Party Suggestions

Nut-Crack Night

[In the northern part of England, Hallowe’en is still called Nut-Crack Night.]

For a Nut-Crack Night Party, write invitations on a pumpkin-shaped booklet, cut double, with face of Jack-o’-Lantern painted outside; inside write:

On Nut-Crack Night you’ll meet your fate,

Please come at eight, do not be late;

What mysteries are to be seen,

You will not know ’til Hallowe’en.

Decorate your rooms with yellow and black tissue paper streamers, and hang from the ceiling by threads, cats, owls, bats and witches cut from black paper. Pinned on the curtains and screens they give a weird effect. Light the rooms with Jack-o’-Lanterns or electric candles.
