Romance inOrigiin
OF Supershhons
BY II. |. KING.
Cabbages and Love.

In many parts of the country a
girl who is becoming anxious about
her prospects OF matrimony goes out
to neighbor's cabbage patch at
night, steals, a cabbage and places it
over the house door. The man up
on whom the cabbage falls when the
door is opened is the man she is des-
tinued to marry. 1t is held by most
authorities that the charm can only
be worked with success upon All
halloween and that the girl should
go through a graveyard on her way
to steal the cabbage. In some Sec
tions it is believed that something
of the physical characteristics OF the
girls future husband can be OWNED
by the shape and size OF the cabbage
stolen. In no case can she select
the cabbage but must take the first
that comes to handsome say pull
it with her eyes shut
In Scotland the same superstition
is a common Halloween custom,
handed down from time immemorial
and was glorihed in poetry by Robert
Burns. Only in Scotland they do not
put the whole cabbage but only the
stalk over the door and say that the
of earth clinging to the cab
bage root indicates the size of the
fortune the girls husband will have.
This superstition is inherited from
our barborous ancestors of northern
Europe, to whom cabbage and kale
were nearly what onions and garlic
were to the Egyptians. The Eeyp-
tians even dehed the onion and if the
Teuton and Celt did not exactly
deity the cabbage they held it iii
high respect as possessing many mys-
tic qualities and gave it place only

Why Mother Graham's Decision
Relieved Madge.

Woman-like, I mathematical my
own loquacity when Dicky made hi,
ofhand proposal to telephone the
Durkees about the plans of Jim and
Katie. If | only could have kept
my dismay over the situation to my
self, | rallied at myself bitterly, he
never would have thought of tele-
phoning.
Or-my particular little devil
seized the opportunity to whisper in
my ear-was he perhaps alert for
any excuse, any opportunity for com.
municating with the house where
Edith Fairfax lived? Subconsciously
| was aware of the absurdity of the
suggestion, knowing Dicky's tenn
perament and that if he wished to
telephone Edith Fairfax he would
make an opportunity and not wait
for one. But when is woman ever
reasonable, or indeed quite sane,
when her jealousy is aroused!
| dared make no objection to the
scheme, for fear Dicky might sus-
pect my feeling. But Mother
Graham had no such scruples.
Have you taken leave of your
senses?' she shrilled. Spending all
that money just to find out what
that ape is going to do! If she
doesn't come on one train she'll
come on another. All you've got to
do is to get ready for her, though
why you couldn't let her clean a
place out for herself after she gets

Just beginning to pamper her here,
as you always have and always will.

leaves you in the lurch some day,
just when you need her most"
Just Jest.
Wisely, I made no answer to this
TRADE, which sounded far more un-
feeling than it was. Mother Graham
would no more have allowed tired
Katie and Jim to come to the filthy
rooms at the Dacey farm without
first having them cleaned than I
would. But she had to have her
little growl first.
What do you say, Madge?" Did
I imagine it, or was there amused
comprehension of my mental state
in my husbands mind. At the
thought | turned hot and would not
have made any objection to his pro-
posal if | had known an actual
elopement with Edith Fairfax was
at the end of it.
"Why, | think it would be very
good scheme" l replied sedately,
hoping there was no suspicion of a
tremor in my voice.
My mother-in-law snorted.

the acme of disgust. Jerry Ticer,
what are you standing there for?
You know your mother wants you
in the kitchen so she can get through
her work and go over to clean those
rooms in the farmhouse"
"Yes, ma'am," Jerry grinned,
ducked his head and disappeared,
evidently as unconscious of the re-
buke as he had been of Dieky's
mockery.
Come along, Madge." Dicky rose
from the breakfast table abruptly.
You've eaten enough breakfast for
two women. You'll be getting fat
if you don't look out, and then you'll
lose your husband. I give you
solemn warning now-no jowls and

Local manufacturers have come
forth with the announcement that
the waist measurement OF the present
day woman is undergoing a change,
The small waist is no longer fash
ionable.
Formerly the 26 and 2S-inch waist
was the usual one, but since athletic
sports have become so popular so
and 32-inch has become the rule
rather than the exception. And this
statement does not go for the fat
lady, but for the normal up-to-date
young woman of today.
