There are few persons who
do not l1arbor some bugaboo,
some pet superstition in other
words, to which they cling with
unreasoning tenacity.
What one individual is super
stitious about may make an
other laugh, while the super
stitions of the second may ap-
pear equally ludicrous to the
first. In other words, where
these bugabooS are concerned
it is largely a matter of point
of view. What the other fel-
low believes in is silly. What
you adhere to yourself is quite
all right!
In the last analysis it is
hard to believe that intelligent
people in this civilized twen-
tieth century should hesitate
about walking under q ladder,
should refuse to open an um-
brella in a room, or should get
so fused up over the number
13. Yet many hotels and apart
ment and office buildings skip
the thirteenth floor! That is,
they paint it number IA, just
as if that would really. make
a difference!
It is said that hundreds of
people write each year to the
bureaus which distribute auto
mobile plates, requesting them
to be sure and not send a
license tag that will contain 13
anywhere-and some 60 so far
to to be afraid Of multiples of
13, such as 26, 80 and the like.
In extreme cases, they even
fear these numbers backwards,
such as 81 and 50.
Grow Up With Them
We accept a great many Of
our SuperStitions without in
quiring why or whence. We Just
grow up with them, and that's
about all. Mother gave voice to
them; grandfather believed in
them, and so it goes. And then
why not2" we ask ourselves.
Why break some superstitious
canon and take q chance?

Within there were Oriental

Beginners at contract may
not realize that everyone who

Of law school, leaves her posi-
tiOn as secretary to the wealthy
Mark Nesbit to marry "Kim."
CHAPTER II
He got out Of his shining
mahogany chair, crossed the
office and held the door Of it
open for her as she went out
IA thing he never had done
for her before in all the time
she had worked for him. A
thing that no employer ever
does for his secretary or for
any other person who works
for him, as Mary Faith knew
very we'll. It was as if he had
forgotten all at once that she
was his employee and was see
ing her for the first time as q
young and beautiful woman.
Her own little room opened
off his office. Her desk stood
against the wall that faced his
door. She sat down at it and
put the letters he had just
signed into their envelopes.
When she raised her head
from her work a moment later

point Of saying something else
to her; then suddenly he
changed his mind apparently,
for he shook his head and went
back into his own office. shut

He was still in it when Mary
Faith left a few minutes after
ward.
Did Odd Jobs
She knew that he would miss
her when she left NeSbit'S. For,
in addition to her regular work,
she did all sorts of little odd
jobs for him. Every year she
sent out his Christmas cards.
She picked out the presents
that he gave to his mother and
his two sisters on their birth
days.
When he was too busy to leave
the office at noon she always
sent Stanley OdeSkalki out to
buy O bottle of milk and a sand
wich for HIN.
She kept at bay all the people
he did not want to see; and by
some miracle she did it without
hurting their feelings. There
was no doubt that Mary Faith
