Games for Halloween Delphic Oracle, Icy Hand and Apple Bobbing Will Entertain Guests,

"1 NT girl can find out at least A the first letter of her future **• husband's name by peeling an apple carefully, so as to keep the paring in one unbroken ribbon, then taking the paring by one end, swinging it three times axound the head, and letting it drop. The paring surely will fall into the shape of the desired first initial. Two appleseeds stuck on the eyelids help one to see which of two lovers is the more desirable. The seeds are named after the lovers, and that which drops from the lid first indicates the sweetheart whose love is not enduring. * • * S' - 1 UPPLY each guest at your party with a piece of bright L___J 'red sealing wax, and a cup or shallow bowl of ice water. The wax is melted and dropped through a key or a ring (a wedding ring, if possible) into the water. It will instantly harden in branch-like forI mations. supposed to be "pro- | phetic.” Any ingenious person can interpret the shapes and furnish much amusement. Thus, a bell-shaped drop indicates "a wedding within a year”; anything resembling a torch or lamp may be a forecast of ''fame,” etc., etc. • • • S'l TUFF an old kid glove with rags or paper. "Wet the outside of the glove with ire water. Invite your guests, one by one, into a darkened room to meet the “presiding spirit” of the evening. The person holding the glove contrives to have the guest take it in his or her hand. It is even better for the host to put a wet glove on his own hand and grasp the hand of each person with it. The clammy, creepy feeling of being touched with a cold, wet glove will get a rise out of most anybody! It is one of the best of the Halloween spirit tricks. • • • Tr~~~' HE "Delphic Oracle” will provide much amusement for a _J Halloween party. Some member of the party should be stationed in a dark comer. Let him stand on a box to increase his height, shroud him In a sheet, and let him hold a jack-o’-lantern or iis head. The oracle can answer only “yes” or "no” to questions asked her. but the vehemence with which she nods or shakes her head can be very expressive. The oracle should be surrounded by cornstalks and autumn leaves and vines silmply arranged.

Pumpkins and vegetables of all sorts can be used to hold candles. * * * mN bobbing for apples, the hands of contestants should be tied behind them. In the he;s t of each apple a name may be placed, or an initial letter cut in the skin. Each player will draw one apple with his teeth from the tub of water in which they are floating. The person whose name or initials are on the apple drawn out of the water will he the partner of the one who bobbed for It. The apples should be stemless. In some localities the winner of the greatest number of apples is awarded a prize. Center Road Guides Illuminated traffic and street guides, placed in the center of intersections, are replacing the old lamp post and its signs. The guides ict also as dummy traffic cops.
