Her commercial genius is shown in the fact that she secured one good paying customer--Alexander T. Stewart. Stewart grew to believe in her as his spirit of good luck. Once when bargains had been offered at the Stewart store and the old woman was not at her place on the curb, the merchant-prince sent his carriage for her in hot haste ``lest offense be given.''

John Jacob Astor had no such belief in luck omens, portents, or mascots as had A. Stewart. With him success was a sequence--a result--it was all cause and effect.

But--confound it!--the stewardess was there on the floor, strapping up the rugs. "That's the last, Mrs. Hammond," said the stewardess, rising and pulling down her cuffs.
