From the late 1800s through
the 1930s, socializing parties were very popular and many charms and
fortunes dealing with romance, predicting a mate, and telling ones
future were incorporated into parties. Some charms and fortune telling were
taken seriously, others were just part of a good dinner
party. Some were a bit odd, such as going out at midnight and
pulling kale by the roots to foretell your future, others were more familiar
such as cake charms, spinner fortune games, fortune punchboards, and fortune predicting
like those in this book.
