The Defender offered suggestions for hosting a Halloween party. “Billikens who plan to entertain their friends this Hallowe’en might give a ghost party or a barn party. Both parties, from beginning to end, should have a mysterious element. Pen invitations on cards in the form of black cats, ghosts, or witches...If the evening is opened with stage entertainment the whole place is kept in darkness and moans, groans and hisses continue from all parts of the room until the guest feel shivery. If all enter into the spirit of the occasion pandemonium will reign.”
