nine gods, nine muses, nine worthics,
nine crosses. nine points of the law,

nine plates and nine linings." When
the angels wore cast out of heaven,
f‘nine days they fell."
, It takes “nine tailors to make a
man." A cat has nine lives. There
on nine crowns in heraldry. Pos-
leqnon is nine points of the law. The
whip for punishing evildoers had
nine tails, the supcnstition being that
afi’o'gging by a trinity of trinities
would be sacred and more efficacious.
in'order to see the fairies, mortals
are directed to put nine grains of
wheat on a four leaf clover. The
hydra had nine heads. Leases were
:formerly granted for 999 years; even
:now they run for 99 years, the dual
of a. trinity of tn’nitics. To see nine
magpies is most unlucky, as the old
Scotch rhyme goes:
One’s‘a sorrow, two‘s mirth,
Three’s a wedding, four's a birth.
Five‘s u christening, six u. dearth.
Sevcn's heaven, eight is hell,
Ami niue's the devil his one sci“.
If a servant finds nine green was

firstman that enters is to be her cava—
lier. When the loving cup goes: round,
it is the custom to drink a three
times three toast to the one most
' highlyhonored or tenderlyloved. As
thewuird sisters in “lldacheth” danced
round rthe caldron they sang, “Thrice
Utothineand thrice to mine, and thrice
again to make up nine." and then dc-
clared “the charm would up." The
nine of: diamonds was considered the

ll.’ you are an elderly ludy and expect to
pass the summer or. u lushionuble resort,
you are untumlly looking forward too. pe-
riod of extreme boredom. ‘
By it little care on your part this unpleas-
antness may be cast] y obviated.
It will only be necessary lot you to move
among the young people and take part in
their amusements. This may require a
great deal of tact and some nerve on your
part, and the young people may be inclined
to resent your presence among them. but
the end will justify the means.
It is a good plan to become nu couraut of
Ill the flirtatious in the hotel in the early
part of the season. '
This may be done by keeping a sharp eye
to windward. Walking aimlessly and noise-
Iessly into dark corners of the piazza is
usually an interesting occupation. Much
valuable information may also be picked
up by hiring a boutmnu to row you into
all the sequestered nooks on the lake. Of
course you will always take the back seat
on moonlight drives and keep your eyes and
ears open.
In addition, it is well to learn by luterro»
gating the bell boys which of the gentle
men putrouizc the bur to an undue extent,
and by the some meuns you may tmsil y as-
certain the outcome of all the poker par-
ties.
The results of these observations of hu—

topics of conversation to the little circle of
ladies of your own age who will gather on
the piazza in the mornings.
If the girls in the hotel are so improuch-
able in conduct {us to be absolutely union-r
esting, much pleusure can sometimes be
derived trom looking up their antecedents.
After you have found out where they
come from you will usually be able to
think of some friend who knows some one
in their native city who will be only too
glad to furnish you with a muss of statis-
tics in regard tothe girls' ages. their previ-
ous mmugemenm, their lack of sociul stand-
iu$ and their numerous flirtatious.
