Nobody Seems to Like No. Is
Nor Does Anyone Really
Enjoy Breaking
Mirrors

It's old fashioned to be supersli-
tious, SO most folks say that they
aren't If you can answer all the
following questions in the negative
you really are not, and deserve some
sort Of medal for bravery:
Are you quite sure that you would
willingly be one of the fatal thirteen
to sit down to dinner? Would you
choose to live at No. 13? Would you
walk under ladder? Would you
break mirror without an involun-
tary shudder at the idea OF seven
years bad luck?
Whether unlucky or not, number
thirteen is thoroughly unpopular. If
thirteen sit down to meal, the first
to rise will die within a year, says
superstition. The person born on the
thirteenth of the month will be I'M
lucky throughout life; no one should
embark on journey or start an
enterprise on the thirteenth of the
month; while the thirteenth house
in row or street is nearly always
tenantless or remembered ia or Is.
Three is lucky number. People
born on the third day of the week
(Tuesday) are under the special
protection of providence; while those
born on the third of the month are
declared to be forever safe from fire,

FOLKS SAY THEY AREN'T,
BUT MOST OF THEM ARE

drowning, prison, and robbery. Folks
with three initials are more lucky
than folks with less or more. and
marriages contracted on the third
day of the week will always turn out
lucky.
The mystic number is seven,
neither particularly lucky nor I'M
lucky; but it is supposed to have
close association with the unknown
world The seventh child Of sew
enth child is endowed with clairvoy,
ant power and second sight; and
people born on the seventh day OF
the month will come into touch with
the spirit world, and will dream
dreams and see visions.
Lies critical periods are every
seven years. Twenty-one and forty
two (three times seven and six times
seven) are recognized as the periods
Of ones life when great care should
be taken.
The most lucky number Of all is
nine, because it is composed of three
threes. People with nine letters in
their names will always be lucky. A
name composed of three letters Is
Ia lucky name, unless the number of
letters that completes the name
makes thirteen.
For example, Ada is a lucky name
having three letters, but supposing
the other names are Mary Dobson.
all three names are unluclSy, because
the sum total of the letters OF the
three names is thirteen.
There is no significance about
four; but supposing your name Is
Maud or Jane, and the surname Is
Brown or Jones, both names are
lucky.
