Common Sense in Superstitions
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

good luck Pins do not belong on the
floor. It is much better that they be
picked UP. Therefore, some one
thought to make UP a saying that
would rid the floor Of pins. True.

harm to some one stepping on It, or
child creeping--and 70 prevent such
n1ishap is at least 10 assist in avoid

cident is surely acting on the side OF

Sense 10 the Fore.
There are many people who have an
aversion to walking under ladder

superstition. The same people could
refrain from passing beneath cell.
ing that was being painted without
being thought Superstitious
The reason for their hesitation in
doing both may be grounded in the
same fact. II is natural to wish to
avoid the possible path Of falling ob-
tects or particles that might injure
clothing. Men on the ladder are
likely to be painting, using a hammer
things which involve articles that
might fall To keep out Of the way
Of their descent. If dropped. is to do
not only yourself a service but the
man higher up as well
Wise Prevention
Precaution against r.isfortunes also
would seem 70 underly the supersti.
ton in regard TO opening an umbrella
IN the house. Unless YOU measure
YOUR distances carefully. you are apt,
in so doing, to hit some one, or some
thing. The person who first caused
the idea Of bad luck TO be connected
with it realized that an ounce of pre-.
vention was worth a. pound Of cure.
1t is better to make a. point Of avoid.
ing breakage Of household china,
lamps, etc, than to be careless in such
respects.
Good Auspices.
Perhaps you know people who be-
lieve that if they transact business
on a certain day Of the week it is in.
cltned TO result in their favor. Such
a superstition proceeds from the fact
that at some earlier time they did
have a fortunate venture connected
with that day Of the week. TO set
the mind towards success is essuredly
to assist in attaining it. and if it is
with a mind more open in that direc.
ton that they approach an enterprise
on a particular day Of the week. 10
that extent is their superstition bene-
fetal.
