Quite adroItIy she spoke about her va rinIs pupils, mentioned NIT. Shipway and said: ITS rather odd that any me with the prospects he had should chnose Go live of here among strang2 CTS. Mrs. Lotion was interested.

Lord Northcliffe had his supersti- tions. He was inordinately afraid of the bad luck frequently associated with 13 persons at a table. At a luncheon in his home in London last summer. 18 men sat down, including some Americans. Suddenly Lord Northclfffe exclaimed, in horrified voice: "There are 13 at this table Every one get up.
