Halloween Charm and Ghostly Visit in Leicestershire
In a Leicestershire farmhouse tale, two girls perform a Hallowe'en charm by washing their chemises and await visions of future husbands. An apparition of a cavalry captain, a curate, and a butcher's boy appears, causing illness, tragedy, and the narrator's later reunion with her husband, who also dreams of a haunted encounter. The story ends with a reflection on hellish apparitions and lingering belief.

Art of table setting from Ladies Home Journal
The notes advise a round table for easy seating and the use of flowers to enhance the feast. It outlines place settings with two forks and an oyster fork to the left, a dinner knife and a soup spoon to the right, and glasses aligned with the plate’s inner edge. Glasses should be no more than three quarters full. The table uses a thick flannel underlay, a white damask cloth, and often an embroidered lace overlay in colors matching the dining style.
