The story of two sisters, Miss Tutti and Miss Frutti Barber, was used to explain why the Halloween festivities were being held at the school this year. Everything changed after the incident involving the sisters:
Until then, Halloween in Maycomb was a completely unorganized affair. Each child did what he wanted to do, with assistance from other children if there was anything to be moved, such as placing a light buggy on top of the livery stable. But parents thought things went too far last year, when the peace of Miss Tutti and Miss Frutti was shattered (Chapter 27).
The previous year, some mischievous local children snuck into the house of the Barber sisters on Halloween. The sisters were both deaf, so they did not hear when the children walked around the downstairs of their house and moved all the furniture down to the cellar. The children thought it was a delightful Halloween prank. The sisters later awoke to discover their furniture was missing. It took some time before they realized it was hidden in their own cellar. This trouble caused by the children motivated some local Maycomb ladies to plan an organized event to keep the young people busy on Halloween night.
