HIS LUCKY SEVEN

■ ■ - FAITH PINNED TO A NUMBER Luck is sought and wooed studiously to an extent rarely encountered by Mr Stanley George Whipman, whose duties as a commercial traveller take him almost all over Europe and North America, , , He must be the only man who received the i i Snowden ’’ income tax assessment, sent on to him at Southport, where he concluded a short holiday, with a whoop of joy. He found that the first instalment duo to be paid in January came to £77. “My lucky number is seven, he explained to me when I asked why he out Qf several who were gloomily cussing their new assessments had no complaints.” . , “ I’m going to have a good trip when I go to France next week._ Whenever seven turns up I know things will be all “ r O g nce when I didn’t pull anything off worth while in the States I couldn t get cabin No. 7 in the Mauretania. It had been booked beforehand. It was a rough trip, too. . “ I like the seventh compartment from the rear end of a train, and I like to see seven in the number of a ticket. It brings good business I reckon. “ I’m setting off to-day—-the ith of November —and will cross the Channel to-morrow, the seventh day of the week. Although the Chancellor wants £77 from mo next January, I think .the sevens show the tide has turned. “ And I’d nearly forgotten, it’s my thirty-seventh birthday next week. I m sure iu my seventh heaven.”-
