WEDDING SUPERSTITIONS.
If the youngest daughter of the family is married first, her elder sisters must dance at her wedding, without shoes, unless they wish to bo spinsters. If a peacock is kept in the house the daughters will marry, nor will they if bees make a nest in the room. Only continuous or heavy rain on a wedding day is a bad omen; a shower signifies that the bride's tears are over. After the bride is completely dressed she must not look into a mirror until after the ceremony, or some accident will befall her. It is very lucky to rub shoulders with bride or bridegroom, and the person who does so will marry soon and happily.
