mythology it decorated the foreheads
OF Diana and OF Astarte the Syrian
Venice. In the days OF Rome's great
est glory the ladies wore II as an orna-

dation OF Constantinople (the ancient

the city, and as such adorns Its wall,
and public buildings besides being
stamped on its coins and postage.
The legend which accounts far its
universal adoption In Turkey. and Con-

Philip OF Macedon laid siege to the

night OF unusual darkness for the pro-
posed assault but wis foiled by the
moon suddenly breaking from behind

providential deliverence the crescent
