HALLOWEEN PLEASURES.
A Frolic for the Evening When the Spell
of the Future AbouDds.


of the Future AbouDds.
The following suggestions for an
American Halloween reproduces many
features of delightful party given by
young farmer and his wife among the
Doneglan Glens of Ireland:
Over every door of the house and
rooms apple parings hang, and beside
each maiden watches eagerly the lad
whom the fairies have chosen to pass
under it first. Meanwhile she sits
busily cutting out letters of the alpha
basins of water. With inflated cheeks
she is to blow the letters into line so
they shall spell the charmed name of
her dearest friend.
Groups of lads duck their heads deep
into buckets of water to bring out with
their teeth small coins scattered over
the bottom OF the tub.
Others still test apple charms-first
peeling the apple, then winding the
peel about the head three times the
while wishing a wish" and throwing
the peel backward over the left Shout
der. The initial letter it forms begins
the name of the future sweetheart
Then the apple mast be eaten and the
seeds stuck upon the palm of the hand.
These are named for as many different
friends, then tossed over the left Shout
der-the one remaining is the true heart
chosen by fairies
Again, salt herring lin IrelaLd they
must have been playfully stolen are
broilcd without turning, eaten with hot
tongs, then dreamed on" without
drink The dreams, supposed to be
ruled over by fairy folk, are sure to
come true" Then banpocks arc fried
upon griddle by the lads, and who
ever turns one without breaking it will
some day win the maiden who mixed
the batter. Hazel nuts are burned and
their ashes carefully done up in pack
ages These are hidden under the pill
low TO insure happy dreams.
Then corn popping, molasses boiling
and chestnut roasting goes on. Some
times but two kernels of corn are put
in the skillet and over it two friends
bend to take note of their future for
tune. Ii the two kernels pop decorously
inside the skillet. they are to remain
friends forever. If one kernel pops out
side the skillet the one toward whom it
pops will be the breaker of that friend
ship. If both go outside the separation
VIII be mutual.
Dancing led by rollicking music goes
on until midnight Then under 4 spe-
cial spell the fairy folk reveal b. signs,
well understood among these supersti-
tious people. their fortunes for the COM
Ing year.-Ladics' Home Journal.

BED AND BEDDING.
Two r'ashfouablc Modes Employed in
Dressing the Sleeping Couch.

{ Two r7ashiouabIc Modes Employed in
! Dressing the sleeping Couch.
/ The sham bed, with It's huge square
! pillows and berufiied covers, is practi-
/ cally out OF use. The only pillow used
! on the bed with families of good taste is
/ the oblong one, which is not too large
| for use. The large square pillow vas,
/ in fact, never used. 1t was only gor-
geous show piece to display a more gor-
| geous sham.
There are but two ways of dressing 4
| bed for the daytime in fashionable use.
One to use 4 pure white counterpane,
/ folded in conventional manner below
| the bolster, on which oblong white pill
! lows arc laid covered with pillow-cases,
! either hcmstitched or ornamented with
| drawn work. The other is to upholster
| the bed, using a colored spread of silk,
! cretonne or other rich. suitable ma
terial, with round bolster, which is
! covered with material similar to the
covcrlet and is fastened to it perma-
ncntly and finished at each end with
rosette or an upholsterer's tassel.
Where bed Is furnished with demi-
tester cr half canopy, it is rather more
desirable TO uphclstcr it in this way.
| Where it lisa plain wooden bedstead, in
4 country bedroom, fine white coun-
ter-pane and linen pillOw-cases are in
! rather better taste. Separate pillows
should be used ON the bed in the day
time from those in use during the night,
in order TO keep the bed looking neat
and spotlcss. IF one desires to take
nap during the daytime, a lounge should
be provided in every bedroom for this
purpose wherever it IS practicable. All
, English bedrooms are fitted out in this
way, with Il simple lounge with nova
BILE cushions and a comfortable pillow.
Where 4 white counterpane is used or
where the bed IS upholstered, the day
coverings must b. removed at night and
the night pillows and holsters, in case
of the upholstered bed, are put on.
This is 4 moments work and it Is al
ways the duty of the housemaid to at
tend To this at night to prepare the bed
for slUmber Is much rs 1t IS to make the
bed il the morning, yet it Is very often
neglected and left to De attended TO by
the guest.

The good old wharf that berths alike
The seadog and his cat.
OFT in that cat, with sheet hauled flat.
AdZooks! I've sailed the rims.
While Obed rolled his quid and told
What he had seen in ships;

And roasted in the tops;

How on some ground just off Japan
They grappled with typhoons,
Or in the life of great sperm whales
Drove deep their red harpoons.

The swift winged summers go;
One season came with joy and guests,
But found not Captain Joe,
And now, with apprehensive glance,
question wharf and wave;

But where is Captain Dave?
Is it that in yOn blue above
These missing seamen sail?
And manning Arco in the skies
Strike they the starry Whale?
For me it were no sorry fate,
Free from all mOil below,
TO cruise in some celestial craft
With Captain Dave or Joe.
The harbor light burns clear and bright,
But past its rudy glare
DO sails still glide to seas outside
M Ill
Still as of yore stretch moor and shore,
And still sail the rips;
But where are they, these shippers gray,
Who sailed not hence in ships?
