First of all, decorations and table ta-ble settings don't have to be letter perfect, for you can have the most fun in the midst of the basement or barn decorated with sheaves of cornstalk, pumpkin faces, rakes, hoes and goblins made of sheets. For your table use a large piece of burlap or cotton sacks sewed together and dyed scarlet or gold. A centerpiece of pumpkin pump-kin with candles inside the hollow hol-low or fruit and burnished autumn au-tumn leaves will bring cheers. Write fortunes and place them in apples or nuts. Play pin the tail on the cat. Bob for apples. Have target practice with bean shooters. Dance the Virginia Reel and other square dances if your floor can stand it all amid plenty of black and orange crepe paper. Halloween's the time for all this noisy fun. |
