CHARMS THAT BRING LUCK.
Superstitions at Bridge-Houses and

a symbol of Egyptian origin composed of a
headless cross attached to a stirrup cir

Gambling has always gone hand in hand

they elect to sit against the hinges OF the
table because that is the lucky sde

to bring luck their name is legion; the
most favored are little dwarfs lucky six

II must not be supposed that these su-
perstftions are confined to the ladies' Two
welI-known car players at Whites are ex-
tremely proud of possessing some pieces
of hangman's rope, and from the pos
session of these trophies they dase their

is lucky for one player may be unlucky
