Wishing You a Jolly Halloween, October 29, 1913
01
Artifact Overview
Anonymous mischief had long been an expected part of Halloween. After all, it was the night the spirits were out! Pranks and practical jokes of all sorts were popular--especially among young men and boys. Most pranks were just annoying. Other pranks were more destructive--especially in urban areas--leading communities to begin hosting children's parties by the 1920s to discourage vandalism.
