This sum- mer they are almost a. necessity be- cause of the general sleeveleesness of sweaters. The woman who plays tennis or golf buys a. sleeveless sweater or jacket. and having ac- customed herself to playing with perfectly bare arms she dislikes go- ing back to sleeves. The French dressmakers invariably odd a wrap of “me sort to their sport frocks to be worn "in repose." And there is doubtless very good sense in this. Meanwhile. when women play tennis or golf you moy see these occessory wraps hung from low limbs of trees or thrown over the sides or backs of country club chairs_ You may buy your sleeveless sweater and cape together as a set. or you may buy a two-piece cos- tume of skirt and jumper blouso Knitted sleeveless sweater with knu- fed cape to match. and then buy a knitted cops to go with it.

Mmmrmumwdmouam.mm:m1 The Why of Superstitions By H. IRVING KING. mm'm HE superstition of the Evil Eye is not so prevalent in this country as it is in the Old World except among our for- eigh-born population from the South of Europe among whom it still nourishes to a considerable extent. Volumes have been writ- ten concerning the superstition of the Evil Eye and its origin. und much learning sad rather far- fotched speculation has been de- voted to it. It is undoubtedly one of the most ancient and most widespread of still enduring superstitions. It is, in effect, that certain persons are on- dowed with s. malignant power operating by a. glance of their eyes. The possession of the Evil Eye is a. “fatal gift" end its pos- sessor has no volition in the mat- ter—in many cases may deeply regret its possession or even not be aware of it. But wlut Demon he looks upon he blights. In spite of all the learning which has been subject the superstition of the Evil Eye would appear have bad 3 most natural 1‘ obvious origin. Not only is the human eye capable of express- ing the whole gumut of human emotions. love. hatred. cunning, etc, but some people are posauaod of peculiarly expressive eyes.

Nobody else was on the bridge ct that hour of the night—nobody but Leach and the unknown. And, after all. why should Much take it upon himself to stop the fellow? Life was miserable enough. W'by not let him seek that oblivion that be sought? It was only an undeniable-Ei- stlnct that quickened Leacb's foot- steps as the intentions of the man in front of him began to be clear beyond a. doubt. Suddenly the man throw 0! his coat and began to clamber out upon the girders. At the same moment Leach grabbed him. The man began struggling violently. Leach held on like grim death. For a minute or two the other fought with such frenzied strength that it was all Leach could do to hold him. But at last he had him subdued. He was a weakling. after all. one of those anaemic. undersize ruats that. haunt the slums o the cities. There was the stamp of the slum rat on the wizened features. "Aw. what you want with me? I ain't done nothing!" "You were Just going to Jump ofl' the bridge." "Well. supposing I was? ain’t no business of yours_ is it?" "Well. I guess it is." answered Leach. “No man has the right to make away with himself." “No right. eh?" Say, if you was up against what I am you'd feel different about it. I guess." "Tell me your troubles." “You can't. do nothing to help me.
