk with a fork. beat the mustard, salt, pepper and sugar into 1t and when a smooth mixture has been formed be- gin adding the oil, drop by drop, until the whole begins to look like creamed butter Then pour in the oil faster until all is used. While the oil is be- ing added the dressing should be beat en constantly with fork. Last of all, pour in the vinegar very slowly. beat ing the dressing rapidly while doing so. Set it on ice to stand until want ed and add 1t to the salad the last mo- ment before serving.
 It is well to have everything very cold when making this dressing, all though excellent mayonnaise has been made without the use of ice, but the oil must not be so cold that it has be- gun to thicken. It is sometimes stated that the drop by drop method is un- necessary, but while success may be obtained by putting the ingredients together more quickly it is always risky to do so. The drop by drop method practically insures success. If desired lime juice may be substituted for the vinegar.-Exchange

 Stage fright is not one of the emo Hons which get across the footlights," writes Miss Alice Crawford. Audi ences are for the most part as serene ly unconscious of 1t as they are of other individual sentiments in the ac- tors having no relation Ito the incl dents of the play.
 'T shall never forget an instance of this curious insensibility of the crowd. Once when I was touring one of the most charming and popular girls of the company died after only few days illness. She was one of those sweet, tranquil natures and had en- deared herself to us all. Her death in lodgings in the small provincial town had an element of real tragedy in it.
 "The news that she was dead reach ed the theater In the evening just as two of the actors and l were about to go on for scene of broad comedy We went on the stage with tears In our eyes, and l can still see the face of one of those comedians with the great tears glistening on the paint. He was dreadfully affected. Try as he would, he could not control his voice. and the tears kept choking him as he rattled off his lines.
 "The audience were convulsed every fir1n nd da cry more than ever to see the grief shaking him as he glfnned and chaffed through his tears. Yet that comedy scene never went so well before. The audience never guessed. Exchange.

wanted-Two Good Murderers.

Some curious letters passed between Garrtck and a man named Stone. The latter was employed to get recruits for the low parts of the drama, and one night he wrote to Garrick, "Sir, the bishop of Winchester is getting drunk at the Bear and swears he will not play tonight"
 At first sight this seems peculiar con duct for bishop. but it should be ex- plained that the communication only refers to the man engaged to take that charartrr in the play of Henry VIII"
 On another occasion Garrick wrote to Stone: "If you can get me two good murderers | will pay you handsomely, particularly the spouting fellow who keeps the apple stall on Tower bill. The cut in his face Is just the thing Pick me up an alderman or two for Richard if you can, and have no ob, jection to treat with you for a comedy mayor"
