Ladies Who Form the Court of Queen Mary SUPERSTITIOUS CAHIIOT BE EXPUUBED

NEVER WEARY OF WELLDOING. Mark how nature never wearies Of the fabric that she weaves, How the flowers bloom each season, How the trees renew their leaves. Not a blossom, not a sunset, Not a crystal of the snow, But is fashioned Just as carefully As In ages long ago. Faithfully each task fulfilling, Earth and air and sea and sky Never weary of well-doing As the centuries go by. Tls the same through all creation; Every living thing but man Is submissive to the working Of the great "Eternal Plan." E'en the smallest little insect, With an office to perform, Is a craftsman, staunch and zealous. By a steadfast will upborne. Never weary of well-doing. Though Its days be long or brief, And Its work a tiny ant-hill, Or a wonderous coral reef. Felix Connor in Living Church.

In overy nousenoia is to do louna the person who practices these superior silences. After a heated exchange of amenities concerning many of those delightful matters that agitate every menage, when diverse opinions have been expressed for and against, when you nave, percnance, indicated no violent respect for the other fellow's attitude, and he or she In turn, has given your epigrammatic utterances scant consideration, and you have, at last, indulged in some profane comment to the effect that you have serious doubts as to his or her sanity, the superior silence comes into play. You talk on. The silence is not only oppressive but obnoxious. Still you talk. You say that they needn't think they are impressing you with their sudden lack of loquacity. That you understand perfectly that they have stopped because they are completely floored. That they never did have any case. That they needn't put on airs because you are as good as they are born, possibly of the same parents. At least the same blood runs in your veins you regret this latter circumstance. How glad you would j be to disclaim the ties of consanguin ity only you yourself could possibly know. Anyway they might as well talk because either way they ars equally ridiculous. That you do not regard yourself as infallible indeed know yourself to be a person given to gross mistakes and grave errors but that you at least have the decency to speak when you are spoken to. That if they knew how perfectly preposterous you thought them and how disgusting you knew them to be that they would you drool on and on getting madder and more insulting, your fighting blood at one hundred and fifty in the shade. Only the presence of someone in the next room stays your hand.

You can call attention to the fact, with which he arises and flings out of the room and you, feeling extremely cheap but knowing that you are entirely right hold vain-glorious sway in the apartment. Later you meet him, or her, on the stairs, and stop to say that while you know he is trying to make you feel how low and common and vulgar and indecent you are, just because you prefer to "spit it out" rather than to chew it over and harbor bitter feelings forever, when if he would only acknowledge you were right everything would calm down, you still know that you, in comparison with him, are a much more agreeable, and, indeed, virtuous person and you advise him to take a reefer or two In his lofty silence before it engulfs him. He stands and looks over your head, since you are on the step below and he cannot possibly pass you without a

To return to superstitions, however, you can no more eradicate them than you can change the color of your eyes. They are about as deeply rooted and as inexplicable.

This woman has found it to be invariably the rule that when she drops a spoon she meets with a disappointment. She swears this is j true. i You can laugh it down, sneer, deride I denounce but you can't prove that there is "nothing in it." ' Strange are the manifestations of j life. You cannot judge any person, ; any situation, any set of alleged facts, ' by a hard and fast rule. When you seek to measure everything by metes and bounds, to say that so and so la 1 true, that such and such Is false, you merely declare your own limitations. You can't draw a line and say that all one side is to be classed on the right and all on the other side classed with the left. We know absolutely nothing at all.

Can you explain why you are hungry? It's because, you say, the body cries for sustenance. But why doe It cry for sustenance and what makes it cry?
