FLOWERS THAT ARE UNLUCKY
Various Superstitions That Some Per-
sons Are Said TO Have Implicit
Faith In.

Never make a present Of bunch of
violets with an ivy leaf tied up with
them. If you do you will surely quar-
rel with the person to whom you make
the gift
This is all very regrettable, no doubt,
since ivy is convenient ms cheap and
easily obtainable ornament; but II
one wants TO safeguard oneself against
bad luck one must be prepared to make
sacrifices.
The unluckiness Of bringing haw-
thorn indoors Is so we'll known as
hardly to need mentioning, but fewer
people are aware that yellow flowers
are unlucky unless they are mingled
with flowers OF another color. For in
stance. yellow roses are supposed 10
cause lovers TO quarrel.
Never have only yellow blooms In
any room in which you are saying
goodbye 10 someone who is going
away. II you defy this superstition
there is strong probability that you
win never see the departing person
again.
Never pick up a dropped flower that
Won find In the street No matter how
fresh and inviting II may look, YOU
must pass hy and leave II where II
lies. Otherwise You may bring mis-
fortune upon your unwise head
