"Ah!" cried the countess, "a disas-
ter! Two more Of that set will now
be broken. 1t always happens So"
"Are you so superstitious," asked
the count, "as really to believe that
two more will be broken?"
II know it."
'Then let us get it off our minds"
And taking two Of the cups by the
handles he dashed them together.
The anger and dismay of the count.

not seriously believed the superstition.

Britain who is supposed to have

also have an "Old King Coul," said
to have lived in the fifth century.
Freeman and other historians say a
King Cole ruled Britain in the sixth

that the reference to the pipe indicates

after Raleigh had introduced tobacco

AGAINST WAGES FOR WIVES
Labelling It as "CommerclaIix-
ing the Home"

Wages for wives were turned down
by an audience largely of women here
the other night after q debate on
whether husbands should be required
to pay such wages. says the Philadel-
phia Evening Bulletin.
One speaker drew a dismal picture
of the future of romance with wives
working for wages.
Imagine a scene like this" he said:
Honey, do you love meY
''Of course | love you"
Then will you marry me3'
"Well. maybe. How much do you
pay?"
Suppose the wives were to Join
the soviet Of waiters-up and charge
triple wages for waiting up nights for
husbands" he said.
Imagine wife going into society
and being labeled a $15-a-week wife. A
woman can take last-year hat and
make 1t look like new. But when she
signed a contract for SIS week there
would be no hiding it from the neigh
bors"
Another speaker pleaded that "wom-
an shall not be brought down from her
pedestal as a queen and made a mere
employee Of man." In depicting the
future Of romance under the wage sys-
tem he said the marriage ceremony
would have to be revised to read:
with this ring hire thee, and win
pay thee SIS week BY the aid Of the
world. the flesh and the devil
Notices like the following he pre-
dicted would be published:
"Marr:ed-John Brown and Mary
Smith. by Rev. Russell 81. ConwelL
They will live in Logan and the wifs's
wages will be SIS q week"
Scenes like the following in court
were forecast:
Judge, he hired me for SO 4 week
and he Is now two weeks overdue In
my pay. I'm going to get . new boss"
