Are you superstitious? And have
you been taunted about it Well, if
so, don’t worry, for you have good
company.
In the spring of 1909, Admiral
Peary was the first man in history to
reach the Pole; and he did it after
23 years of heartbreak and cruel
discouragement; and on his final dash
to the Pole, he wore a good luck coin
pinned to his shirt!
Seventeen years later, Commander
Richard E. Byrd was the first man
ever to fly over the North Pole, and
as he flew over it, he had pinned to
his shirt the same good luck coin
that Peary had carried, and he ac
tually rubbed it with his fingers the
moment he flew over the Pole. That
little good luck coin is the only known
object that has ever been to the North
Pole twice.
Napoleon Bonapart conquered Eu
rope and changed the map around as
if it were a jigsaw puzzle—and yet
he was afraid of black cats.
Peter the Great was the most fam
ous and cruel Czar who ever sat on
the bloody throne of Russia. He was
so cruel that he murdered his own
son, yet he was afraid to cross a
tiny bridge unless he made a holy
sign.
Lord Nelson is tae greatest naval
hero in English history, yet he was
so superstitious that he had a horse
shoe nailed to the mast of his ship
during the famous battle of Trafal
gar.
Dr. Samuel Johnson, one of the
most brilliant intellects in all the
annals of English literature was so
superstitioua that he struck every
lamp post that he passed with his
cane.
The day after Abraham Lincoln
was elected President, he looked into
a mirror and saw his body reflected
with two faces and one of them very
pale; he feared that was a sign of
oncoming death.
George Washington had an iron
band put on his step-daughter, Patsy,
to cure her of epilepsy. Think of it.
But she finally died of epilepsy, so I
guess the iron ring was no protec
tion after all.
The director in 47 corporations
bnd the head of a hundred million
dollar investment trust, has hundreds
of ivory elephants in his home.
Years ego, when a strike was on,
and he was worried, a little girl
brought him a tiny elephant and told
him that it would bring him good
luck. A few days later the strike
was settled to his satisfaction, and
ever since then, he lias been collect
ing “good luck” elephants.
Now when he has an important de
cision to make, he always holds a
little elephant between his second
and third fingers for luck. When the
stock market is going up, he wears
a blue silk tie embroidered with a
white elephant.
So don’t allow people to make you
think yourself crazy if you are sup
erstitious. But don’t let your super
stitions drive you to silly antics, or!
get between you and your goal. If it
doesn’t do these things, then be sup
erstitious and don’t worry about it.

“Open house” during the holidays
means snacks at all hours with sand
wiches holding first place on the
list. Hearty sandwiches, party sand
wiches, open - faced ones and big
three-deckers answer the food ques
tion for innumerable occasions.
Successful party sandwiches owe
so much to their style that right here
and new I’m going to beg you to
arm yourself with a pastry tube so
that you can trim up those alluring
open-face tidbits with the latest in
swirls and stars.
Cream cheese softened with heavy
cream makes a most effective border
piped around the edge of a sand
wich. Stuffed olives, sweet pickled
cucumber rings, a bright tart jelly,
a snip of scarlet pimento, riced hard-
cooked egg yolk, a spoonful of any
well seasooned sandwich mixture, a
fine large shrimp in a circle of tiny
capers—all these and many others
can be used for the center of the
cheese border. The gleaming white
of the cheese and the colorful centers
make a festive sandwich tray.
Graham, rye, whole wheat, and
Boston brown breads can be used
for the foundation. The bread should
be sliced very thin and cut in small
shapes. Christmas stars and wreathes
and bells and tiny trees are easy to
make, and add much to the beauty
of the whole array.
Spread the shapes with well
creamed butter before decorating
them. The butter not only improves
the taste but holds the trimmings in
place. As cream is added to the
cheese, you will need to add salt in
order to keep the cheese well season- j
ed.
Ribbon sandwiches are another at-1
tractive tidbit. These are made with j
two kinds of bread cut in thick |
’’ices lengthwise of the loaf, and put
together with a smooth filling. Pile
them up in alternate layers and let
stand until ready to serve. Then cut
down through making the slices
about one-fourth inch thick.
Checkerboard sandwiches are made
with two kinds of bread, too. Cut
the bread as for ribbon sandwiches
and pile in alternating layers. Then
cut down through in thick slices
these slices up being sure that the
bread was cut to begin with. Pile
these slices up benig sire that the
light and dark breads alternate. Be
sure, too, that each slice is buttered
evenly and is cut accurately. Other
wise the slices won’t stick together
and the checkerboards won’t be true.
Wrap the loaves tightly in waxed
paper and put in a cold place for an
hour or longer. Then slice about
one-fourth inch thick and you have
your checkerboards.
