''pHINGS that people used to believe, and
X maybe still do
If you drop a dishcloth, you will have com
pany for the next meal. If you drop a fork, a
woman will call on you If a knife, a man.
... If someone enters the house by the rear
door and leaves by the front, guests will come.
... If your right hand itches, you soon will
shake hands with someone. If your left hand
itches, you soon will receive money. If your
noses itches, you will kiss a fool. ...
Sing before breakfast and you will cry be
fore supper. ... If you spill salt, you will suf
fer a disappointment unless you throw some
.’over your left shoulder.... Put a newly pulled
tooth under a glass tumbler and it will be
come a penny overnight. ...
If you stub your toe, kiss your thumb and
you will meet your beau. ... If a girl turns
the rings of nine boys, the next boy whose
necktie matches the color of the ninth ring
will be the one she will marry. . . . Put a
piece of wedding cake under your pillow and
whatever you dream will come true. ...
If you start housekeeping with a new broom
behind the door, and a crust of bread and a
coin on the shelf, you always will have a
clean house, plenty or tooa ana money. . . .
The woman who opens the seventh package
at a baby shower will be the next to have a
baby. ...
Make a wish when a load of hay goes by,
do not look at it again, and your wish will
come true. .. If you sleep in the moon’s rays,
you will become pixillated. . . . When you see
a white horse, good luck will follow if you
lick your right thumb, touch it to your left
palm, and smack your right fist into your left
palm. . . . Horseshoes must be nailed up with
the open side at the top, to keep the luck from
running out....
A mortally hurt snake will not die until
sundown. If you put a hair from a horse’s
tail into a bottle, and do not look at it for
three weeks, it will turn into a snake. . . .
Touch a toad, and you’ll get warts. Kill a
toad, and it will rain. ... If the sun sets m
the clouds, it will rain the next day. ...
A baby will become vain if it looks at itself
in a mirror before it is a year old. . . . When
a baby sleeps with its hands by its head, all
is well. ... A baby smiling in its sleep is
dreaming of the angels. . . . Forget-me-nots
grow where teardrops fall. ...
