Strange Superstitions, Coming
From Trenches, Take Firm
Root in England.
IS SURE OMEN OF DEATH
Lighting of Three Cigarettes From One
Match Means Death to One or
More Of the Smokers-Origin
of the Superstition.

London.-With every month Of the
great war new superstitiOns are con-
tinually finding origin among the rank
and file of the British sOldiery. These
superstitions are speedily introduced
into civil life and London is rapidly
becoming one of the most superstitlOus
cities in the world. It would seem, al
most, that every man home on leave
has a new parcel of things that must
he done or must not be done to avoid
trouble.
Probably the most generally accept
ed superstition is that of using one
match to light three cigarettes. 1t SIM
n1v must not be done. The noncOm-
hatants are every whit as superstl-
lions in this respect as the soldlery. Ii
is crime almost for anyone to light
the cigarettes of two companions with
the match he has just used to hght
his own. Try it in London or any
Mace where Englishmen or soldiers are
found and the offending match Will be

The skirt is an excellent pattern for

overlaps the full side pieces that are

PAINTS ALFONSO BY PROXY
Spanish Artist Uses Wax Figure for
Portrait of the King of
Spain.

Madrid.-King Alfonso, absorbed by
his occupation, has been unable to
give the necessary number of sittings
to Carlo vasquez, who is engaged in
painting the monarch's portrait. Senior
Vasquez, however, has solved the diff
fculty. No matter at what time one
xisits his studio the king can be seen
there sitting in a familiar pose in the
uniform of a colonel of infantry.
If one examines the sovereign at
tentively it can be seen that he retains
his immovability-it is a wax figure
which represents him. The figure end
attitude of Alfonso have been exactly
conied and he will have to nose nnlv
for the face and hands.

Among the wonderfully vari ed show
ings of pretty frocks for afternoon
wear, there Is to be discovered this
spring, line of plain SIX dresses Of
very simple design. They are of taf-
feta or satin or crepe, as unpretentious
as to trimming as a cotton house dress.
Mostly neat effects appear in such
adOrnment as is allowed them, as
tucks or folds in the goods and plain,
hemstitched collars of organdie or

blues and in crossbars and inconspicu-
Gus checks and stripes.
These dresses are just the sort that
the everyday average woman likes to
own, to slip on for dinner at home and
to wear for all sorts of informal dress.
A very quiet model is SHOWN in the
picture Of gray taffeta, with sleeves of
georgette crepe and hemstitched col
lar of white georgette. The sleeves
have deep cuffs of the taffeta and
when satin or the softer silks are used,
the entire sleeve is made of the same
material as the dress. The bodice is

half cupful of citron, finely shredded,
and half pound of raisins, dredging
the fruit with part of the flour. Sift
a half pound of flour with a fourth of
a teaspoonful of soda; the yolks of
five eggs are added to the sugar and
butter, the whites beaten stiff and
added alternately with the flour. Add
a half cupful of nut meats and bake
in tube pan an hour and half in
moderate oven.
Orange Sauce to Serve With Roast
Lamb.-Use a half cupful of gravy
from the roast; make brown sauce,
using three fOurths of a cupful of wa
ter, adding the gravy two tablespoon
fuls of flour, the juice of two oranges
and the finely shredded peeling of an
orange which has been boiled in hot
water five minutes then drained; sea-
son with salt, cayenne and the juice of
? lemon.
Apple Fritters.-Make a batter Of
one and a third cupfuls of flour, two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a
fourth of a teaspoonful of salt, sifted
together, and mixed with two-t1irds
of a cup of milk and an egg. Cut two
sour apples into bits and stir into this
batter. Drop by spoonfuls into hot
fat anC brown. Roll in powdered
sugar and serve with roast pork or
chops.
Caramel Sponge.-Soften a fourth of
a package of gelatin in fourth of a
cupful of water. Brown half cupful
of sugar, then add a cupful Of boiling
water; stir until dissolved; add the
gelatin and stir over ice water until
the mixture thickens. Have ready
two egg whites, beaten stiff add them
to the gelatin mixture, continue beat
ing until it will hold it's shape when
turned into mold. Serve with a cup
full and a half of rich milk. Flavor
with vanilla if desired.
Apricots and prunes stewed togeth-
er make very nice combination; use
a little more sugar than with prunes
alone, having equal amounts of prunes
and apricots. By adding spices a nice
conserve to serve with meats may be
made.

captain Triton got into trouble with
the authorities. A pilot came on board
and insisted that the Florence make
fast to buoy. Then came port au-
thorit1es, who asked all sorts of ques-
lions. Two civilians followed, and
were told to sheer off. Half an hour
later two armed guards we're sent on
board, and when Captain Triton went
ashore to the Office of the collector of
the port he found that the collector
was one of the civilians he had or
dered off. The collector asserted that
the Florence had come in under false
pretences and told him that he would
have to pay a large bill of port charges.

arrived, and finding that the yacht, al

Origin Of Superstition.
There are many explanations for
this superstition, but probably the
most plausible is that of it's being
symbolic of the three candles placed
at the coffin of the dead. 1t has been
the custom to place two at the head
Of the coffin and one at the foot. SO
for generations in England and Ire
land it has been considered a bad
omen to have three burning lights
in a room. Whenever it is found
that three candles are burning in
a death is soon to occur.
But whatever the origin of the match
superstition, it is a firmly fixed one,
and thrice brave is the man who
dares to hold it In contempt.

one on board who could speak French,
was sure that the Florence was a Prus-
sian raider
Luckily for Captain Triton, he found
on shore Captain Smith of the United
States Marine corps, he said, and he
told him his troubles. The American
officer soon Strengthened out matters
and when the yacht commander paid a
second call to the collectors Office he
found that he had no charges to pay.
The guards were taken off and the
aboard fresh water.
From Puerto Plata the Florence ran
for San Juan, p. r., where she found
that the news of q Prussian sea raider
in the West Indies had been circulated.
AS soon as he went ashore and saw
the French consul he was asked if he
had seen any signs of the raider.
Il am the raider" Captain Triton
told the consul, and after he had ex-
planned the French official insisted on
taking the officers of, the vessel on
shore and treating them to dinner.
Two More Vessels Routed.
Going out of San Juan after night
fall, the Florence picked up two mer-
chantmen, running with their lights
burning. AS soon as the yacht doomed
up both vessels doused their lights and
took to their heels.

notify those on shore that he was COM

He brought up close to two vessels,
which at once turned searchlights on
him. He turned his own searchfight
on one of them and found that she was
a French cruiser. The cruisers guns
swung over until they were trained on
him and a few moments later boats
crew of French bluejackets, armed to
the teeth, came tumbling over his side.
The cruiser was the Jeanne dare and
the officer in command of the small
boat was bitterly disappointed when
he found that he was not capturing a
Prussian raider.
Taken as Transport.
When dawn came the Florence found
that she was anchored between the
Jeanne dare and the Magdalena of the
Royal Mail Steam Packet line. in serv-
ice as a transport. The Magdalena was
taking no chances, and her stern gun
was aimed at the yacht. It was sew
eral hours before Captain Triton was
able to assure the port authorities that
his vessel was really the Florence,
which they were expecting. They ex-
planned to him that they had never
believed that he would attempt to
make port at night and that he had
narrowly escaped being fired upon by
the shore batteries at Negro Point.
He received severe reprimand, he
said, and was then told to take his YES
sci into the inner basin, where she
was formally turned over to the agents
of the French owners.
