Another item on the St. Andrew's Night party programme:

3. Kto awansuje w najbliższym roku? Wyścig butów
Św. Andrzeju daj mi znać co się ze mną będzie dziać?

And that's all there is. It's followed by the next item on the programme.

Thank you in advance :-)

arranging shoes in line from one end of the room to another one/door/exit/entrance

it has to be fairly descriptive. years ago it was a way of foreseeing which girl is to get married first.
