    (continued from previous page)
    St. Patrick's Day. Black is worn on the death of a relative and crepe armlets of black are also worn. Tailors will not work on Mondays and will not take back clothes to be remodled.
    The following is a verse connected with tailors:-
    "Four and twenty tailors went to kill a snail,
    The best man among them dare not touch her tail
    She put out her horns like a keloe cow
    Run tailors run,
    or she'll kill you all just now."
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
