Declares Be the Most Sentimental and Supersttous Creature Alive-A Slave Amuets and Charms of All Kinds and Descriptions Surprised at Credulity of
 the Weaker Sex-Some Comments
By DOLLY DALBYMPLE

wonen have their lucky and their un- lucky clothes. I even heard one go so far as osay the other day that she had certain yellow frock that was invested with a maIign influence, and she meant i to sell it or give 1t away. She said every time she wore 1t she had a beastly, horrid awful time, and something always hap rened to her that was unfortunate, and she didn't mean to be depressed by any such article of clothing
 Look into some of their purses" the Bachelor of Hearts suggested, and you'll nearly always find some sort of amulet or charm hidden away. l know one wom- an who carries around with her all the time a fool dead bird that she once wore on hat She says she had 1t on when her husband proposed and she's never been without it since.p
 Perhaps you'd justify her affection for that particular thing said the Man Who Didn't Know. "by arguing that she carries the little bird for sentimental req. sons more than from superstitious ones.
 But don't you think that sentiment and superstition are largely sne and the same?'' asked the Bachelor of Hearts. T have a sister-in who has her pillow stuffed with her husbands love letters, which she sleeps on. If you happened to know my brothers phlegmatic tempera- ment, his restricted imagination, his very limited vocabulary, you'd know that his wifes head rested upon a mighty hard and unsentimental pillow. You'd be sur prised at them-that couple. They seem SO unromantic and unsentimental, yet my brothers wife tells me that it is abso- lutely impossible for her to sleep unless she's got her head on that pillow. Sort of a soporific, or hop pillow, eh?''
 You think that the ideal love letter rather inclines to keep one awake rather than soothing them to sleep?p asked the Man Who Didn't Know.
 ''I won't say that growled the Bach elor of Hearts. T merely used that incl dent to show that all women must have some sort of talisman to turn Fate's darts, as it were. Along the same line is a curious thing about a little niece of mine. found her recently worked up to fearful pitch over ChAln Letter. asked her what it was. She explained the deeply religious terms adjuring her to write the same letter nine consecutive days to as many people, and if she didn't some awful misfortune would overtake her. The child was wrought up to a fearful pitch, and she was frightened to death to break the chain. It was the su- perstition accompanying it that made her so unhappy and fearful. She was almost a nervous wreck at the end of the nine days"
 'They are the mysterious sex" said the Man Who Didn't Know, and I've always confessed that I didn't know anything about them, and I don't suppose I ever will"
 Our friend, Thomas Nelson Page, summed it all up in a nutshell" said the Bachelor of Hearts, "when he said that women were just as unreliable as the hind leg of mule and I guess he's right don't you?"

 was saying, lis very curious and inter. esting creature She hasn't advanced one foot in certain directions since Eve took her knitting and left the Garden oi Eden.
 "The Man Who Didn't Know" smoked on peacefully and in silence, which was encouragement enough for the other to
 continue.
 Occasionally you hear of a man oi
 mystery" The Bachelor of Hearts went on, but it is wholly unnecessary to label this woman or that one as woman of mystery They ALL are-the last one of
 them"
 T believe" he soliloquized, lighting a fresh cigar, that the average woman of today-and by woman I mean any petti- coated creature between Is and 70-is as
 ridden by charms and omens as ever the sex was during the Dark Ages The only difference then and now is that once she kow-towed to a gold-plated Idol,
 while now she prostrates herself before an idea or gives hostages through fear to an intangible Something-to keep it from hurting her.
 The Man Who Didn't Know" recalled an automobile accident in which he had been First Aid to the Injured

 If she had worn her jade necklace. Later or I grew to know her very well, and she
 explained to me that no bad luck or mis- fortune had ever come to her while she had on that particular necklace, but she
 had never left off wearing it without something dreadful befalling her"
 And she believed it, too" The Bache- Tor of Hearts said feelingly. "The jade necklace was only a sign, a symbol of the superstitious reverence with which a woman must invest some of her posses sions. have known certain women Co
