she may be scarcely conscious of them. They don't worry her- perhaps they delight her; in any case they are part of her individual "makeup"
Below are revealed the supersti- tions of the Duchess of Kent and Miss Marie Tempest, the actress. Views of other famous Engah- women will be published in this
series.
The Duchess of Kent is a super- stitious person," said a friend who had known her over twenty years.

"I'm far too practical-minded to have any superstitions." said Misa Marie Tapest. "All that nonsense about landers, and spilling" salt— ridiculous!
"I defy all the oldest theatrical® superstitions, like saying the last line of a play at rehearsals, and whistling in my dressing-room. and nothing has happened to trach. me to mend my ways."
