'ANN LANDERS Answers Your Problems Dear Readers: I asked for it( It all happened when a man who signed himself "Am I nuts?" wrote to say he was worried about being a slave to a few silly superstitions. ; I told him almost everyone has some little superstition and not to worry. ' And then I did it: I invited the readers to unload their superstitions on me. "It may make you feel better to tell Someone," I said innocently. Now, all I need is 13 addition al hands to open the mail. But I'm not complaining. The letters have been fascinating, and I'd like to share some of them with you. Dear Ann Landers: A few years ago I was in a big poker game and lost my wad. I happened to look out the window and saw a new moon over my left shoulder. This means good luck, so I de cided to go home for more mon ey. On the way home a big black cat ran across my path. This means bad luck. I didn't know what to do. I finally decided to contiuc n home, get $50 and go back to the game. Well, .1 cleaned everybody never won so much money in my bloomin' life. Since then I've never been superstitious. Btnny.

He grabbed it and put it on the dresser. She laughed and said "Sueh rot! Shame on you!" When we got ready to go home our hostess almost died of em barrassment. Her cat had a lit ler of kittens in the hats of two male guests. Not my hus band's, thank you his was on the dresser! Dear Ann: I used to be super stitious until a detective told me that almost every gangster who was bumped off had a good luck charm in his pocket. Lefco. Dear Ann: I am 10 years old. My grandpa told me if I ever saw a bat flying during the day time to spit three times and I would not have bad luck. Last year when I was in the fourth grade I saw a bat outside the windew.
