DRESSMAKING SUPERSTITIONS.
The dressmakers, in London, have been busy recently. By chance, I was talking to one and learned to my surprise that they have many superstitions, says a writer.
“I shall be hard at it till midnight (this was on Thursday),” she said, “for nothing would induce me to put my scissors into a piece of stuff on a Friday."
She also said she would never put in the left sleeve at a fitting. “Anyhow,” she concluded, “I am in for some bad luck because I spilt my pins this morning.” Do other trades, I wonder, have their special superstitions?
