Other Crafts - A Literary Game for Hallowe'en from 1882

 


Found in Chapter IX, "Halloween and Other Amusements," a literary guessing game for home parties.  From the American Girl's Home Book of Work and Play, a free download from the Internet Archive.  A safer alternative to some of the other suggestions which include melting lead and burning nuts to read the future.  

If you are more actively inclined, costume ideas can be found in the chapter on sewing and doll's dressmaking (starting on p.235) and include a Normandy peasant, a Spanish dancer, and a marquise.
