Chicken-Feather Fans Revived

what was It? That was the question We
asked each other at the theater 1t
swung from a chain about her neck
and had a long toitoise-shell handle.
We watched. Finally she opened it,
turned the two sticks around a circle,
clamped them together at one end. and
began to fan herself. So that was It.
A tiny folding fan taken from the pages
Of Godey's Magazine.
The feathers were speckled like a
guinea hen. and they really came
from that expensive fowl. There
were four bursts of them. thick
clusters that Tapped each other SO
they could fold the more easily.
One of the women grew reminis-
cent when she saw the fan. 1t re-
minded her of old days when women
did not scorn to use turkey tail

the southern states.
There was once a gallant of South
Carolina, she said. who presented the
Winning VI tiiC oSoSoAs
with such an ornament, and con-
tinued the custom over so many
years that each girl looked upon 1t
as a coveted ribbon, an order Of
success.
1t will be amusing to see these
chicken fans come back into fash
ion. They are such contrast to
the eoregeousness of what we have
waved in the air. And as oul
shrewd American buyers have their
eyes upon them, the thing is possible.
The owner of the guinea-hen fan
wore q necklace and earrings that
excited our interest also. They were
made up of pale amethysts, like
mauve crystals. Every woman over

Hair Burning.

long life; il 1t burns quickly. a short
one" This rather common supersti-
ton has as its basis that primitive
conception OF the hair as being, like
the nails. q vital and integral. part
of the man himself conception
which Is found surviving in many
modern superstitions.
So much was the hair regarded as
the person himself that the ancients
frequently offered their hair In sac
rif,cs instsAd of immolating them
sAlves--which was just as effective
and much pleasanter. In the supersti-
tion under confederation we see a
survival Of this custom-an o6erihg
Of the hair to the gods. And as In
Ill sacrifces the devotees sought for
a sign in the condition of the victim,
which was revealed by an exarnina-
ton after sacrifice or, in the manner
In which that which was sacrificed
underwent the operation. = So we see
the idea continuing down to US of a
prognostic in the slowness or rapidity
of the burnings of the hair.

Alma High to

The Alma High School basket ball
team will play its last regular sched-
uled game this evening, meeting the
Ithaca High School five at Ithaca,
where it is expected that hard battle
will result.
The Ithaca aggregation has been
putting up a good battle during the
entire season and has won from st.
Louis, Midland, Breckenridge and a
number of other good teams in this
section Of the state. With a playing
floor that has numerous peculiarities,
Ithaca will have 4 big advantage on
the Alma team and is giving promise
Of making the locals put up one Of the
best games of the season if they are
to win and keep up the fine record of
the season.
The local team, which would have
been in poor shape for an encounter
a few days ago, because of illness to
some of the men. promises to have
the greater part of its strength for
the fray Thursday evening and is ex-
pected TO be able to put up a hard
battle for the honors of the evening.

Meet The Normal
Friday EUening

The Alma College basketball team
will meet the Mt. Pleasant Normals
Friday evening in the final basket
ball game of the year and every
effort is being made this week to
bolster the aggregation so that IL
will be in shape to give the Teachers
a real battle for the honors Of the
evening.
II is believed that the Alma Col
legians have strengthened consider
able since the first game with the
Noimais on the local floor when the
Maroon and Cream was defeated by
a small score after terrific battle
in which the greater experience of
the Normals told in the second half,
after Alma had managed to stay
ahead during the first session.
The game is certain TO be one of
the hardest fought of the entire sea-
son as Alma will not take another
defeat from the Teachers without the
hardest kind of fighting to show that
the new Maroon and Cream team is
a conner and one that will be feared
throughout the state colleges another
season. Coach Parker is reported as
being somewhat anxious about the
approaching game and is putting
his charges through the PAGES this
week in great style TO have them fit
for the struggle.
Coach Campbell will probably take
his entire squad to the Normal town
Friday evening and will make every
endeavor to bring the honors back to
Alma, although it must be admitted
that the Normals because Of their
experience and their previous vic
tory over Alma, will be the favorites.
