Has No Sneeze

The Japanese have no word for
sneeze. II is natural to think that
the ancient people must have called
sneezing by some name as it is one
of the commonest physical ailments,
and furthermore the people believed
since very early days in the omen
the sneeze brought them, just as the
Greeks and Romans did. But If they
gave it a name iL the early days, it
has gone.
Because they thought that sneez-
ing was an omen, they uttered a
prayer to protect them from its
evil effects. With the wide spread
of this habit of saying prayer
whenever one sneezed, the words of
the prayer came to stand for the act.
The people now call the sneeze
kusame or HUSBAND, which is a con-
tradiction of kyusokumanmyo, for
merly uttered as a prayer after
sneezing. The prayer means for re-
pose and long life. Kusame or ku-
shami Is only a shortened prayer,
and it is not the word for sneeze.
Kyusokumanmyo may be regarded
as similar to God bless YOU, said
by some Western people when any
one sneezes. The difference is that
in Japan it was the sneezer him.
self who said it. The idea that
sneezing is an omen seems to have
existed among many peoples in the
past
In Japan the people also predict
their fortune by the number of
sneezes. When you sneeze, that
means somebody is speaking good
of you. But if you sneeze twice,
somebody is saying something
bad about you You sneeze three
times, you should feel happy be-
cause it tells some one is in love
with you. But If you sneeze four
times, you have caught a cold. Re-
member this, and see If the old ia
panese fortune telling by sneezing
comes true. There is nothing said
about sneezing in succession more
than four times but that is GER
tajnly a calamity.

might even indicate fine spirit of intellec-
tual independence unwilling to accept any,
thing on say-so. bent on seeking out truth for
itself. What if he professed for time not to
believe in God? The important thing was to
grow up to arrive at faith through under
standing and maturity. And it might happen
to Chet as it had happened to others.
Bur deep in her heart, as she glanced at
him, Eve doubted it. Chef was too firm IN
his convictions. She could see the stubborn
ness in the very set of his jaws.
She was glad, when she reached home, to
find that her father had already gone to sleep.
1t would have been an ordeal to discuss Chef
again tonight. She went quietly up to bed.
But she couldn't sleep. 1t wasn't thoughts
of Chet that kept her tossing. A strange,
sharp pain began to prod at her abdomen; the
same kind of pain she had been feeling lately
at odd moments, usually for only few min
utes at time. Now, however, it wouldn't
stop. 1t began to sting deeper and deeper,
faster and faster, with throbbing rhythm.
until it made her catch her breath. One wild
pang wrenched gasp from her and she
writhed on the bed.
Her father must have heard it. He hurried
into the room, alarmed, pulling on dressing
gown. When he switched on the light he
stared. Eve" he said. What on earth - F."
She was white. He touched her forehead, find

going to sacrifice her happiness any longer.
The nurse came in and said cheerfully,
well, they're going to let you have couple
of visitors this afternoon! Just for few min
utes, of course.
Her father came at two; and for while
he was SO moved, so happy to see the reassur-
ing smile in her eyes, that he found it hard, to
talk. He sat patting her hand, trying to con-
troll himself. After time. when she whis-
pered, "Chet?" he said. Yes. He'll be here
soon. Telephoned"
HEN he drew deep breath. He looked at
Eve with sudden intensity and, bending
toward her, spoke in low voice.
II must tell you this, dear. Chef sort

Guess he felt the way did - just couldn't
face the thought of = losing you" He hesi-
tated. Times like that, when he's desperate,

Eve widened her eyes, and she turned to
her father in astonishment. "Chet7"
Every day. just sitting there, with his
eyes closed. :. What else is there to turn to
when you're at the end Of your rope?"
Eve wanted to cry out. She even raised
her head little. But before she could speak
she saw him. Chet came into the room. pale.

She stretched her hand out toward him, and
he caught it in both of his with hold that

disheyeled and puffy-eyed. But when he
examined Eve his WEAKNESS disappeared.
'Her appendix" he said sharply to her
father. He went at once to the telephone.
Have to get her over to the hospital right
away.
A hundred times Eve had heard it said that
appendectomies were no longer the dangerous
things they had been years ago. She had
friends who had gone through the operation
with astonishing ease, showing no worse
effects after few days than if they'd had
their tonsils removed But once in long
while, here and there, you still heard of case
that developed peritonitis and carried its
victim toward death.
That was what happened to Eve.
In its worst stages she was only half
conscious, and that was fortunate. A nurse
was constantly at her bedside; DR.. Garrett
came several times day; and whitehead
internes looked in every few minutes 1t was
touch-and-go and somehow, in the depths of
her stupor, Eve was aware of it.
AFTER few days, when the worst of it was
over and she could lie quiet. without pain,
thinking clearly, she knew how close she had
been to death. It was an awesome realiza-
ton. But what shocked her was the thought
that she had almost died without achieving
any of the happiness for which she had longed.
Such self-denial seemed pointless now, and
unforgivable. Lying there, staring at the
ceiling. she came in time to an unshalable
decision: As soon as she soas veA, she vas

THRIVING home from Richmond with Chef
IL Camel, Eve was determined not to let
the old argument rise between them again.
So far the evening had been perfect, and she
didn't want it spoiled.
Just outside Harrisville Chet stopped his
car beside the lake. There was a crescent
moon, and the water was beautiful. But after
they had gazed at it a while Eve could feel
his eyes turn to her blond hair, to her face;
she could almost feel the longing in him. .
And presently, as though he could no longer
hold out, he drew her close and kissed her.
For moment her arms went around him,
tightly. She loved Chet. She loved him in
spite of his stubbornness If only nothing
else mattered, if loving him weren't all bound
up with anguish and Illustration.
But as it was when he spoke of marriage
she had to pull away from him. She shook her
head. mo. Chet," she said. 1T - wouldn't

This was why she dreaded argument with
Chet. How could he think of God as an
illnsion7 When Chet talked like that there
was no use arguing with him. ...
He was chemical engineer doing research
for the Welland plant; perhaps you had to
expect such a man to have questioning atti-
tude toward everything in life. Nevertheless
his thinking raised so vast wall between
Eve and him that she turned from it in de-
spair. Now she looked down at her hands.
She felt wretched. Though she loved Chef,
she couldn't bring him into her fathers quiet
