    (continued from previous page)
    June is considered the lucky month, May the unlucky month, and the 13th is considered the unlucky day.
    an old rhyme about marriages is :-
    Monday for health,
    Tuesday for wealth,
    Wednesday the best day of all,
    Thursday for crosses,
    Friday for losses,
    And Saturday no luck at all.
