Borrow a wedding ring, concealing the purpose for which you borrow it; but
no widow’s or pretended marriage ring will do--it spoils the charm. Wear
it for three hours at least before you retire to rest, and then suspend it
by a hair off your head, over your pillow; write within a circle
resembling a ring, the sentence from the matrimonial service beginning
with, _With this ring I thee wed_, and around the circle write your own
name at full length, and the figures that stand for your age; place it
under your pillow, and your dream will fully explain whom you are to
marry, and what kind of a fate you will have with them. If your dream is
too confused to remember it, or you do not dream at all, it is a certain
sign you will never be married.
