    Lore of certain days
    If you marry in May you will rue the day
    If you marry in the Harvest your children will be bracket.
    Monday for wealth
    Tuesday for health
    Wednesday the best day of all
    Thursday for crosses
    Friday for losses
    Saturday no good at all.
    It is not right to pay out money on Hansel Monday because you would be paying out money the whole year. If you put out ashes on a Monday you will put out the luck of the week.
    Lizzie Coyne, Kildangan. From my mother Mary M. Coyne 1938.
