HALLOWEEN GAMES.
from Mrs. A. H. r., Hyattspille.)
To the reader requesting Hal
loween games for adults: Have you
thought OF the games you played
As a child on Halloween? Last year,
my husband and thought it would
be fun to be "kids" again, and the
quests all said they had a wonderful
time. OF course, we ducked for
apples. And had q flour pie"
Make q mound or pie, OF plain hour
In which coins are buried. Each
person takes q turn in cutting q
slice with o knife and feeling for
q coin. If he is successful. he must
pick up his coin with hands folded
behind him, using his mouth only.
Another game is to divide the
guests In two teams. The captain
Of each team is given an apple or
orange. The apple must be passed
from person to person by holding
It under the chin. No hands allowed.
Two other games of similar
nature are passing q sheet OF
tissue paper, several inches square
along the two teams from mouth to
mouth-again no hands. The
other Is to have q circle Of string
for each side big enough to pass
around two people. They must put
1t over their heads, slide 1t down
and step out-turn and circle the
person standing next to them. Not
too much string, please.
And did you ever walk up to the
door to shake hands with your host
or hostess and shake hands with a
glove full Of wet sand instead? The
doorway must be dark, Of course.
I'm sure you can recall other games
of this type from your childhood.
Childish, Of course, but that's the
fun!
