“Fish for Hearts” is a set of instructions for playing a game at “A Heart Social” or Valentine’s Special. It gives suggested fortunes for the game, for example: “You will marry a woman whose hair is red; then often you will wish you were dead” or “A bachelor maid is your lot in life, and you will tell other women how to be a good wife.” The game instructions are part of the Williams Collection at Old Independence Regional Museum.
