After the first day there was a definite shortage of girls without threads on their fingers. Because of this it became necessary to tie second and even thrid threads on the fingers of some. Many girls merely took off the extra threads immediately after they were put on. Others who apparently had an endless fund of wishes, had three or four threads on at once.
