LAST NIGHTS DREAMS
WHAT THEY MEAN

such dream. As to dreaming Of saw
ing money. there are two scholastic
crtimists and the pessimists. The op-
timists declare that to dream that you
are saving up money means that you
will have comfort and plenty, while
the pessimists think It pOrtends losses.
The weight Of opinion seems to be on
the side Of the optimists. II you dream
that you are swallowing money look
out for yourself; for II you don't you
will become so penurious and money
grabbing that you will almost, II not
quite. commit fraud to get It. SO II
you get this warning loosen up the
purse-strings. II You dream Of count
Ing money you are liable to have dis
pute over bill. In effect II seems
lucky to dream nbout money, but you
are warned not to be too much Of q
millionaire In your dreams. for II you
are too dIsgracefully rich In Dream

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"MAscor."

0NE of the most general Of
" superstitions the world
over Is that a child born with
a "caul" or membrane over the
head Is not only q soothsayer
but an extremely fortunate per.
son. In Scotland, as well us In
France, the caul itself Is regard.
ed as bringing good fortune to
anyone who possesses 1t, and
high prices have been paid for
these unusual appendages.
The French word for n child
born In this manner Is
"masque," meaning masked" n
word which is analogous to
the Latin "nasca," for sorcerer
which possibly explains the
connection between the caul and
power attributed to those born
with 1t. 1t was from the French
masque, with a slight change
OF final syllable, that the Eng
lish "mascot"-meaning lucky
plece-was derived. After be-
Ing used for years by gamblers
and others of superstitious
nature, the word was finally
introduced Into literature by
Audran. In his opera ia Mas
cotte," In which the term des-
ignates the messengers Of the
power Of God, sent to counter
act the influence Of the power
OF evil.
