Tho Lily 8 Lucky Locket.

New York World: It is said that Mrs.
Langtry has 4 locket which was given
her by the Prince of Wales and which
she looks upon as sort Of talisman,
believing that it brings her good luck.
She will never go without it for an in
slant, and wears it on a thin gold chain
about her throat night and day. When
she wears a handsome necklace the.
chain is removed and the locket fast
ened to the strings Of pearls or dia-.
monds which surround the stately
white neck. Sometimes, however, the:
actress wears a costume Or a necklace,
with which the locket does not har-.
monte, and then she takesit from about
her throat and conceals it in her corsage.
She is very particular to wear this:
princely gift when she appears for the:
first tine in a new play, believing she;
would not be successful were she minus.

Potter has heard this story, VIII CHI may

try the same tactics in her own case,

Avenue stage as Mrs. Langtry's sue.

country men and women she wore the
Prince of Wales crest of three feathers

by all those who buy their gowns at

ticular crest, three feathers, crest
which the Black Prince assumed from
the arms of the blind old King of b.

When Mrs. Potter went to London for
the first time and was such a great
social success she, on one occasion,
gave a recitation before the Prince and
Princess of Wales. and the heir
apparent, in token of his pleasure in
the performance, sent her little pen
dant, which was a copy of his crest in
diamonds. This Mrs Potter wore
quite frequently after her return, and

representation of .'Faustine de Bres-
sier,'' under the title of civil War;"
but it is said that she happened to clasp
it on her necklace when she first played
'Loyal Love- which was more success
full than any Of her previous attempts.
Superstition is very common on the
stage. Nearly every actor and actress
has some fetch which brings him or
her luck, and Mrs. Potter found that
hers was the Princes gift. On the oc-
casion Of her triumphant debu. here
she was careful rot to omit the three
feathers. Being dressed as All ingenue,
Of course diamonds were not permissi-

where it looked like a diamond clasp,
but could be easily discerned by those
nearest the stage as the famous crest of
