After going thru siege after siege

came on his own accord and has
played the game ever since. This is

My blocks live on the first shelf
My ball lives on the top,
They're going home together,

Different toys are named until all
have gone home.

"Ghost-Fear" Strong
Among Real Romanys

If. during country stroll, you come
to a clear-running stream or river,
and notice at the bottom collection
of broken crOckery. kettles, pans, and
so on, you may be sure that gypsy
camp Is near, and that q gypsy has
died there.
On that day after the funeral OF
a real Romany, the relations burn all
the clothes and other consumable be-
longings of the dead person. Then all
the crockery and utensils are broken
and s0lemnly thrown into the near
est running water.
Behind this queer custom lies
'ghost-fear." It is believed that, so
long as any Of the possessions OF a
dead gypsy remain intact, his ghost
will walk" and ill-luck and misfor-
tune will dog the camp. Sometimes,
80 strong is this superstition. even
the horse Of dead gypsy is de-
stroyed.
Gypsies never utter the names OF
the dead, and for long time after a
death will not eat or drink anything
that was favorite with the departed.
This is "ghost-fear" again.
Rarely, IL ever, are flowers placed
on gypsy's grave. Some little pos
session that they loved in life-a toy
for child, or q blackened teapot,
broken first, for an old woman, and
SO on-is the usual choice.
