TO KNOW WHETHER A WOMAN SHALL HAVE THE MAN SHE WISHES.
Get two lemon peels and wear them all day, one in each pocket, and at night rub the four posts of the bedstead with them; if she is to succeed, the person will appear in her sleep, and present her with a couple of lemons; if, not, there is no hope.
TO KNOW IF A WOMAN WITH CHILD WILL HAVE A GIRL OR A BOY.
Write the proper names of the father and the mother, and the month she conceived with child; add together the letters in these words, and divide the amount by seven; if the remainder be even, it will be a girl; if uneven, it will be a boy.
TO KNOW IF A NEW-BORN CHILD SHALL LIVE OR NOT.
Write the proper names of the father and the mother, and of the day the child was born; count the letters in these words, and to the amount add twenty-five, and then divide the whole by seven; if the remainder be even the child shall die, but if uneven, the child shall live.
