The Apple Trick at Halloween
A favorite Halloween divination is the apple trick. You suspend an apple in the doorway so that it hangs five feet above the floor, and as many persons as pass under it so many months will elapse before you marry. This trick should not be told to the rest of the family or they may attempt to thwart you by dodging under the apple. If the tenth person hit the apple, you will marry ten months from this date, or next August.
The apple games are many. The trick of sticking an apple seed on each eyelid is ever new and true. Name each seed, and the seed that sticks longest will stick to you through life.
