"Clean 'em up" Is his motto in bust

Harry has selling personality. The

Che Dhu
of
Superstitions
REVENGE ON BACKBITERs
By H. RIDING KING

IF YOU have reason to believe that
= people are slandering you bite the
corner of your apron and the back
biters will bite their tongues. This IL
for women. Another way, applicable
to both sexes, is to pinch your ear and
the person who Is talking about you"
will bite his tongue. These charms
work, of course, by sympathetic magic
Like causes like. Your apron is
substitute of the slanderous tongue of
your traducer: you bite 1t and the
slanderer, by reason Of the magic SYM
pathy set up, responds by doing actual
ly what you have done immitatively.
Pinching the ear Is good stimulation
of biting the tongue and reacts upon
the backbiter In the desired manner.
1t Is, moreover an especially appropri-
ate act of stimulation in such cases
because of the connection between
tingling ears and people talking
about you"-a superstition which has
already been dealt with In this series.
These superstitions are widespread as
are all the superstitions connected with
sympathetic magic. 1t is worthy of
note that while the doctrine of SYM
pathetic magic was one Of the
earliest results Of the efforts of prim-
tive man to establish relation be-
tween cause and effect SO a belief in
that same magic is the most universal
of superstitions today.

TALKING-ACTING

A S THE professor picked his way
down the streaming street through
the last violent torrents of the storm,
he saw Eddie Clapper's little car
standing at one almost flooded curb.
The tiny runabout was packed with
the squlrming legs and romping bodies
Of seven children; they somersaulted
over the wheel, they stood on their
heads upon the seat, they crammed
themselves into corners meant for
packages and umbrellas. Then lion
this confusion appeared Edward, snug
ly encased with a shiny rubber coat.
Standing on the sidewalk at yards
distance, Edward began to harangue
the infants:
Now you get right out of there.
Don't you know that If one of you

Here from the fruit shop where Ed
ward had been buying peaches emerged
coatless, hatless Italian. One small
boy he seized by the leg, another was
pushed through the far side Of the
car, the rest evacuated of their own
accord. and the Italian without word
went back to his shop leaving Edward
in possession. With an expression Of,
"See what fine boy am l." he got
aboard in lelsurely way and drove
off,

LUCINDA

r lucinda is a Seventeenth century
II product. 1t is the romantic YER
sion of Lucy, a name borne by many
noble ladies Of that period, when
poetry preferred to address as Luz
cinda, under the impression that the
latter was more pleasing and popular
than the simple Lucy.
Lucinda, of course, signifies light.
Her origin is with the Latin word lux,
meaning light, which gave rise to the
favorite old Roman name Lucius. one
born at daylight, or one of fair COM
plexion, as some TRANSACTIONS would
have it.
The first feminine form which paved
the way for the rise of Lucinda, was
Lucia. This name belonged to virgin
martyr of Syracuse, whose name Of
light, being indicated by early paint
ers by lamp or by an eye. led to the
legend that her beautiful eyes had
been put out. Santa Lucia was the
patroness of Neapolitan fishermen,
and her name was soon adopted by
the Normans.
The daughter of the earl of Marcia
was baptized Lucia in the time of Ed
ward the Confessor. France received
her as Lucie through the House of
Biois. One Lucie. sister of Stephen,
was among those lost in the White
ship. In England. Lucy was The ia
vorite form. until the affectafion of
the Seventeenth century produced Lu-
cinda.
