Verbena drew the folds of her blue kimono closer as she searched the depths of a frivolous work-bag for a needle and thimble. She began re storing a tiny torn place in a Valen ciennes ruffle on her petticoat. "Don't do that!" Petunia's slender white arm stayed her hand. "You mustn't sew on a garment that you are wearing without putting a match in your mouth"—handing her a match "if you do, somebody will tell a story on you." The other girl laughed and good naturedly allowed the charred match to be placed between her lips. "I never heard that," she said, embroid ering a daisy. "And that's another sign," she of the gpld embroideries remarked as the member's thread knotted "you are going to have a new sweetheart before thut skirt wears out." Verbena knife-plaited the ruffle and searched for other weak places in the filmy lace. "It's curious, isn't it," she said, "how we all cling to our childish superstitions? My old black 'mammy' In the south used to tell me that if I ever picked a thread off a man's coat it was a sure sign he'd be the man I would marry." "I know that sign is true," con fessed Petunia. "I came within an ace of pulling a white silk thread off a mnnp "I Wouldn't Put on Any Girl's Engage ment Ring." naval officer's shoulder last spring, and, my dear,"—solemnly—"I came so near marrying that man it scared me!" Verbena smoothed her peacock-blue embroidered sleeves and smiled indul gently. "I never knew a girl to meet a good-looking naval officer that she didn't marry him or 'nearly' marry him. What was this one's name? Do know him?" The other ignored her question. "Putting a hat on the bed," she di gressed, "is inviting all sorts of mis fortune." "I thought it was a parasol." "Both of them, maybe, had better be put somewhere else"—wisely—"espe cially as the bed isn't the proper place for such articles." "The same superstitions prevail all over the world," Petunia said. "Isn't Jhat curious? I got most of my 'signs'* froqi an Irish nurse-girl. She used to weep and wail if she spilled pepper, declaring some one was going to die and if it was salt she would throw it over her left shoulder and say her prayers backwards." "Spilling salt or passing it/' Verbena aaid, "is a bad sign, I've always heard. I know a girl who was coming from California last spring to visit her aunt in New York. She had postponed her wedding, just as the invitations were all ready to be mailed, to come east to get some last things for her trous seau herself. My dear"—her voice dropping to a sepulchral whisper,—"on the train she met a man, a stunningly good-looking man. It seems after they had been in the same Pullman for four days and eaten at the table opposite each other, the girl asked him to please pass her the salt. Be fore the day was. over they had dis covered they had many mutual friends and that their parents had been friends in the '49 days out west. To make a long story short, they fell in love, and the girl emted by marrying him—the maifftho passed her the salt '«f.—instead of the man she was engaged to. The family was very upset and made a terrible stir about it." "And were they happy ever after wards?" "That's the point in the story," Ver bena babbled on. "They were not. Ft has been a most unfortunate affair from the first. The girl says it is be cause of the salt—that that is where ill the bad luck began." "You said," reminded the other, "that she had postponed her wedding (n the first place. Maybe that was the cause. You know it is bad luck to postpone a wedding." "And, deep down in our hearts, and tn her' heart," Verbena nodded, "we know that it was neither of these fool signs that caused her unhappi tiess. iShe did It herself. But wedding superstitions alone Would make a good-sized volume it they were col lected. I admit I'm superstitious about one thing—I wouldn't put. on any girl's wedding or engagement ring. It's a sign you won't: get married yourself for seven years." And if a girl lets her sweetheart see her on the wedding-day before she 9 dressed In her bridal robe*Yor the +s ceremony she will have no luck at all —and If she tries on her wedding gown after it is sent home equally dreadful things will happen." "If it rains on a wedding day," the other interpolated, "the prospect for a life of misery is excellent." "No girl should wear pearls on that auspicious occasion," Verbena said. "They are for tears." Petunia shielded her face from the blaze with a fat gold cushion. "I know a girl who married and wore pearls," she said, "and the bad' luck every one predicted behind her back promptly arrived. She attributed it all to the jewels. One day when she was very much reduced she slipped the pearls to a jeweler's and tried to pawn them. He told her they were imitations, and her husband owned up that he had sold the real ones before they were married and these were only imitations of the family heir loom. So it couldn't have been the pearls that brought the unhappinesa in this particular case." »"She couldn't have expected much,' the other replied, scornfully, "with a man who could have deceived her so shamefully about such a thing." "And another girl I know attributed all her bad luck and illness to an opal ring," continued Petunia, "and she took it out one day to exchange it for something else and she found that the opal was only a cleverly cut glass setting, chemically colored. But, strange to say, for some mysteriows reason, her affairs did look up alter that." "Of course"—patronizingly—"we can think things so persistently and so delude ourselves into believing them true that the bad luck we expect natur ally happens. When that girl ceased believing the opal brought her bad luck she ceased being unlucky. We attract bad luck or good luck just as we expect it." "But tell me, do you really believe that?" "Most certainly I do. Luck or lack of it is simply our attitude towards the world just as the good people bring out the best that is in us and the bad ones always have people turn the worst side of their natures toward them," "I wonder," the other reflected aloud, "how signs and superstitions started—in the dark ages?" "it is more likely," Verbena re joined, "they started in the ancient comic papers. You know the 'chest- "And of coursp it i« !«hSng.-tf Si™Ply1J°athed.lbeCaUSe ?Very "T direction." "Nonsense," responded the other "those people simply reflected your mental attitude, my dear. You showed your upset state of mind, sending forth waves of discontent, as the theory some one has expounded re cently claims, and the people you met responded with like currents 'oi thought.", "The superstitions about the moon," Petunia said, "are as the sands on the seashore. I believe in seeing the new moon clear. It always brings me good luck." "I know a very clever woman," Verbena agreed, "who says the man in the moon is a magician. He can turn a pair of every-day mortals into cooing turtle-doves in the twinkling of an eye!' "I used to know a cynical old bache lor up in the mountains last summer," the other returned, "who went around warning every good-looking man who registered at the hotel that every moonlight-on-the-lake maiden wasn't a breakfast beauty." "There's a good sign to offset every bad one"—reflectively. "All of us couldn't be born under lucky stars, so' Destiny squared things up by let ting some of our birthdays come under sensible constellations." "And people who are having the right kind of luck, anyway"—the younger girl poked the fire—"don't believe in it." "None of us really believe in those old superstitions," the other replied. "Here you and I, for instance, sit combing our hair after dark." "What is your sign of that?" "It means 'combing sorrow to your heart,'"—Verbena smothered a yawn. "And Bridget used to tell me"—Pe tunia patted her shining braids—"that things would always go smooth and fair for every little girl who combed her hair and said a prayer every night." 4 "Didn't I tell you so?" the other demanded, sleepily. "Superstitions balance each other. What's the good of worrying about or believing in any of them?" 8lmple Rule for Good Health.
