Another pretty custom is that of
ships of fate, which are made of
the hollow shell Of an English
walnut, filled with melted wax,
into which a cotton wick is insert
ed or a small candle is fastened to
the bottom by melting the end Of
the wax taper. 1t takes three
such boats to determine a fate.
One is plainly marked with the
owners name; the other two con-
tain folded slips of paper, with the
name of an admirer inscribe on
each. The candles are lit, and
three boats are then placed side
by side in a tub of water. 1t is
pretty sight to watch these tiny
banks, especially if several fleets
are launched at the same time, for
the interest deepens if one boat
veers off and attaches itself to an
other barge. The admirer whose
candle burns the longest is sup

pairing an apple carefully, whirling

In the Land of Cakes, where
Halloween customs are most in
dustriously observed, the pulling
of the kali" obtains. Members of
both sexes go forth blindfolded in
pairs, to the kali yard, or cabbage
patch, hand in hand, and pull up
a cabbage each. They are carried
to the house for inspection, when
the shape of the root determines
whether the future mate will be
tall or short, fat or lean, and SO
forth. In cities where the cabbage
patch is an unknown quantity it
is just as much sport to go blind.

is an assortment ofvegetables from

if the maiden's candle burns out

boats lack life a small breeze is
created by gentle tanning.
A popular superstition which
halls from Old Ireland is for the
girls in the party to throw ball

prophecy by catching the ball,
tearing off piece and retaining
the end, the sequel being that he
will be the lucky husband.

Election in the mirror.
Swapping apples is another old
custom. A beam is suspended
from the ceiling horizontally. A
candle having been placed on a
nail at one end and an apple on the
other, the beam is set in motion
while the merrymakers

Apples and all fruits of harvest
time have conspicuous part in
Halloween celebrations, due prob
ably to the season Of the year dur
ing which the day falls. Naming
apples" is another old custom. An
apple is selected and named for
the bestowed ones, the seeds are
saved and counted and the state of
the loved ones feelings are dis
covered after the following for
mula:
One love, two love,
Three 1 love, 1 say.
Four l love with all my heart,
And FIVE 1 cast away.

Eleven engaged, and twelve he

Bobbing for apples is a univer-
sal custom among young people,
and it is we'll to make this a means
of divining the future by arrang-
ing two tubs, one for the lads and
one for the lasses, and filling them
with floating apples into which
names of the members of the op-
posite sex have been inserted on
little slips of paper. The name
contained in the apple secured by
a participant in the sport will be
that of the future wife or husband.
And the custom of burning nuts
which have previously be en-
named" is as old and universal
as that Of bobbing for apples. If
the nuts burn steadily, side by
side, it is good omen that the
love of their namesakes will run
smoothly, but if one cracks and
flies away, strife and discord will
be sure to arise.

Another idea for invitations is
to sketch on heavy water color
