But heaven help their husbands and children. their em— ployees or associates in business when things go wrong. Theyseem to feel that they came into the world with a. guarantee that things were always going right. and when things go wrong their feeling seems to be that Providence has broken con- tract. How do you behaVe when things go wrong? Do you look at them squarely and then use your wits to find a way to right thorn? Are you enough of a good sport to feel when things go wrong as if you had been challenged to a contest? Or do you go to pieces —euddenly relax like a spoiled child —and leave the task of setting things right again to some one else? Some people—and they are perhaps most tiresome—adopt a half-way at- titude. They do not exactly go to pieces, but they become “resigned." An English writer gives excellent advice to the woman who has found that things have gone wrong. "Don‘t 1t down with hands folded and eyes turned ceilingward," she counsels. "Yarn probably only see cobwebs. or g-gt a cdck in your neck; anyhow. you weft not any help. murmuring in a low. plaintiVe voice: 'I must not cacao-nan.

The Why of Superstitions By H. mvmo Kmo. THE LOVER'S HAIR. ancient date. which still exists in the rural districts of the United States and Canada. as well as in England and Continental Europe. When a. girl hears the first call of the robin in the spring let her take off her shoe and stocking from the left foot. and if. upon turlng.the stocking inside out, she finds a hair in the heel of it, it will be of the same wlor as the hair of her future husband. In countries where the wearing of shoes and stockings is not so common as here. the investi- gator need merely look to see if hair is clinging to her left heel. Down South they say this experiment in divination should be tried when the call of the first turtle-dove is heard, and in England it is the first cuckoo. In Westphalia, Germany, it is at the sight of the first swallow that the peasant looks to see if there is a hair under the foot. But in its es- sence the superstition is the same HERE is .1 superstition of very some persons to say that a T person is noisy is Just another way of saying that he is ill- bred. Noisiness goes hand in hand with bad breeding, and it really civilization is a degree of silence. or at least he learns to control his noisiness 'l‘ho savage. calls and halloos and shrieks to express his emotions. whereas if the civilised man uses his lungs he does so in a tivities of life he tries to go his way noiselesslr.

In the di- rection that the divination be tried when the note of the bird which is the harbinger of spring is heard we see the ides. of an appeal to Deme- ter, the goddess of vegetation—of that begetstion the "sanitation of which is Just bqtnning.

And it has already been stated how closely related. how almost identical. the ancients conceived a man and his hair to be. even when the two were severed “5—..— I'Silence That 1. _Golden noises.

It had been a long chase and a stern one. From the seaport of Massachusetts they had gone to Florida. thence to Texas. thence to California, then to Oregon then they had recrosscd the continent, and he had located them in Savannah. Lucas was fifty-five. his wife, Ade- line. was thirty. Jtn Progson. Lu- cas' farm laborer, was a. young man with a bullet head and a suggestion of under-bred and undeveloped pow- er. Just the man to attract some servant wench. but—Adeline. It was horrible. Lucas was de- scénded from the Pilgrims, he was still called "Squire" in the township. and Adeline. his second wife of two years, was a well-bred woman. Progson! If it had been a. gentle- man he would have stayed quietly at home and divorced her, but— Progsonl He was not going to touch Prog- scn. The fellow was not worthy of attention. But because of Progson he was going to kill Adeline. who had wounded him past redemption. Nevertheless, as he walked up the white. palmetto-bordered road to- ward the villa where she lived. he was aware, with his acute New Eng- land conscience, that he had not been entirely guiltless. There had been a time, after their marriage, when Adeline would put her arms about his neck and kiss him. Lu- cas had been rather too busy for kisses. Besides. restraint was in his nature, that same restraint, bred of a. mndrcd harsh forebears. which had now broken down into grim. elemental determination to avenge the slight on his honor. Adeline had been proud. but not so proud as Lucas. That ’had been the stumbling—block. that clash of wills; Adoline would not be doml‘ noted as Lucas had dominated his first wife. a timid, shrinking little thing who had been given to him in youth, and had obeyed him meekly. There had been scenes of violence. Adeline had wanted an allowance. Lucas had paid her bills and told her to ask for what she wanted. Then her uncle had left her money. and she had become independent. She had told him that she would break an; m’erweenlng pride of his. m it? No. because of it he meant to kill her. And gripping the pistol more tightly in his hand, he strode up to the villa and rapped on the door. He had often pictured that en- counter in his mind, but when he saw Adeline standing before mm. surprise changing into that cold hardness he knew so Well, he gasped involuntarily, and felt his heart be- 'gin to hammer in his breast. Adeline's eyes fell on the pistol in his hand, and a. proud smile curved her lips. "Come in, John.” she said. and led the way into the living room. It was well furnished, with Add. line's fine taste; that had been an- other bone of contention between them. he remembered. There were books and magazines strewn about everywhere. Adeline turned and faced him. ““‘elll" she asked contamptuoun ly. “You abandoned woman—" "Oh, spare me those xew England heroics." she begged him. “I am not in the mood for them. You’re come to shoot me. have you?" "Where's that—Progenn?” Adeline laughed. “Want to shoot him, too?" she asked. He felt his resolution failing him. He was aware that she was spin itually stronger than himself. and that was incredible, because he had been wronged so deeply. "Well, shoot, shooti" she ieered. standing in front of him. "You had a. long chase. didn't you. John? It was I who put you on the trail. I learned that you Were coming to look for me. “'eil. shoot if you think I'm worth it." ,He laid the pistol down upon the table. He bent his head. "I—can't," he said. "I never knew it before. but I love you, Adeline." “Shoot for your pride's sake. then." "My pride's gone. It‘s broken. I've been a fool. But—~Progson!" Her face softened. "Then I can tell you. John," she said. "There never was any Progson. Progson was going “'est, and I paid him to pretend he was going away with me. I chose him as the instrument with which to break that pride of yours which had always stood between us. between you and what had been my love for you. Now go home and— forgive me." ' "Adeline!" He took her hands in his. "You've broken me. and you've —you'vs saved my soul. I deserved it all. You've opened my eyes, but ——won't you come home, too. Ade- llue‘.‘ Just give me the chance to care for you—l don't want your love-—" "My dear. you've aurays had that. Oh, John. can you forgive as well as is possible?
