ALL HALLOWEEN is HERE
ANNUAL RECURRENCE OF A NIGHT
OF ROMANCE ,A$D MISCHIEF.
The Sentimental and the SuperstitiOus
and the oommnipre.ent
smalI boy.

All Saints day, the festival in honor OF
all the angels and saints in heaven, which
is observed in the Roman Catholic, the
Protestant Episcopal and Lutheran
Churches November 1 with special services,
is preceded by vigil in all Christian coun-
tries little like the pious meditations of the
morrow. In different countries the name
describing this day, October 81, is variously
Hallow eve, Hallomas eve, or Halloween.
but in the vernacular Of the small boy OF
this great country, to whom its annual
recurrence is a never-failing inspiration for
mischief, 1t is Holly Eve night" ingram
NAUTICAL that may be.
1t is only natural for the young to play
pranks on Holly Eve night" because it Is
an ancestral heritage handed down through
generations of small boys. In the days
when witches were believed in Halloween
was devoutly regarded as the night OF an
others when they were abroad in full force
accompanied by sundry devils and otner
misunderstanding beings, and it was also
believed to be the anniversary when the
fairies held their annual ball.
Romance Has It's Place.
There was. and there still is. romance
connected with the celebration. There are
countless spells and performances and fire.
side revelries. such cracking nuts, duck
ing for apples walking upstairs backward,
looking in mirror and other necromancieS
by which a participant is enabled to see
the features of him or her who IS destined
to be the future partner for life.
In these days. however, when supersti-
ton is going the way of all such things
that get in the way of the wheels of civili-
cation and progress. the small boy makes
the night his own, and it is very open
question If he does not accomplish as much
mischief as the supernatural beings did In
the dark days gone by.
Mischief That Is Vicious.
Frequently the pranks of youthful cele-
brants of Holly Eve night are more
vicious than mischievous, and belated pc
destrians are made to suffer bodily injury
in getting tripped up by wires strung across
the sidewalk or bruised around the face
and neck by wires strung higher to knock
or hats. Clothing is also ruined by the
villainous practice some bad boys have of
throwing flour.
The more harmless performances, how
ever, are not Objectionable and many an
adult who goes to answer his changing door
bell tonight and finds empty portal will
smile as he shuts the door and remem-
bers how he, too. celebrated Holly Eve
night and worried the sedate part Of
neighborhood people temporarily out of
their wits.
