Peacock Feathers not un,uck,

Grace, AShIand.-Yes, there is n
Widespread superstition in both Eng
land and America that peacock feath-
ers are unlucky. Their mere posses
sion is rcputed TO brinS misfortune to
the owner. Every kind of loss is
thought to come 10 the house which
they. adorn. including illness and
death. and many country people. would
be Mortified IL they were even un-
knowingly in house with these
feathers. 1t IS said children will never
be healthy in rooms adorned with
them. There Is. however, no more
basis for the belief in the ill-luck Of
peacock feathers than in any other
superstition. The sayings have been
handed down from remote times. AS
cording to NOLAN mcdan tradition, the
peacock opened the wicket Of Paradise
TO admit the devil. The Egyptians
said that the peacock's feathers were
