T $ 99* 5 1 Superstitions are rather preva lent among the Pennsylvania Germans. If you were raised in a household where they were be lieved, you may never be able to get over them. I remember being told by a friend that her mother always changed the calendars on the first of each month. By doing this, she was the boss of the house for that month. Often a piece of jewelry can become a good luck symbol. My parents did not want to ac cept a two dollar bill as it was a sign of bad luck. A great aunt of mine would not say “thank you” for a plant, as then the plant would die. And, if she gave one away, she did not expect a “thank you” either. Many superstitions have to do with bad luck. I was always told never to sew a garment while you are wearing it. '•t, some ies it is a iptation to / a button if you’re in nirry. Per tally, I like , walk on the same side of a or a post my hus id does use having mething Lancaster Farming, Saturday. April 13, 2002-B7 come between us. My grandfather always put one shoe in front of another when he went to bed so that he would rise to walk the next day. Even though my grandmother was told it was bad luck to sew on Sunday, she embroidered as she said it was the only day that she had time to do it. I can be lieve her as she certainly had no conveniences in 1873 when she was married as we have today. My mother forbid me to whis tle as it was a sign that I’d come to no good. She would say, “A girl that whistles is like a hen that crows and should have her head chopped off.” She was told many superstitions and she passed them on to me. I think we all know of the good luck charm of carrying a four-leaf clover or a rabbit’s foot. And often as a child, we pulled the wishbone of the chicken apart and made a wish if we got the long end.
