that to hang one above the door would

Divers theories have been advanced in
many generations TO account for the SUI
perstition respecting lost and found
horseshoe. The most popular-probably
because It is the oldest-connects it with
the pagan worship of Astarte, the Greek
goddess, identified with the moon. Under
the name of Ashtoreth she was wor-
SHIPPED by the Babylonians and other
eastern nations. When the crescent moon
reappeared after a period of moonless
nights the goddess was supposed to have
arisen from the dead. Devout worshlpers
made obeisance to her and uttered in
vocations II Is said that when the horns
of the crescent pointed upwards 1t be-
tokened good fortune 1t would seem to

superstition you speak of has come to my
knowledge, Readers are invited to name
