If by any chance a mourning hat or bonnet is placed upon your head, you will need one of your own soon.
If your right ear burns, some one is praising you; if your left, your friends are raking you over the coals.
Returning to the house for a moment after having once started out will bring bad luck unless you sit down.
When, in dropping a fork, it strikes the floor and stands upright, it will bring a gentleman visitor; if a knife, a lady.
While at the washboard, if the suds splash and wet the clothes you are wearing, you will have a drunken husband.
If you drop your dishcloth you will have company ; also if you sweep a black mark, or if two chairs stand accidently back to back.
If a boy sees his face in the glass it will be the death of him. If his nails are cut he will be a thief. If he tumbles out of bed it will save his being a fool.
Break a mirror, sign of death. Death Is also foretold by a dog bowling under a window ; hearing a mourning dove, a strange dove hovering about, or dreaming of a white horse.
If you see the new moon through the glass you will have sorrow as long as it lasts. If you see it fair in the face you’ll have a fall. Over the left shoulder bad luck—over the right good luck.—Cleveland Plaindealer.
