The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1909-09-23

A womans real beauty depends
much on her figure She may or
may not have a pretty face, and yet
be able to dress so becomingly as to
appear attractive. But if her figure
does not possess certain lines of grace
she has lost that factor of woman's
charm which cannot be replaced by
amy substitute or covered up with be-
coming clothes. so THE CORSET
IS IMPORTANT, for ON the corset
the figure depends. THE KABO cor
set is the corset we recommend to
our customers, it is the corset that
can most effectively emphasize the
good points of each woman's figure
and eliminate as near as possible
each defect We are now showing
a full lime of this KABO corset i'm all
the new shapes. Prices are-Price
$1.00 to $500.

LUCK IN THE HORSESHOE.
Myth Is Traced Back 70 the Greeks
and Their Sen God Poseidon.


From TIE Team Owners Gazette.
OF all the emblems for good fortune the
horseshoe stands among the first. Every
body knows st is unlucky 70 pass horse
shoe on the road without picking it up. 1t
IS a luck emblem OF the greatest power.
Again we are indebted for this statement
to old tales. centuries In age. that have
descended from father TO son, from moth
er 70 daughter, through the years.
The old myths repay research The luck
OF the horseshoe has a most respectable
beginning 1t is traced to the religion OF
the old Greeks and their sea god Posei-
don. who was IDENTICAL with the Roman
sea god Neptune.
To Poseidon horses were sacred, and 70
him they were sacrificed. Poseidon was
believed 10 have created the first horse
when he struck the ground with his tri-
cent and a horse sprung from the hole
which aTterward became a spring. The
sea god was the lord Of springs. To him
all springs were ascribed. In the shape
OF a horse he sometimes wandered by the
shores OF his ocean domain, and where
he struck his hoOfs deeply there the wa
were found This is the reason why
horseshoes are reckoned lucky. Going 70
the root OF the matter, one sees a nature
myth as the root principle From the sea
all rain comes. and 70 the sea all springs
owe primal origin. and 10 the rain and
the fresh waters. sea derived, We owe all
fertility on earth
The old Greeks. therefore. worshiped
Poseidon as the fortune-giver through his
springs. They gave him horses. his pre-
cious beasts. and they adOred the foot
prints OF horses when they found them,
for they might be the very footprints OF
the god himself.
When the horses came 10 be shOd the
transition OF the luck emblem from the
footprint itself 70 the shoe mark-practi-
cally the same thinc-was easy.
Pegasus. the winged horse. from whose
hoofs the water springs .gushed cOpiOusly
when he came 10 earth, has been credited
with the origin Of the horseshoe luck.
The horseshoe was a specific against
earthquakes. It would keep a house safe
from harm by earth shaking. Again, one
perceives the sea myth-Poseidon was the
shaker Of the earth.
