  1. (continued from previous page)
    "Monday for Wealth.
    Tuesday for Health.
    Wednesday the best day of all.
    Thursday for crosses.
    Friday for losses.
    Saturday no good at all."
    There is also an other rhyme about the colour of the dress,
    "Married in blue, you are sure to be true.
    Married in white your chosen all right,
    Married in black you wish yourself back.
    Married in green a shame to be seen.
    Married in brown you live out of town."
