— Here's Hallowe'en just around
the corner! I feel sure that
witches are dusting off their broom-
sticks, the black cats are tying huge
orange colored bows around their
necks, and the goblins are making |
themselves look more dread-inspir- |
ing than ever!
And we are making all sorts of
preparations to receive the ghostly
visitors in the style to which they
have become accustomed. No Hal-|
lowe'en party could be complete
without fortune telling.
Who isn't curious about the fu-|
ture? I've found that those who
shout the loudest that they don’t
believe a word of forune telling, are
the first to want their palms read
and their fortune told by cards.
Hallowe'en wouldn't be the good |
old Hallowe'en of pumpkins, cats
and caldrons, if everyone's fortune
weren't told by half a dozen meth- |
ods at least.
The old method of diving for an
apple has been modernized. Cut
all the letters of the alphabet out of
celluloid. Have several of each and |
put them all in a tub of water.
Each guest ducks for a letter and
the one he gets is the initial of his
bride-to-be, or of the groom in the
case of the girls.
If no letter is caught, the person
is fated to be an old maid or bach- |
elor. But only until the next game
foretells the doomed party that he
will marry three times.
Here's a variation of the same
theme. Get a big pumpkin and
te leters all over it. Blindfold
each guest, provide a good, old fash-
joned hat pin and let him plunge it
into the initial of his future spouse.
Now the cat does his share. He
should be big and beack and have
a wide, grinning mouth. And he
should be pinned across the portieres |
that separate adjoining rooms. The
guest writes a question, folds the |
paper and slips it into the cat's]
grinning mouth. |
Behind the curtain is the scribe |
with a number of general answers
written in invisible ink. If he has
an appropriate answer at hand he |
slips it back into the mouth, other- |
wise he quickly writes one. The |
questioner has to hold the answer
up to a candle before he can read it. |
If one of you has a good imagi-
nation and a good line, she candon |
a witch's garb and read the crystal. |
Select a girl who knows the crowd |
well so that her prophecies and past
readings will be fairly credible. She |
should wear a mask to make the
performance more uncanny.
Over a make-believe fire in a se-
cluded corner of the room suspend a
large iron kettle. At some time
during the evening an old witch
rushes into the room. The lights
have been turned very low to make
it more witchy. In a covered bas-
ket the witch has a number of in-
gredients which she will need for
charms. She gives the basket to

the hostess and then retires, mut-
tering to her witch kettle. The
hostess explains that the objects
must be passed through every hand |

the company into a line. Then she

passed very quickly to the next, and |
all along the line little screeches |
follow. Next comes a chestnut burr, |
then a piece of ice, an old glove fill-
ed with mush, a large soup bone, a|
large grapefruit without the skin |
and an oyster. The horrid feel of |
these various things will keep the
company squealing and when the last |
has been dropped into the witch's
kettle the bandages are removed and |
thy may look in. The old witch
then stirs and stirs and later in the
evening takes from the kettle writ-
ten fortunes for each guest.
Give each one an orange envelope
which must not be opened until
quite late. The paper inside seems
blank, but when held over a candle
the surprises, which are written in
lemon juice, become readable. Some-
like the following will be
found lots of fun-—written with
lemon juice instead of ink.
“In the front room two steps to
the right
Your lover waits for you tonight.”
(The lover is a man cut from a
fashion advertisement.)
And so on. You can think of ever
so many funny s3y—
some that will suit for each of your
guests.
For another very old ceremony
the entertainer must have on hand
a ball of blue yarn. This is a
charm for the girls only, and to
preserve its full efficacy the girl
performing it must steal away (as
out into the dusk of porch or,
grounds) without the rest of the
company being aware of the fact.
Therefore, the ball of blue yarn
should be left where the girls can
take it up surreptitiously as oc-
casion offers.
Taking the ball in her hand, the |
maiden seeking to read the future
casts it from her, retaining, how-
ever, the loose end. This she then
proceeds to wind it into a fresh ball.
The old ball must be thrown as far
away from one as it can be made to
carry. As she winds the new ball
let the fate tester repeat this po-|
tent charm, “True love to find,
true love to find, slowly the magic |
ball I wind.” Presently, if the Hal- |
lowe'en influences are propitious in|
her case, she will feel someone hold- |
ing the ball from waich she is un-|
winding. “Who holds?” she must |
ask. An answer will be whispered |
from the darkness and this will |
give the name of the future hus-
band.
It might, in fact, be an excellent
jdea to have at hand an interpre- |
tress of all the charms and tests
requiring an explanation to whom |
the guests could apply when in|
doubt. ‘This person should be a |
good parlor fortune teller and might |
