Fit" Again ' ' '
Lillian, Lillian, dead"
I bent above the bed where my
friend bad thrown herself for the 10
minutes' relaxation had prescribed
for her. With an aiixiety which I
dared not betray on account of Ma
riou, who also hent over her mother,
her childish face sharpened with
worry, I scanned my friend's face,
which was still flushed, and listened
to her uneven breathing.
"Yes. What is it?".
sller eyes flew wide open, but for
an instant there was no recognition
in them, only a-vague bewilderment.
She raised herself on one elbow,
looking around the room wouder
ingly until her eyes fell on Marion.
Then 1 started at the sound she
laughed lightly, sprang to her feet
and stretched her arms high above
her head.
"Those old Seven Sleepers had
nothing on me, I fancv," she said.
"How long did I sleep?"
"Only the 10 minutes I gave you,"
I returned. "I didn't dare let you
stay any longer with the image of
Mrs. Durkee in the background. But
arc you sure you're all right?"
Marion echoed my Words, her
urns clasping her mother's waist.
"You're- not sick are you,
Mumsie?"
"Sick f 'Her mother echoed the
words indignantly, "Whatever put
that in your bead, sweetheart?" She
-flashed an inquiring, almost suspi
cious glance, at me as she spoke,
aifd I had hard work to keep what
Dicky calls a "poker face." But
Marion is a loyal little soul, and
she divertl'd her mother's attention
" from" me-promptly and cleverly. 1
,"Vhy, you went out of the room
so quick, and your face was all red,
arid you went to sleep so quick and
I was afrjid we couldn't wake you,
and'I an so sorry I was naughty
about my hair, and I nevjr will be
again.",-- '
"I'm Perfectly All Right."
"Mother was naughty, tool" Lil
lian bent over her child with pas
sionate tenderness. "And don't
worry one. bit more. I'm perfectly
all right ;,.Xow I must hurry or
Auntie Durkee will be over with a
rolling-pin."
Marion laughed merrily, and I
saw Lillian's face relax with satis
faction. There is nothing which
causes her so much uneasiness as a
shadow on 'the face of her idolized
little daughter.
She looked anything but "all
right," as she had assured us, how
ever. Her face held the' deep lines
which betray excessive . worry or
fatigue, ami though the flush was
tepidly receding, it was succeeded
by a gray sort of look which I liked
.still less. , She caught me-watching
her and made a little moue at me.
"Oh, Paragon of all House
keepers 1" she, mocked. "Dp you
happen to have such a thing as a
piece of ice in this house?"
"I ordered some put in the refrig
erator this morning," I returned
ijuietly.j
"Then it's there," she returned
abilantly. "i believe if I asked you
ior wild roses in December youd
produce them. 1 know the water in
Jhc pot is almost bo;ling, and if you
i (I permit me to commit petty lar
ieny oil your ice box I'll show you
how to turn a worn-qut invalid into
a healthy-looking specimen."
The Result.
"I'll bring the ice Up to you my
self." I said, starting for the door.
"In that gown? You will not!"
jhe retorted, starting after me.
But T had reached the door and
whisked the key from the lock as she
?poke. I pulled the door shut and
locked it from the ouUide, even as
she lugged at it from within, laugh-

More Truth
By JAMES J.
In Greenwich Village
In Greenwich Village lived a lad
Whoplayed the violin;
His notes were flat, his bowing bad,
His tones were harsh and thin.
But he was -Covetous of fame
Despite these faults and so
He gave himself a Slovak name
And let his whiskers grow.
And did these attributes of art .
Iimprove his work a lot?
Although it nearly breaks our heart
We'll say. that they did not.
In Greenwich Village lived a maid,
Obscure and unrenowned,
Who long and fruitlessly essayed
To write like Ezra Pound;
And when these efforts did not get
The damsel anywhere,
She firmly sayed, "I'll do it yet!"
And so she bobbed her hair.
And did this act exalt her verse '
And make it lilt and soar?
No; strange to say the stuff got worse
Than it had been before.
In Greenwich Village lived a youth
Who'd failed, for many a day,
To grasp some great eternal truth
And put it in a play.
But with ambition still undimmed
And ardor undestroyed,
He bought a pair of cheaters, rimmed
'With mottled cellujoid.
And did he make an audience throb
And shout and hold its breath?
Alas! he had to , find a job
Or he'd have starved to death!
INTERNAL EVIDENCE '
We don't know who it was who wrote the income tax blank, but
we are certain that he stole his style either from Robert Browning or
Henry James. 1
A LABOR-OF HERCULES
Don't expect too much from Mr. Harding for a while. It will take
him at least six months to pry loose the erio that several thousand
democrats have on various federal offices. '
GUESS
If Britannia ever resumes the
knowtof one spot that she will probably brush them off first.
tcoprigm. i2iny tne
ing triumphantly ' at her, I hurried
downstairs, and so.on returned with
some pieers of ice in a dish.
"If you've hurt that dress I'll
thrash you if it's the last thing I ever,
do," she threatened, as I entered the
room again.
"I defy you to find a single spot,"
I returned.
"Lucky for you.-' she retorted
grimly. "Now forxa lightning toilet."
I had witnessed her marvellous
powers of recuperation biforc, also
her, speed in dressing, so despite my
worry I was not surprised when she
came back into my room fifteen
minutes later to see a most wonderful
transformation. I knew that five
minutes of her ime had been spent
in applying hot, wet cloths to her
face, following the treatment by
dashes of cold vater. and ; finishing
by rubbing every portion or her face
lightly with ice. .
The result was a glowing coun
tenance, which, toned down only by
a little cold cream and rice powder,
looked twenty years younger and in
finite degrees healthier than the face
which she had worn out of the room.
Her abundant silver hair, always
wavy, was knotted carelessly low on
her head, her most becoming coif
fure, and she was dressed with her
usual modish exquisiteness, except
for the last fastenings, so hard for
any woman to achieve alone.
"There, lady!" she sai d triumph
antly. "Aren't I nifty? Now, if you'll
just help me with 'these pfbguey
fastenings."
"You're the eighth wonder of the
World," I assured her as I bent teethe
troublesome snaps, but my own heart
was far from assurance. There were
limits, I told myself, even to Lillian's
wonderful constitution, and her still
more wonderful will,' which, so far,
had enabled her to triumph , over
really serious ills, both mental and
physical.-

