Excerpt:

"Hallowe'en is the one time of all the year when witches, ghosts and elves hold hay revels. Come and join them! This book tells how...

Hallowe'en, the night of October thirty-first, in the one time of all the year when an opportunity is supposed to be given for looking into the future and having one's fate settled for the coming twelve months.

Why not invite your friends to a Hallowe'en party and join in the fun of trying some of the time-honored ways of finding out what the future holds in store?

The traditions of this eerie night never change, but there are new ways of adapting them for parties, new ways of decorating, new forms of playing the old games and tricks that will help make the Hallowe'en party really successful.

Conventionality may be set aside and all sorts of games and stunts be used to entertain your guests."

   

"Many other costumes are described and illustrated in the book, "How to Make Paper Costumes," which is referred to on the inside front cover of this book. It will help when you are making Hallowe'en costumes."
