at the "witch's pie" which
contained fortunes attached to
ribbons that were drawn by the
guests and as each one read their
future they were greeted with
peals of laughter.
Another feature of the eve
ning's entertainment that caused
much merriment was the passing
of cards from one guest to an
other, on which was written a

began sneezing regardless of the
warning.
