ALL HALLOWEEN.

Dear Juniors: Halloween, the
night of the last day Of October. is
fast approaching and plans are al.
ready being made for parties and all
manner Of good times. The jocular
spirit that hunts rampant and many
little fun escapades are overlooked,
which would be considered highly I'M
proper If happening on any other oc-
casion. A few words as to the ori-
gin and significance of the day are in
order at this time and some sugges-
lions as to how the Halloween
evening" may be best celebrated may
doubtless be of interest to the Jun
Tors who are planning entertainments
for that night.
To those who ask the significance
of this day the answer is that like
all festival days now having only
secular Interpretation, 1t has re-
ligious origin. From the time I'M
memorial it has been the custom to
celebrate the last day of October,
"aallow eve" or "e'en' as it Is gene
rally called.
1t is recorded in history that long
before the "Wise Men of the East
proclaimed the birth of Christ that p
great festival was held on this date
by Druid priests inhabiting Britain.
AS the nations became Christianized
the day was called Cali Hallow" be-
cause it preceded All Saints Day.
Two hundred years ago it was Gus
tomary to build huge bonf1res on the
hills to proclaim that majestic and
sacred rites were being performed,
that 1t was q season of great rejotc-
ing, so huge fire of logs is valu-
able tribute to Halloween party.
OF course Jack lanterns must glow
from every available corner and
book cases. in fact every spot capa-
BILE of holding it should bear grin
ming Jack"
Have popcorn to be popped by the
guests. dishes filled with red apples,
and bowls Of nuts to crack.
Bobbing for apples is game so
old that no one seems able to tell Its
origin, but no Halloween party Is
complete without 1t, even If apples
are higher now than when the sport
originated. Fill small tub with
water, put in eight or ten apples, first
having inserted in one of them ring,
in another thimble, in the third a
coin. and in one button. Thus Will
the fate of four people be decided on
the spot.
The candle" fortune is always
popular. Place lighted candles in an
open window and the one which
burns the longest is one who will re-
main faithful to the end; of course
the candles are silently named be-
fore being lit.
