Conventional designs the word “mother”, coats of arms, anchors, female figures, ships, clasped hands, daggers, crosses, bracelet, and tombstone are also popular. “Superstition enters largely into the selection of the design.

Neptune and a bevy of mermaids is supposed to keep a man from drowning. A foaming glass of beer insures happiness.” * * * * *
