violin virtuosos America has produced and
also one of the foremost artists. This
rare combination comes in the person Of
Mr.. Francis Macmillen. the American,
who plays at the Belasco Theater on
Thursday afternoon.
Macmillen, while only twenty-five
years old. has not only succeeded in con-
vincing European critics that America
has at last produced violin Yirtuoso
worthy OF the name, but has combined
with it & popular success which, prior to
his return 20 America, made him the
sensation OF two seasons in European
capitals. American critics received the
violinist last year with the most hatter-
ing praise.

Luck In hor.eshoes.

The superstition about luck In horse
shoes dates back too far for record,
but it was not always confined to the
horseshoe. Any piece Of iron found in
ones path was accounted sign Of
good luck, and as horseshoes were
more commonly picked up than any
other article Of that metal that par
ticular object at last became the
standard emblem Of good fortune and
the supposed defense against bad luck.
In Aubrey's "Miscellanies," written
200 years ago. the author mentions
having seen the horseshoe nailed up
in church. and he also says that most
Of the houses in the west end Of Lon
don have the horseshoe on the thresh-
old" The horseshoe to possess virtue
must have been found, not purchased
or looked up. Admiral Nelson had
great faith in the luck Of the horse
shoe, and one was nailed to the mast
of his ship. the Victory. = London
