SUPERSTITIOUS? NOT MUCH.
But Mrs. Whitney Carried Rabbit's
Foot When Near Stepladders.
Mrs. Carrie Westlake Whitney, librarian of the public library, is the possessor of a rabbit's foot these days. About twenty five painters have been at work on the library building for the past six weeks, painting the interior, and there are so many step-ladders around that Mrs. Whitney always pauses before entering the building to see if she has her rabbit's foot with her.
"I wouldn't dare go under one of those ladders without my rabbit's foot," she said yesterday. "My charm is the left hind foot of a rabbit that was killed in a graveyard by a red-headed negro at midnight."
Miss Bishop, assistant librarian, has no rabbit's foot, because she is not superstitious, she says.
