- "Friday's flit is a short sit"It's unlucky to go on a journey or go on water on Whit Sunday.The child that is born on Whit Sunday is very cross, or the animal."Monday's child is fair of face
Tuesday's child is full of grace
Wednesday's child is full of woe
Thursday's child has far to go.
Friday's child is loving and giving
Saturday's child works hard for a living.
But the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is blithe and bonny, good and gay"Cutting Nails
"Cut on Monday, cut for health
Cut on Tuesday, cut for wealth
Cut on Wednesday, cut for news
Cut on Thursday, a new pair of shoes
Cut on Friday, out for sorrow
Cut on Saturday, true love to-morrow
Cut on Sunday, devil with you all week".(continues on next page)
