    MY goodness--has the passing of the century (these 2 over 100 years old) distorted the meaning of these cards to such an extent it leaves up shaking our heads?
    BUT,YOU MUST ENLARGE THESE TO SEE THEM
    Photo two--from top of photo #1. A little girl has claimbed the stairs and ... card says
    "WHAT THE HAT DID"

    MARY WAS ON HER WAY UPSTAIRS
    TO PUT TO BED HER DOLL;
    SHE WAS SOMEWHAT SUPRISED TO SEE
    THE HAT STAND IN THE HALL..RED HEART SAYS "TO MY VALENTINE" ,A CLOSED UMBRELLA NEXT TO THAT.
    Oh I didn't see this on back before--It is a TUCKS card "Puns" Seried #13
    Hat-stand--I get it. But these days we seldom see them. We never had one in my family.
    NEXT CARD
    This is a Halloween card--At first glance you would never know it. Then you see an ugly hag witch on a yellow circle but OK, listen to THIS!

    FILL YOUR MOUTH WITH WATER, SHUT IT TIGHT;
    PRAY FOR GOOD LUCK ON THIS MAGIC NIGHT.
    CROSS YOUR FINGERS AND GO FORTH TO GREET
    THE FIRST MANYOU MEET UPON THE STREET
    AND NO MATTER HOW ODD YOUR ACTIONS MAY SEEM
    HE'S BOUND TO PROPOSE TO YOU HALLOWE'EN

    I SAY WHAT!!DON'T RECOMMEND TRYING THAT!
    I WISH I COULD EDIT THE CARDS HERE--BOTH A VIVID CONTRASTED GRAPHIC CARDS--NO SUCH LUCK SHOWING THEM HERE THIS CARD IS HALLOWEEN SERIES, MAILED Burton,OH 1910 to RG Osmond,Charel---,OH.
