Pet Superstitions

Humming a gay little tune she tripped

its becomingness.
"Oh, Mary" greeted the other as she
came in. "Oh, Mary. how dreadful"
What's the natter" she cried.
"Oh, OH" retorted the other. Isn't
isn't that your new dreSS?"
Why, yes,' answered Mary But
what is the matter with it? Isn't it ali

or the color? l was worried about the
color, but it seemed becoming once it
was made up.

wrinkle there at the side, maybe, though
it's only from the box. Oh. please tell
me what it is. lin afraid it's rather
loud, isn't it,
No there's nothing wrong with the

head. Its color is lovely; it fits beau

delayed and delaying way, you overes-
innate the accommodation. No omnibus
could ever contain the impatience, the
vexation, the spoiled dinners, the sore
throats. the bruised corns, the nervous
headaches. and the swallowed swear
words which you have caused.

moment when a man waits for. you at

With resigned faces and rejoicing
hearts, your acquaintance would ac-
cept it as a natural consequence. Con-
gratuIations would still be in order-to
the bridegroom for his escape from a
matrimonial drama consisting chiefly of
waits.
Fate. for once, would have shown
amazing discretion. The late Miss Blank

sion that you are interested in a man
simply because when you write his

though quite casually. My dear child,
pray, forgive an old maid who by rea-

love.
If We women didn't jump at Conclu-
sions, my dear, we should never arrive
anywhere, for no woman can reach
logical conclusion by logical methods.
That is, unless she is very modern, and
not often even then.
SO you say you can ride and walk
and talk and dance with this Mr..

questions as your recent love affair
with a married man. but you cannot

knowing what was right.
You can set me down as a wfsher
of wishes, and I'm glad of it. What
would become of my ambitions and my

I'm strong for tomorrow every time"
The present outshines the past. The

Said the salesman: "Well. most OF
us eat today and live tomorrow"
The bromide was offered as an in
terlude in a smoking car talkfest. 1t
was prompted by a criticism of the
"dreamers" of life made by a clergy
man of the party of five.
The drummer had taken up the
"dreamers cudgel with asperity
Don't throw stones at the dream
er.'' he continued. The bricks may
be 'boomerangiC' and hit you. The
'dreamers' are the prophets of the
world They see the civilization that
will be long before it arrives.
"Why look you, man." the goods
seller dilated vigorously. Christ
himself was the greatest dreamer
this world has ever had. His whole
life was a propheCy-a dream of the
coming man, the coming civilization.
He saw beyond the deformed. weak.
deficient. imperfect man to the per-
feet man. the ideal man, the image
of divinity.
"NO, sir" he concluded. don't
knock the 'dreamers.' We are all liv-
ing in the tomorrow. 1t is this dream
ing. this hoping. this constant expec-
fancy of better things that keeps up
our courage, overcomes the burdens
of life and lightens the way. What
would the poor do without this ability
TO hope? What would the sick do?
What would the poor devils in prison
do What would any of US do?"
That's right" interposed the boy
of the party, his face alight with
fervor. "Give me my Gold-plated
dream tonight, even If it does turn out
to be tin in the morning. Why. dreams
are the stuff we young fellows live on.
An old prof. at school used to say that

shall never fly in the face Of fate again.
Bah, What is it to have loved un-
happily? Even an oyster may be crossed
in love, said an old philosopher, but to
be able to love happily-that is the big
gest undertaking in life.
SO give your heart free rein, but put
on curb bit and keep the snaffe in
your head. It's safest.
That is the advice of your spinster
aunt.
