-—-——-—>._. CUCKOO SUPERSTITIONS

Cuckoo superstitions are preval- ent ill many caulltrics, Tile most UIllVCfSEil, pflllélpq, is the belief that to tum over any money you may have in pocket or purse on hearing the cuckoo call for the first tune in the spring is to en-

rc "gcucil luck" for the year. It i "unlucky" to ilavu an empty poc- kct at such a time. No matter what part of Britain you may be in. you will find that many rural folk sol- erruily carry out the ritual of turn- ing their money over-some old farm labourers actually spit on a silver coin and tum it ovcr—-on hearing the first cuckoo.

In the Isle of Skye many folks look upon the cuckoo as an "un- natural" bird with. or course, un- natural traits. To hear its call in the morning before breakfast is fa- tal to good luck; therefore, they seek to counter the “spell" by ma- king sure they put not a foot out- of-doors without first eating a bit of bannock or other food. In the remote isles it used to be thought that if a maiden found a cuckocfs egg in a plplfs llcst her lot would be pitiful.

Among the Danes, we are told. there eiists a curious legend to the effect that when the familiar cuc- ko0's call is ilcnrd in ‘spring every village girl kisses her hand. at the same time asking the bird the ali- importatli questiom-"Cuckoo. cuc- koo! when shall I be married?" The bird in replying. continues to call “cuckoa" as many times as years will elapse before the object of the llllllldcifs desire comes to pass.

In olden days it was believed that if a maiden ran into the fields on hearing the cuckoo for the first time 111 spring, and took ofi her left shoe, she would ilnd therein a hair of the same colour as that of her husballd-to-bc. The 9°95 Gay. in his famous "Shepherd's Week." alludes to this quaint superstition. --A. S.

andsgtill angther reason that children in their salad days should not marry ls because, unless they have inherited money, they have nothing to marry on, nothing on which to set up a home. No boy of 19 can make enough to support a faulily, and if he rushes into marriage before he can earn enough w keep his wife and children he simply passes on his res- ponsibility to his poor old parents. They can't let their children and grandchildren starve, and so they have to deny themselves all the com- forts they are entitled to in their old age and spend their last days tolling to pay for Johnny's or Mary's premature marriage.

No more idiotic theory was ever advanced than that an early mar- riage makes fpr a better companionship, and that a boy and 8111 W110 marry early will grow up together with the same ideas and tastes. Oc- casionally, very occasionally, that may happen, but it is lust a. matter of luclk when it does and the chances against to justify even the most optimistic in taking the risk. shot that seldom wins out.

For what we develop into depends upon what qualities Nature put into us before we were born. Not upon whom we marry. The boy with brains is going to develop into an intelligent man. The girl who is a nitwit is going to be a nitwit as long as she lives. She isn't going to become a brilliant woman Just because she married a clever boy.

d it is the same way with every quality of heart and soul. The husband develops one way, the wife develops another. One has one sort of taste, the other has another. "Jack Sprat could eat not fat and his wife could eat not lean." And so we have those terrible marriages where through no fault of either one the husband and wife have nothing in common, they do not even speak the same language, and they are far- ther separated even living together than if oceans roiled between them.

Far, far better for men and women to wait until they are mature be- fore they select their mates. Then they can pick out one who yvill be s real companion because they know what they are getting,

Dear Dorothy Dix-My son is almost l2 years old. When he was 4 it was necessary for me to go to work in order-to help with the house- hold expenses and save a little money for the future. I could leave him

safely because my mother-in-law lived with us. She has just died. 1 must continue working, as my husband 10st his regular job, but between us we earn enough to pay the bills. My problem is the boy. Is it safe for him to be left alone from 3 P. M. until 6 P. M., when we get home? Can he be taught to take care of himself alone during these hours? How can I know that he is playing with the right children? A WORRIED MUITIER.

Answer:

Can you not find some nice middle-aged woman who, for the sake of a good home and whatever you can afford to pay her, would be Willing to take your mother-in-laws place and keep an eye upon your boy? There are so many women who have reared families of their own and who know how to deal with children, who are feeling the pinch of poverty now, that you should be able to find one who might be a.

It was the first time that Mrs. Larry had ever been in my home. Jonathan did not encourage my friendship with her-in fact had all but forbidden it.

“You've read it. of course?"-—she looked at me brightly.

“Certainly have!" She was radiant as she sat before me.

"And are you going to tell me. as all of the others are saying by this time. that I hadn't the decency to wait a year?" She laughed, and yet there was something ill the laugh which did not ring humorous.

"Of course not!" I said, “I think you did exactly the right thing."

In an instant Mrs. Larry was ser- 10115.

“Well — Larry and I - " She hes- itated a long time and I seemed to find nothing to say to fill in the gap, could only stare at her oddly wistful face. Finally:

“Wel1——you know," she finished.

Tursday. September 6.

In one night I have lived a thou- sand years.

Last night was a sleepless horror: And this morning before five o'clock I was in my motor moving swiftly toward Washington Square and the window with the red geranium.

There was a strange woman with Else when I opened the door and softly entered the room.

"She's sleopin‘ n bit now-you're her sister, I reckon?" The woman eyed me curiously, a bit scornfully, it seemed to me. And well she might.

"Yes." I said guiitily.

“Her man's gone for some medi- cine. Doctor's been here most of the night. If you're goin' to stay a bit. I'll go do my work up." the woman whispered again.

"I'll stay," I said.

Then I was alone in the room with

"Refuse?" He bellowed again.

I nodded slowly, dazediy.

The next instant Jonathan had the front of my gown in an iron grip and I heard the sound of tearing fabric. My pink silk vest was ex- posed at the front!

And so, like a. good wife, I chang- ed my gown and we continued on Olll‘ way.

But that was not the ilardest.

late that night, after we had re- turned home I was alone in my room, the stillness was broken by a light knock on the door.

“AGE-OLD FEAR."

I trembled in indecision.

Finally, gathering my courage, I opened the door a bit. In the crack the face of Mercer was visible.

"Madame," he whispered quickly, “a telephone message at l1 o'clock said your sister is very ill and wishes to see you.” '

With that he vanished.

Wednesday, September 5. An evil omen has followed me to- day. I knew that I should move all day under an unlucky star when I put my blouse on wrong side out! In the first place I neglected to order fish for dinner, a thing which Jonathan insists upon once a week.

But more important than all was the absence of back in the emerald green velvet gown I put on this ev- ening to accompany Jonathan to the theatre.

"You're not going in that?" he questioned when I appeared in the living room.

"Why not?" I asked.

"That's no dress! There is no back in that rag! Wear something else."

"I particularly want to wear this tonight," -- Defiantly.

"You can't go with me in that!" It was an ultimatum.

"Jonathan," my voice was like
