beard. Another very dangerous prAc.
ttce Is the not common one Of using
several razors for single shave. Two
razors are allowable. but to use more
than two even for moment "a said
to bring very bad luck. A barber will
sometimes try razor and il he does
not find 1t sharp enough pick up an
other and change to third In finish
Ing. It is comforting to know that
there are many more chances for re-
ceiving good luck than for bad luck,
the New York World assures us. A
person ignorant Of all these supersti-
lions has the percentage Of chance in
his favor. Very good luck is invited
by the man who has his shoes polished
at the same time he is being shaved.
1t may be due partly to this supersti-
ton that this time-saving device is be-
coming popular. It is advisable to
smoke while sitting in the barber's
chair throughout the operation. This
is said to prevent the face from smart
Ing or burning afterward, no matter
how tender the skin may be-. Still
another lucky practice is to be shaved
before breakfast. The good luck
which follows. it is said. will follow
one all day. The shaving must be
done by regular barber If one shaves
himself the charm is ineffective.-San
