Probably most of us are supersti-

mothers are particularly 50 with re-
spect to their children
1t liz still considered an absolute
necessity. Ia many parts OF England,
that 4 child, when fret leaving the
mothers room, should 60 upstairs
before going down. otherwise Ii will
never rise Ia the world. OF course. It
frequently happens that the room Of
the mother is the highest In the
house. When such is the case the
difficulty Is met by the nurse setting
q chair and stepping upon that be-
fore she leaves tho room.
a similar progressive career IL
said to lie In the lap Of the future of
tho child who makes It's initial bow
to the world on Sunday no doubt
ON the principle of the better the day
the better the deed.
But there are numerous other
superstitions relating TO the first
days Of baby's life which are the
heritage Of the mother for al time.
Prosperity and long life are assured
to the baby IN whose hand silver
