New Century Club News

The meeting of the New Cen
tury Club last Monday was pure
" literary one. A charmingly
amusing and interesting paper by
Mrs. E. w. Dawson occupied the
program for the whole afternoon.
Mrs. Dawson's paper was in ac-
cordance with the plans of the
program committee to have an
"all America" made program, and
had for it's subject "Superstitions
as they flourish in American soil"
The paper was purely original
one in that it presented only the
writer's own observations and
experiences. Mrs. Dawson did not
attempt to give a technical ac-
count of the origin and signifi-
\ canoe of American superstitions,
but took up these superstitions
such as we meet them and have to
cope with them in our everyday
life. In spite of the advance
4 ment Of science, superstitions,
q Mrs. Dawson asserted are still
n deeply rooted in human nature.
4 We may have ceased to believe in
u things which are in contradiction
! to our knowledge of the natural
B laws. but the habit of mind still
d continues. peter Pam" she said,
Y may ask, DO you believe in fair
q ieS?' and we answer, we want to
q believe it is so much easier"
There are two powers of belief
Il Mrs. Dawson stated, which con-
troll and regulate action: the in
II teIlectual belief to which reason
n gives assent, and that other which
+ is ours through heredity, envir-
onment or both but which we sell
dom analyze. It is that latter be-
lief though it cannot be formulat-
ed or tabulated which makes
everyone Of us what we are.
Mrs. Wawson considered the
subject of superstitions under the
three following headings:
/ Occurrences, lucky and un-
lucky.
, Lucky and unlucky articles.
, Spiritual phenomena.
She analyzed and widely and
humorously illustrated each one
Of these classifications.
In conclusion Mrs. Dawson as
serted that much that we may
Scorn there is a grain of super
StltiOn in most every one of us.
She asked the members present to
support her in that assertion by a
IL frank confession of their favorite
N Superstition.
~ Honor bright, sure and tight,
Really truly cut me in twoly
al Cross your heart and never tell a
" lie
Haven't you a favorite supersti-
ton?
Following the paper there was
an interesting and pleasant dis
cuSSion in which a great many OF
the ladies took part, each one re-
latlng some of her unique expert
ehceS with some one supersti-
tion.
Among all the wonderful occur
rences that were spoken of that
afternoon it happened also that
there was no demand at that meet
ing for any business discussion.

ano solo by Mrs. Bentley and
