Gypsies and Death,

The custom Of placing the property
of the dead in their graves has always
been followed by the true Romany
gypsies. 1t is due to some old tradi.
ton of i'll luck attending the possession
Of IN article whose former owner is
gone. and much valuable property is
buried in this belief. There is also a
sentiment among gypsies against the
possession of anything that has be-
longed to a dead person. because it
serves to remind the living Of the de-
parted and inspire in them q dread of
death. The custom Of burying their
property with gypsy dead dates from
the earliest history Of the Romany
tribes.
