FORTUNES AND FAVOURS.

Fortune telling « great fun. and hold* more than a spice of mystery. There are many way* in w'hich you can "foretell" the future, and t'jis one will can.se great amusement. Take an ordinary piece of paper and on it write out a nuinlier of •'frivolous" fortunes. The following will j-ive you some idea of what to put: "I see a sudden trip in store for vmi; probably down the front stein* tomorrow.

There are slight di*turlmnew and uprisings around von; hut only if von arc making bread. -.

Cet the idea ? You can think out others for yourself, but do try and make them as amusing as possible.

Another way is to write short fortune* on a piece of paper with a pen • lipped in lemon <ir onion juice. When they are dry roll them up and place them in the cauldron.

The witch beckon* her guests towards the fireplace and invites them to form a half-circle around her. She then asks each gucMt to take out one of the scrolls and when everyone has one they are asked to read them aloud. Each fortune will have to be held towards the warmth of the lire before the writii." will appear.

If you do not like the idea of posinrr a* a witch, you could disguise yourself a* a gipsy fortune teller. Wear Ion" dangling pairings and a coloured hand" kerchief on your head. A pack of cards should occupy a prominent place on the table.
