    Game played at Hallowe'en
    Put three saucers on the table. Put clay in one, water in another, and a ring in the third. Blindfold a person and tell him, or her, to put their hand in a saucer. If they put their hand in the clay they will die soon. If they put their hand in the water they will cross water soon. If they put their hand on the ring, they will get married soon.
