A playful entertainment idea for gatherings titled Witch Fortune Telling Party merges fun frolic and mild mystery. A boy named John performs as the cabinet witch behind a curtain while guests, seated in the parlor, rise in turn to receive a playful future reading from the dramatic display.
A man describes constructing a witch costume from a chair and curtain to tell fortunes at a party. John sits in the cabinet, wrists bound, and a padded fist forms the neck. A white cloth head with painted features and a hood completes the figure, which speaks in a disguised voice while the sitter sees the fortune teller.
The third contribution from OutLook youthful readers is printed here amid other submissions. Prizes are offered for contributors, a baseball glove to boys and a camel hair watercolor set to girls, with stories to be on one side of the paper.
