Take half as many apples as guests, tie two long strings, one red and one yellow, to each apple.

Place them in one large or several small baskets or receptacles on a table. The girls choose the red and the boys the yellow strings and at a signal they carefully pull the strings and follow them up until each finds his or her mate holding the string of the opposite color, attached to the same apple. The apples are then to be divided between each couple and the seeds in each half, counted as follows:

One—I love thee.

Two—he (she) loves me.

Three—Wedded we will be.

Four—he (she) loves me dearly.

Five—he (she) loves me nearly.

Six—a friend forever.

Seven—we must sever.

Eight—we met too late.

Nine—why hesitate.

Ten—he (she) is my chosen mate.

Sit on round bottle laid lengthwise on floor, and try to thread a needle. First to succeed will be first married.
