Concerning the Sneeze.

Sneezlng was considered unlucky In
Wales, but in Europe generally 1t was
deemed lucky, unless overdone. If a
man sneezed more than three times It
was a sign Of bad luck. The Welsh
belief in Ill luck has prevailed and It
Is a very general custom among Ital.
ians when a person sneezes to say,
"GOd be with you"
1t is curious that among the older
generation of East Prussians and Poles
a French word Is used when anyone
sneezes. 1t is "assez" (enough), mean
ing that a continuation Of the par
oxysm would be sign Of catching
cold.
