WHERE MIRRORS ARE SHAT.
TERED TO HONOR DEAD.
By Temnle Manning.

The people Of Europe have no re-
gard for the old superstition that to
break a mirror will bring seven years
Of bad luck. When a member OF
an Egyptian household passes away.
every mirror IN the house is taken
out and smashed. together with the
choicest of chinaware to be found in
the home.
Although many Of the expensive
ancient customs have been aban-
doned by the more enlightened
people og Egypt. the morning Gus
toms seem TO have come TO stay,
and no amount OF education seems
10 change them il is always the
women who do the weeping and the
breaking OF things. while the men
sit quietly in a room on the lower
floor OF the house and smoke
Professional wailing women go 20
the home which has suffered a loss
as soon as the news reaches them.
They are not invited. but go Of their
own accord, taking with them drums
upon which they beat a loud tattoo.
When the family. the professional
mourners and the friends are ali as
sembled at the house of mourning.
the preparing Of the house in honor
South Bend news-times., 1922-08-09
Temple Manning

OF the reath begins.
All Of the pictures are turned face
20 the wall. the furniture is carried
into the yard, the mirrors are taken
out and smashed against a stone.
and the choice china suffers the
same fate. Both the church and the
government have urged that the old
custom be abandoned, but the Egypt
ians still insist that it is a sacerifce
which they must make in order to
show respect for the dead and the
depth Of their grief.
While the women wall and break
the mirrors and china they beat their
faces until they are black and blue
and tear their hair until they are
mpletely exhausted. The tattooing
on the drums Of the professional
mourners as they chant and wall is
such a gruesome sound that by the
end OF the % hours-the allotted
time for mourning-the women are
IN Mysteries and rave like persons
who are insane.
During all Of this time. while the
women have been expending so much
energy in honor OF the dead, the
men have been silent. not even she'd
ding a tear. All they are called upon
20 do is to buy new mirrors and
china In place OF those which have
been destroyed.

LONESOME BILLY
DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:

There is young man three years
my. senior who is a soldier. and
whom / like very much He writes
to me. and also 10 a girl who is a
third cousin OF mine. and as he is
not far away he comes home every
weekend and takes her 10 the NOV
les and dances and other places.
He never takes me out. This I do
not care about, because I like my
cousin better than my soldier friend.
but because he writes to me she re-
fuses 10 speak TO me. and says she
hates me. What shall I do 20 re-
gain her friendship? Or would il be
better not TO try?
do not wish TO stop writing 10
my soldier friend. because I have
nothing against him. and still I like
my cousin, and ii hurts me TO have
her mad at me. Please give me
your advice as 20 what to do.
ESTELLA
ESTEDLA; I wouldn'+ DO anything
about the matter, my dear. Keep
the young man for a friend and
continue writing him. Your cousin is
not very sensible I'd take the atti-
tude which she does. Wait for her
to make the advances, and when
she does, be as nice to her as you
ever were.

Ladies Ears Once More in Sight

NEW YORK, Aug. s.-Oh. look

exposed 20 view. From out its lair
OF ambush hair IL has emerged anew.
So long concealed when now revealed

to shrink from public gaze and from

and prophesies this fall viii be the
era of the ear with ears worn out
by all.
The National Hairdressers here
with her do not agree and Mr. Miller,
who's their head. says ears will COW
cred be. He thinks al first the ears
may peep from out their nest Of hair,
but that they'll soon shrink in again
and keep within their iair. He also
says bobbed hair is doomed while

When skirts were short and legs
were long then ears were covered

it sort of seems TO balance things and
make proportions right that ears
should be unveiled and pushed right
