Bees Held in High Esteem
by Savages and Others

In savage countries and in many
country districts of England and
the world over, the bees are held
to be members of the household.
A death in the family must always
be ''told to the Bees, otherwise
they will be offended and desert
their hives, taking away with them
the luck of the house. When a
wedding occurs the bees expect
their hives to be decorated with
white ribbon or rosetteS. When
treated with this consideration. the
bees are supposed never to sting
members of the household. Other
superstitions about bees are that
one should never shout at them,
but tell them important news in
whispers.-Tit-Bits Magazine.

FRIDAY

As I have said, the Stow mas
querade is an annual fete. The
first summer after they were mar
ried, twenty-five years ago, Peter
and Matte sent out invitations for
a masked party. 1t was so great a
success that, thereafter, they gave
one every year; ultimately it be-
came the social event of the sea-
son. This success is in part due to
the fact that Matte and Peter take
such pains to make it SO. They
leave no stone unturned to give the
affair glow, gayety, gorgeousness-
picturesque quality of every kind.
The Slows themselves always say
that the success of the party is due
to the fact that we, the invited,
take as much pains as they, the in
viters, to make it so. We are, /
am sure, as far as masquerades
are concerned, a rather special
group. We have always enjoyed
dressing up. A dinner party will,
at the request of the hostess, turn
at the last moment into a cos
tune affair. No one of us but has
in the attic a trunk crammed with
the costumes we have worn on such
occasions. At house auctions, we
bid feverishly on old clothes, hats,
boots, shawls.
1t is a point of honor to disguise
ourselves from each other as thor
oughly as possible. We keep an in
violable secrecy in regard to our
plans. On the night of the mas
querade, families separate to dress
in alien households and to arrive
at the Stow place at different
times. Husbands fool wives and
wives hoodwink husbands.

man, Al Smith? Think of him, as he
did in that Philadelphia speech of
his, urging the voters to sift the
bunk out of the campaign and study
the facts. Does he want to debate
the whole system of American poll
tics? Would you hire a cook who
squeezed all the meat out of the
sausage and fried the sausage skin
for breakfast?
Even so, maybe a little debunk-
