The Peacock Feather Superstition.

AS to peacock feathers, Miss Daven-
port can scarcely endure to hear them
mentioned, while Mary Shaw turns
fairly i'll if she enters room where they
are displayed. This superstition, in
fact, is among the most prevalent in the
theatrical profession. At one time the
Biiou theater in New York was con-
sidered an unlucky house in which to
present a new piece, and managers
thought twice before engaging a date in
it. "What can you expect" asked a
well known actor, "when there is dado
of peacock feathers painted all around
the auditorium"
Strangely enough nobody had observed
this grave defect before, but it was
promptly remedied, for men were at
once set to work at painting out the I'M
fortunate feature of the decoration. The
fatal peacock feathers removed, tide
of good luck Immediately set in.-Chi-
cago Post.
