2. FAGOT GHOST STORIES.
(Seepages 83-119 for suggestive styles of ghost stories.)
All may be invited to sit on floor in circle. At center of circle hostess places a table on which is a dish of salt covered with burning alcohol. Then each guest receives a fagot. Hostess takes one and lights it and begins to tell a ghost story. When fagot is burned out she stops. The first person to her left tells a story after she has lighted a fagot and the story ceases with fagot. Stories should be awful, grewsome, ghostly.
FORTUNE-TELLING.
(See pages 79, 82 for suggestive fortune-telling.)
Next should come the Fire Tests of chestnuts, etc. Meanwhile hostess has disappeared, and returns dressed as a fortune-teller. She offers to tell fortunes or read character.
