NOW OUT OF FASHION
Women No Longer SILVER When Il
Mirror Is Broken; Evil spell Ban
iShed from the Opal.

1t is no longer fashionable to be
superstitious. One may have a pre-
monition, a presentment or even just
a plain, ordinary "hunch," II feel
quite up to date. Blu never must
one appear so old-faShioned as to
have faith in the m~oss-coNered
omens of i'll and good fortune.
Women cease to shiver when they
break a mirror. At onetime a crack
ed beveled plate would cause a fit of
Mysteries. That was before the time
of the vanity box, with its nose pow
der puff and tiny pocket mirror. Few
fragile mirrors "a long stand the
strain OF directing the powdering and
Touging OF the feminine face sixty
times a day without going to pieces.
The hobhle skirt, seconded by the
shath gown. early did away with
women STOPPING to pick up stray
Pins and hairpins for luck. From sad
experience it was found to result in
immediate bad luck to the stopper
who was trying to wear a perfect
measure skirt on n forty-four frame.
The opal, too. owing to its beauty.
has banished the evil spell given +.
through the centuries. 1t seems that
its wonderful play of colors made the
ancients believe hat it reflected the
eternal fires of Hades. Fashions in
troduced by jewelers. in recent years
have greatly assisted the superstitious
tothrow off the weird ideas.
Perhaps the latest taboo that has
fallen beneath the eXecutioner's
knife of popular fancy is that of the
peacock feathers. How long a time
these beautiful toned feathers have
been considered ill-luck cannot be
accurately known, but probably since
the fowls whose tails form
the most perfect Fans nature has even
produced were tanned in the barn
yards.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required 1t makes an abund-
ancc Of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy,
wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it
loosens and takes out every particle
Of dust, dirt and dandruff.-Adv.

His Motive.

Fresh from his vacation, the minis
ter faced large congregation, who
were very kind in their praise Of his
sermon. The next Sunday larger
congregation came and listened with
growing concern to the same address
as before. The next Sunday he
preached the sermon again. The
officers of the church, after much con-
sulting together, asked him why. The
minister replied, 'Why, yes, 1t was
the same sermon. The first Sunday
you told me how fine 1t was, and how
it was just what you needed. watched
you all week, and you lived just as be-
fore, so L preached it again. All the
following week l watched, and you
lived just the same; so, remembering
that you all had said it was just what
YOU needed, l preached it once more.
Unless tnere is some sign of improve
ment, don't you think I'd better plan

AS TO DIGNITY OF HISTORY
Times Have Changed Since maeauiay
Criticized Phrase Which Was
Then Much In Vogue.

Macaulay wrote: '"There is a vile
phrase of which bad historians are ex-
ceedingly fond, the dignity of his
tory; and he proceeded, with his
usual point and force, to show that,
though historians should not record
trifles, 1t is not always easy to dlstin-
guish trifles from events of great i'm
portance.
There are trifies which are by no
means trlfling.
Macaulay was comparing Sir w.
Temples dispatches with the love let
ters which, during seven-years'
courtship, passed between him and
the lady who became his wife, and
he was pleading on their behalf for
attention and respect.
They were, it is true, love letters.
and not state papers; but love letters
which betrayed the social feeling of
period.
There is no need for any such plea
today.
The tendency now is to overlook
