which has a cape-like aspect, the Won
net model with the low-cut armhole,
and the sleeve with tight-f1tting up
per whose fullness is attached at the
elbow, often slashed so as to reveal
the forearm. Indeed, the subject of

the bewildering array which distin-

Materials have as much to do with

Sometimes the fabric is the same as

CHE WHY of
SUGGESTIONS
THIMBLE AT THE TABLE
B, H. IRVING KING

IF AN unmarried woman places her
i thimble on the table when she sits
down to eat it is sign that she will
be a widow if she marries. Some
have it "she will be an old maid"
The thimble was anciently worn on
the thumb and from the thumb it
takes its name. Also the mystic quail
tiles attached to it are due to its con-
nection with the thumb in former
times. And the mystic qualities Of
the thumb belong to the ancient
science" of chiromancy-palmistry
is the common name for it-as prac-
ticed by the Chaldeans, the Egyptians,
in fact all the early races of civiliza-
ton as we'll as by the Romans. The
idea Of life and death also appears
to have attached to the thumb for the
Zine Of life" has its origin in the
mount Of Venus" at the base of the
thumb. Also there was the we'll
known signal of the Roman ampi-
theater; thumbs up for life and
thumbs down for death, in the case of
the vanquished gladiator. From the
dedication Of the thumb to Venus we
get the idea Of love as connected with
the thimble of the unmarried woman
and the idea that If she brings her
thimble to the table she will be a
widow, has evidently to do with the
thumbs connection with human life.
Bringing the thimble to the table Is
evidently thumbs down" signal for
the future husband. Just why is not
so evident unless we may suppose
that removing the thimble and placing
1t on the table is symbolic of separa-
tion or sacrifice; or, perhaps, part
of some forgotten ritual having to do
with the thumb. The old maid super
stitiOn with regard to the thimble has
a like origin with the widow super
stition Of which 1t Is merely variant

How 1t Started
SOFTLY NOW THE LIGHT OF DAY.
By JEAN NEWTON

THIS hymn, which for over three
l. quarters of century has been
sung all over the English-speaking
world and is known affectionately as
the "Even-Song," may be said to be
product of contrasts.
The author, George Washington
Deane, said of his ancestors that "My
forbears were men Of war from their
youth up and 1 am strictly in line with
them" Being a bishop, however, his
fighting was along theological lines.
Being also a high churchman during
was always plenty Of fighting at hand
1t was during the height of battle
royal with the broader faction of the
church that the bishop returned late
one day to his study. Opening the
Bible, as he later told Of 1t, in the
light of the setting sun, his eyes
CHANGED upon the words: LET my
prayer be set before thee as incense
and the lifting up of my hands as the
evening sacrifice"
The contrast between the erstwhile
conflict and the peaceful evening hour,
between the calm words in the good
book and the turmoil in his own mind
impressed him so deeply that he was
inspired at that moment to the writ
ing Of the immortal hymn:
Softly now the light Of day
Fades upon my sight away"
Before long these words were known
wherever English is spoken. And
though it was in the SOS that Bishop
Doane passed to his rest, they are
still sung every Wednesday evening
during chapel services at st. Mary's
Hall, the well-known school for girls
which was founded by their author.

lemon juice, combined with lithia, and

should take now and then to help keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
