A Halloween postcard, circa 1920s.

Hallowe'en Greetings
When the candles flicker
When the wind goes woo-oo
May it mean a fortune
Mighty good for you.

"Meeting of Ye Hallowe'en Spirits. This way! OWL."

In this unusual Art Deco postcard from the 1920s, pointy-eared Smurf-like creatures ride a turtle through the woods on their way to a meeting of Halloween spirits.

You Teach Each Little Elf More Than You Know Yourself

An insulting "vinegar valentine" for schoolteachers.

Schoolmistress

You teach each little elf
More than you know yourself;
And talk like a petticoat college;
To spank the little boys
Is the greatest of your joys;
'Tis thus you preside at the seat of knowledge.

For another example of a vinegar valentine, see Wretched Typo the Printer.

Good Luck
