Overview

A satire illustrating how only too often superstition lies latent beneath the scoffing of the practical minded. Mr. West thinks the superstitions of Mrs. West are quite, quite silly, and he doesn't mind telling her so. An old peddler woman who tells fortunes reads the cards for Mrs. West, and when coincidence proves her predictions not too far from the truth, Mr. West finds himself indulging in his wife's beliefs-- not that he would ever admit it to her. Highly amusing.
