As a fan of the Betsy-Tacy books, by Maud Hart Lovelace, I had to have this postcard. It reminds me of Carney's Hallowe'en party, in Heaven to Betsy. Here are a couple of pertinent quotes from the book:

"Betsy certainly had no wish at all to settle down, but just the same she hoped she would see Tony's face if she walked down the cellar steps backward holding a mirror tonight."


'"Come on now," said Carney. "We're going to walk down the cellar steps backward and settle this matter of our future husbands."

They took turns, and each girl returned to the kitchen shrieking. When Betsy's turn came she discovered why. Carney had placed a particularly hideous jack-o'-lantern just where it would grimace into the mirror on the lowest step. This was fun but Betsy felt disappointed.'




The Hallowe'en postcard is owned by me and is for educational use only. Please do not take this picture. I do not own any part of the Betsy-Tacy stories.
