ALL HAVE FEAR
OF LADY LUCK

Pretty much everything else hav-
ing been surveyed, Doctor Mailer and
Doctor Lundeen of the institute of
school experimentation of Teachers
college have surveyed superstitions
in the United States. How many
persons they questioned doesn't ap-
pear, but they found not one guilt
less of some superstition or other.
That is comforting. Even the intel
ligentsia may be thought to leave
the atmosphere of pure intellect oc-
casionally and be human enough to
make wish when they see the new
moon over the left shoulder. Such
divergence into "wishful thinking"
may be pardoned even to the best
minds. Some part of the immemo-
rial imagination and mystical wisdom
of the race is embodied in this Aber-
CLAUDE, diluted in many or most of
us into sportive or only half-seri-
Gus ritual.

pitiation of or apology to the gods
that keep watchful eye on human
boastfulness and love to balk good
fortune. How many pundits of the
Teachers college will walk under a
ladder or sit 13 at a table? There
have been societies ostentatiously
mocking these superstitions. If their
members have not been punished,
their immunity merely illustrates
that the exception proves the rule.
Besides, in a universe from which
cause and effect seem to have been
banished, it is consoling to see their
existence assumed even in cases
where it might be hard to substan-
tiate their action. That is a pleas
ant symbolism that forbids a lover
and his lass to walk on opposite sides
of post lest they quarrel and part.
In some of the old New York the
aters the box Office would sometimes
sell two seats parted by post to

The Double Wedding Ring" shown
below is the most popular quilt
known. Its name is attributed to the
following story:
Following the Civil war quilt max
ing was very popular. Grandma had
in her collection a quilt she was saw
ing for her grandchilds wedding.

in the battle of Antietam in 1862,

Jane, I'VE will not have our wedding
rings until later" Grandma, how
ever. solved the problem. my child,
I'll furnish the rings. You shall have
my favorite quilt and we will call it
the Double Wedding Ring"
In those days making of quilts de-
pended on materials that could be
found In the home, and also the
artistic ability of the maker. Cut
ting patches accurately and drawing
neat designs for quilting were impor-
tant steps in making a good-looking
quilt. Today, with the many helps
for quilt makers, thousands of quilts
are made in much shorter time than
in Colonial days. Here are some mod
ern ways that will make work easy
