WEDDING DAY OMENS

The bride who dreams of fairies the night before her marriage will bo twice blessed. If the bridegroom carries a miniature horseshoe in his pocket he will always have luck. Don’t wear an opal. Some people declare that opals are lucky. History proves the contrary. The bride who finds a spider in her wedding dress may consider herself lucky. No bride. If she would have good luck, should bake her own wedding cake. To do so Invites ill fortune. Should a bride, perchance, see a funeral while being driven to the railway station prior to departing upon her wedding tour, she should order the driver to turn back and start over again, or else she will surely meet with bad luck. No bride or bridegroom should be given a telegram while on the way t» church. It is a sign of evil. To try on the wedding ring before the day of the marriage is considered very unlucky. And for the bridegroom to drop it while placing it on the bride’s finger is also held to betoken misfortune. To lose the ring—or even to remove it frond the finger—is another unlucky sign.
