Th Curioua Newt oi Katie Mother
Graham's Letter Gave,
It was not until the pew car, with
Dicky driving and Heis Dean kitting
by hit tide, had disappeared down
the road, that with a little Mart 1
recollected an Important errai.d un
fulfilled. The collection of mail for
the familly was still in my hands.
Seeing my guest with mc, the
otheri nad waited my convenience
with a courtesy thtt spelled unusual
self-restraint, f hastened to the rear
of the grounds where the cahjtti were,
made my apologies, distributed the
mail and retired to my own veranda
with the epistlet for our immediate
household, Dicky's professional mail,
the letter from Alice Holcombe
which I had read at the posoffice
and the biggest and thickest of all,
the missive ironj Dicky't mother.
Mother Graham invaiiaoly writes
three lettert, one to Dicky, one to mc
and one to Junior, inclosm each in
a small envelope, suitably addressed,
adds a collection of picture postals
for Junior, then puis them e.II to
gether in a big manuscript envelope
addressed to Dicky. She has some
intricate system of reckoning by
.which khe figures that she saves
stamps by this method. I had mi
compunction in opening the big en
velope, even though addressed to
Dicky, for his letter within was
sealed. And after giving Jt'nior't
letter and the cards to him. with
Marion eager, to read them to him,
I opened my own .letter from my
mothcr-in-law, knowing that all the
household news, so important to the
chatelaine of a home, would be forth
coming. I scanned iu first pages hastily,
for my mother-in-law, like many
elderly women, never gett down to
the real meat of her letter until she
has gone through a series of prelimi
nary epistolary exercises. Thus I
read again of the wonderful time
Dicky's sister, Elizabeth, and her
children were having at the farm
thr-y fortunately were able fi keep
Mother Graham from fretting during
our absence beeus her heart did no;
permit a mountain tojourn of the
nelghborlinest of Mrs, Ticer. and the
good thowing of milk and eg. made
by the cow and heni.
A Dittant Memory.
Then after her usual invective
concerning Katie's houstkeepins
faultt, something which I never take
seriously, knowing that Mother Gra
ham only means about onc-ttntli of
what the says, I read with suddenly
acute interest and real dismay, these
sentences:
"Actually, Margaret. I t!.i..k the
girl it going out of ht r mind. For
nearly a week now she hn gone
around looking as if the just had re
ceived advance newt df the Judg
ment day, and Elizabeth and 1 have
to wash the good china ourselves, for
she breaks almost everything shs
touches. I have asked her what Is
the matter several times, but she just
throws her anron over her head,
rockt to and fro and moans a little,
then gives a sullen 'Votings and
goes on about her work."
Like a lightning flash my memory
went back to a time long distant
when Katie had acted in much the
same manner as Mother Graham had
described. Put that cnV. in her life
had proved to have no reality save
in her own fears. There was no pos
sibility of any breath from that far
distant experience blowing adversely
upon Jicr now. With an involuntary,
puzzled shake of my head I went
back to my mother-in-law's letter.
"But that isn't the worst of it." her
screed ran on. "You know she al
ways was a snooper; why you haven't
! cured her of it in all these years U
j a mystery to me! But now the'i

Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
B H. L KINO.
Cats' Eyes and tbt Tidt.
A common superstition along; the
sea-coast it that when the pupils of a
cat's tytt are nearly closed it ihow t
that it it low tide, while their widely
opened condition tignifiet that it it
high water. The journal of the
American Folk-lore Society in men
tioning thit superstition tayt: "In a
case in which the pupilt of a cat in
a Boston barber shop were nearly
dosed at high water the barber, who
owned the cat, explained the discrep
ancy by taying 'Oh, well, he't only
c kitten, anyhow and couldn't be ex
pected to know the tide like an old
cat.' "
The connection between the moon
goddess, Isis, and the cat has been
explained before in the course of thit
series and the connection between
Isis and the sea has also been re
ferred to. t Thit inter-relationship
easily explaint why the waxing and
waning of th pupilt of a cat't eyes
typifies the rising and the falling of
the tides.
The connection of Isis with the tea
and her special protection ot ma
riners it not a little curious at the
Egyptians were not a seafaring peo
ple. It may be, however, that the
solution is to be found in the fact
that the moon was considered as
the source of moisture, the celestial
fountain-head of alt earthly water.
And the greatest of t' waters wk,
of course, the sea. Now the fact
that the moon-goddess, Lis, pif tided
over the tea, and that the waning
and waning of the pupilt of the
moon-godde,' sacred cat follow
the ruing and falling of the tides
suggests a question. Was a knowl
edge ff the influence of tho moon
upon the tidet a part of the esoteric
knowledge which the Egyptian
priettt possetted and gave to the
feoplc only in a mythological form?
t hat long been suspected, by tome
strenuously argued, that the Egypt
ian myths veiled real jcientific
knowledge.
