    a person could step through them without breaking them. Then they take someone out and get her to practice and then blindfold her and some of the others take up the cups, saucers, and spoons and when she starts to walk other children rattle them so that she will think she is breaking them. This cause great amusement. All the children like Hallow Eve.
