unexpected places--grinning
Jack-o'lantern heads, with ghostly bodies, immense false faces with
lights behind them, witches, grotesque animals including black cats,
black bears, etc. From cobwebs of grey cotton or wool ropes suspend bats
and spiders. Leave objects about for guests to stumble over and have as
many terrifying noises as possible.

In a corner of the cellar, screened by canvas and guarded by fierce
goblins, have the Great Chief Ghost and his secretary on a throne.
Around the corner have a ring of ghosts manufactured from brooms with
sheets and white cowls. The ghost hunters sit on the floor in silence
for a few moments. Then the secretary, in terrible tones, calls the name
of each guest and gives the list of his pet sins. The secretary should
be a person with ready tongue and wit knowing jokes on each individual.
When the secretary finishes each case, the Great Chief Ghost asks the
defendant what he has to say for himself. If the latter plead his case
successfully and solemnly swear that he is prepared to tell a ghost
story if called upon, he is allowed to select his own punishment. If,
however, he cannot clear himself, the Great Chief Ghost names his
punishment. The sentences should be as ridiculous as possible.

The trip back from the cave should be as tantalizing as can be made.
Viands should be offered and whisked away. The clever host and hostess
can devise many tricks.

The Ghost Hunt should end in a brilliantly lighted dining room with
table set for supper and time allowed just before midnight to try the
familiar Hallowe'en charms. This party can be given by a club or church
using a big house and grounds. Decorate the table in unique arrangement
of pumpkins, fruits and candies and serve any preferred menu, or this
one:

_Oyster Soup, Alphabet Crackers,_
_Veal or Chicken Patties, Cold Boiled Ham or Tongue,_
_Potato Salad, Apple Sauce, Dill Pickles,_
_Hot Gingerbread, Cheese, Coffee._

A HALLOWE'EN SUPPER.

Some merry, friendly countra folks
Together did convene,
To burn their nuts, an' pluck their stocks
An' hand their hollowe'en.

--Burns.

_Bow-kail Salad_
_Brownie Cake, Halloween Jelly_

BUTTERED SOWENS--Oatmeal made into mush and eaten with butter and sugar.
The Scotch always have this for their Hallowe'en supper.
