Superstitions of Halloween
Halloween, as we know it, is confined to tricks, all of which, have, for their detriment the discovery of one's own true love, or the unravelment of a love affair. Notwithstanding the fact that Halloween is the night of true love, it is not considered a propitious thing to receive a proposal on this night. If your lover proposes on Halloween, let lira bind you by tying a blue ribbon on your wedding ring finger.
It is well in dressing for the evening to have somewhere about your person the requisite bit of ribbon, lest, if you should receive & proposal and accept it, the ribbon might be lacking, the spell would be broken, and your lover would surely leave you within a twelvemonth.
If on Halloween you shake hands with a very blonde man, you will have a proposal before the bells shall have rung in the new year of 1898. If, on the other hand, you shake hands with a very dark man you will not have a proposal within a year. If a medium man, you will receive one next June.
Halloween is the night for deciding if you have two lovers, and are not clear in your mind just which yon prefer. Think of both just before you go to sleep, and you will dream of the one that you should marry.