Arranged by J. WILLSON ROY.
1. Why were St. John and his
brother, James, called Boanerges,
or sons of thunder?
2. Who was Judas Iscariot?
3. Why was Zacharias, the priest
and father of John the Baptist,
struck dumb? - '
I 4. W hy is it stated tnat tne mul
titude were praying without at tne
time-of incense?
5. Why was the angel sent to
announce the birth of John the Bap
tist? 6. Why was the son of Zacharias
to be called John? -.
Answers.
1. Because of the great zeal that
induced them to solicit permission
from Christ to call down fire from
heaven upon the heads of the Sa
maritans who rejected our Savior.
2. He was a Hebrew, a native
of Kerioth, a town in Judah. The
name Iscariot was to distinguish
him from the apostle Judo (Judas
in Syriao:Greek).
3. Because of his incredulity
3fhen it was announced to him by
an angel that he should have a son
by his wife, Elizabeth, who should
be the forerunner of the Messiah. .
4. In order to show that the angel
who appeared to Zacharias was sent
to him alone, and could not be seen
by the people.
5. Because of the-high dignity
to which, as precursor of Jesus
Christ he had - been called. y
6. No particular reason is given
in the Bible, but the meaning of the
word being "grace" or "favor" we
may infer that it was significant of
the forerunner of Him who is the
source of all grace and. blessing to
mankind.

4 Do Stars Have Five Points? . '
When we speak of an object as
"star-shaped," we immediately vis
ualize something with five rays on
arms projecting from a common cen
ter, seldom stopping to think that
this bears little apparent . resem
blence to the stars which are seen
at night, and which we know to be
immense spheres or globes of mat
ter. If we look at a bright star,
however, we will see that rive poiut
ed rays of light appear to eminate
from the center, arid it is not until
we see, a photograph of the stars in
question that we realize that these
points are merely ocular impressions
which do not register upon the plate
or negative of the camera.
If we study the arrangement of the
sensitive portion of the eye the
part of the eye which we "see with"
we will find that a sharp bright
image such as that of a sfar will fall
upon one of these sensitive points
on!', but it will be reflected to a les
ser degree upon the other points
around it. The "cones," as the sen
sitive points of the retina are called,
arc arranged in such a manner that
each of those in the center is sur
rounded by five others, and it is the
reflection upon these neighboring
cones which produces the impression
of rays of light, when, in reality, the
star sends forth anly a single direct
beam. Mankind, therefore, is ac
customed to think as being "star
shaped" having five points and it
was not until the introduction of
photographic apparatus that this
theory was definitely disproven.

No. If there is no carpet, the

.Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
By H. IRVING KING.
New Houses.
The superstition that when a fam
ily moves into a new house there
will shortly be a death in that fam
ily is, fortunately, not so prevalent
as some others or the housing prob
lem would be greater than it is. But
the superstition exists.
The writer -knew a man of mil
lions, prominent in national affairs,
who having bought an estate, hesi
tated for years to pull down the old
hohse on it and build a new one be
cause o thrS' ancient superstition.
Finally he risked it and died some
12 years later and when he was
about 76 years old.
The origin of this superstition is
plain. It is a "hangover" from the
days when it was thought necessary
in order to assure the stability and
the good fortune of a new building
to propitiate the gods by a human
sacrifice. Human beings were en
closed in the walls or buried alive
under the cornerrposts on pillars of
the new edifice. The books are full
of instances of this practice which
appears to have persisted into early
Christian times. There is a castle
in Germany where they will show
you the place where a child was
built into the walls at its erection:
and the legend is well-known of
how the evjl spirits threw down St.
Columbia's churclon Iona island as
fast as he built it until he had buried
a man alive under one of the pillars,
when all went well.
In Greece today it is said to be
the custom of builders to, surrepti
tiously measure a man's shadow and
bury the resulting figures under the
new building the best thatcan be
done in view of the popular preju
dice nowadays against human sac
rifice. And etery once, in a while
you may hear, the old saying "When
the house is finished the hearse
stands, at the door." Some profess
to see m the custom of laying corner-stones
a survival from the bloody
practice of our barbarian ancestors
in their building operations. .
