The only attention We pay to a
sneeze at the present day is to en-
deavor to get rid Of the chill which
causes 1t: but sneeze in the days Of
old Greece was a matter of great con-
Germ and import
There was then a god of sneezing,
and great undertakings would even
be abandoned If a man sneezed at an
inappropriate moment, the act being
looked upon as the oracle of the god.
A sneeze between midnight and
noon was looked upon as a fortunate
sign,' but between noon and midnight
1t betokened great misfortune. To
sneeze to your right was lucky; to
the left -unlucky. Two or four sneezes
We're lucky, one or three very un-
lucky and any undertaking in hand
should If possible be abandoned; more
than four sneezes did not count.
There is a saying in many parts of
England today: "Once a wish, twice
kiss, three times letter. four times
something better" If people sneezed
together 1t was a good sign. particu-
larlys If they happened to be discuss

BEAUTY NO LONGER A MARVEL
Time Has Gone BY When World
Stopped to Wonder at Lowell
ness of Women.

Within the last week two well-known,
beautiful, rich society girls, both
young, both popular, with all doors to
which society has the key flung open
before them, have elected to 60 into an
East End hospital and scrub floors for
pauper invalids. Perhaps they Will
not stick to it; the important thing IL
that they want to try it.
The fact is that we are no longer
sufficiently satisfied with beauty to
think woman has justified herself by
being good to look at. Thirty or forty
years ago people came from every
part Of the world to see Georgiana
Lady Dudley, Mrs. Langtry and Mrs.
Corvallis walk in the park. At
an earlier date the beautiful Cummings
caused riots, so great was the anxiety
to see them. Anne of Austria drew
people from the most inaccessible cor
ners of what was then a very inacces-
sible world, who made their way with
year-long journeys to Paris, caught q
glimpse of her entering her carriage
and went home again saying they had
seen loyelincss itself Today we
would not cross the road to see pret-
ty woman, possibly because there are
so many of them Indeed, beautiful
women of today are more admired by
women than by men. But in any case
beauty as profession is dead.-Lon-

SAW HIS DUTY POINTED OUT
Advertisement Of John Ware Gave
Valuable Idea to the Travelling
Salesman.

while working through Pennsyi-
vania recently saw an advertisement
that ought TO bring relief TO few dis
tressed souls" said the travelling
salesman. III headed the personal col
umn and said:
BE II hereby known to all my cor
respondents that have this day de-
stroyed all letters they would wish to
be destroyed. JOHN WARE
That notice was-so extraordinary
that stopped over for late train and
called on John Ware. He was a genial
old man and willing to talk. He said
he was a person to whom people vol
UNFAIRLY confided secrets: that many
persons in bursts Of confidence had
written letters to him which they no
doubt afterward regretted having
written.
Sometimes they said, Destroy
this sometimes they didn't. Anyhow,
John Ware had kept most of those IN
eliminating letters. But now that he
was getting Old he had seen what
harm might result from those letters
falling into strange and unscrupulous
hands. and he had burned them and
bed taken that novel way of notifying
his correspondents that they were
safe.
THAT talk with John Ware set me
thinking. The first thing did when I
got back to New York was to burn

SPIRIT THAT COUNTS
YOUNG GIRL LEARNED LESSON
As TO TRUE HOSPITALITY.
eparslty Of Fare Need Never Be = De-
terrent to Cordial Invitation
to SIT at Table With
the Family.

II was Monday noon. Old Martha,
grumbling, was hanging the last OF the
wash on the line. She really enjoyed
washing, and would have been insulted
had her mistress suggested sending IL
out; but being OF a pessimistic tenn
permanent she grumbled upon princi-
pie.
In the house, Miss Elizabeth and her
niece Muriel, who was visiting her,
were setting the luncheon on the ta-
BILE. 1t was pickup" luncheon Mon
days, Miss Elizabeth explained, as she
set two pieces of custard pie and a
saucer OF snow pudding OF the side
board. Muriel nodded. The family to
which she belonged knew all about
pickup" meals. But suddenly look
of CONSERVATION swept across her
face.
Aunt Elizabeth" she cried. IF
here isn't visitor-getting out OF 8
carriage!"
Miss Elizabeth looked over Muriels
shoulder. IT'S Mrs. Stacey Reed"
she declared. Put the tea on the Ia
BILE. child. I'll bring her right out"
Bring her out?" Muriel repeated;
but her aunt was already opening the
door, and Muriel. In an agony OF en-
barrassment, knew that she had not
even taken. on her green-checked
apron. She gave hasty glance over
the table. A little warmed-over fricas-
seed chicken, left from Sundays din
ner, and some ounce preserve from
supper, bread and butter and dried
beef, radishes and tea-and the two
pieces OF custard pie and one portion
of snow pudding! 1t could not be that
Aunt Elizabeth would bring a visitor
out! But she was interrupted by
Aunt Elizabeth's voice. cordial and full
OF pleasure:
Come right out, Mrs. Reed. We
were just sitting down to luncheon.
This is my niece, Muriel Hastings.
Muriel will you get Mrs. Reed q
platter
Muriel set a plate for Mrs. Reed.
She could not talk, It all seemed so
embarrassing. At home they would
have put off luncheon forever rather
than ask anyoAe out-so She waited
In torture of anxiety for her aunt's
excuses. Then slowly she began to
realize not only that there were no ex-
cuses, but that both ladies' seemed to
be enjoying themselves. Aunt Eliza
beth only laughed when she offered
the guest her choice of custard pie or
snow pudding. \
That evening Muriel suddenly said:
"Aunt Elizabeth, never knew one
could have company like that We
never do at home"
Miss Elizabeth's eyes dwelt kindly
upon the young face. which already
had its tired lines of worry. DO YOU
like to put folks out Muriel?"
Why, no. of course not" the young
girl answered.
