ll get the money, but if they escape he will not. _Prince Edward Island._ 716. If a group of bubbles are floating on the tea or coffee cup, take them up in a spoon, and swallow them unbroken, saying, "Save my money." _Plymouth and Salem, Mass., and New Brunswick._ 717. If when you stir your coffee at breakfast you will try to catch the bubbles on top, you can have as many dollars as you can catch whole ones. _Alabama._ 718. To find money and keep it insures good luck through the year. _Talladega, Ala._ 719. Put the first piece of money you get in the morning into your stocking, and you will have more to add to it before night. _Alabama._ 720.
