the Lord of Death summoned those
wicked souls that had within the year
been condemned to henceforth occupy the
bodies of animals.
The people of England have long set
store by an elaborate observance of Hal
lowe'en, but even antedating their al
legiance was that of the Irish. In the
Emerald Isle 1t was the custom from
the earliest days for each household to
set out on this holiday the best viands
it could afford, apples and nuts being In
evitable features of the menu. In not
few instances peasants went from house
to house collecting breadcake, butter,
cheese, eggs and other eatables suitable
for a feast. Indeed. throughout Great
Britain bread or cake has long been asso-
ciated with the Halloween feast, and
even today in many English households
cake is baked for each member of the
family. An early Halloween observance
was that Of ringing the church bells all
night long, but stop was put to this by
King Henry VIII.
As hasNbeen said, many Of the features
of the Halloween program In ancient
times have been continued to this day
but for the most part the customs which
were once ceremonies of belief are now
observed only in jest. Halloween being
the first of the autumn and winter holi
days and. for the young people, the first
break in the school year Is invariably well
coined with especial enthusiasm. The
circumstance that Halloween is not a
national holiday does not In the least

were ready to play Orlando or Benedict.
To become acquainted with the people
of the town one should visit Weimar
during the week of Schutzenfest. hunt
ers festival which lasts eight days. In
this week of gayety is much drinking,
merrymaking and target shooting.
Though target shooting is now consid
cred as a sport, these sturdy Saxons
show by their strength and skill that
they have not forgotten the early method
OF warfare in which their forefathers ex-
celled.
But there Is so much to see In Weimar
one can not afford to let ones imagina-
tion run riot with fancies. A good start
ing point Is the Schiller house. Schiller
lived on the second floor and the apart
ment Is very homely. SIt consists of
living room, workroom, dining-room and
bedchamber. The living-room is the
most elaborately furnished. 1t has cup
boards which served for the keeping of
books and dishes. In one corner OF the
room is a spinet and guitar. In a
cabinet on the other side are seen dishes,
rings, letters, snuff-boxes and walking
sticks, used by the poet. The single
wooden bedstead in which Schiller
breathed his last is placed In the work
room. 1t is piled high with ribbons
which adorned wreaths sent by all ma
tions when he died. AS one gazes on
these faded ribbons ones eyes fill with
tears and the lips whisper. "They came

practiced at the general time is that in
which the credulous maiden eats an apple
before a looking glass while combing her
hair, confident that If directions be fol-
lowed explicitly the face of her destined
conjugal partner will be seen In the mir
ror as though peeping over her shoulder.
Equally well known is the scheme where
by any maiden may find out the first
letter of the name of her future hus-
band by peeling an apple, taking the
pairing by one end and after swinging
1t three times around her head allowing
it to fall In whatever fashion 1t may.
1t must be confessed that some slight
stretch of imagination may be necessary
to construe the position of the pairing as
indicating a desired letter.
There has been transplanted to the United
States from Scotland another means Of
peeping into the matrimonial lottery. By
this plan the young women go hand-ln-
hand, blindfolded, or at least with eyes
closed to the cabbage patch and each
pulls the first plant met with. Earth on

ingen forests. The air is refreshed by
small river which wanders gently and
romantically about the meadows, and

1t must be held back by a DAM The
town is adorned with a beautiful park
and some splendid monuments and some
very attractive homes. The Hotel Erb-
prinz is one Of the show places because
OF its historic associations. This hotel
was formerly a large inn and was for
many months at time the home Of Ger
many's greatest poets, musicians and
painters. When Franz Liszt first came
to Welmar this was his only home for
five months Here he practised and
played for many OF his friends and wrote
many OF the compositions which were
later brought out at the Opera house.
His bedroom and the room occupied by
Goethe are the two most popular rooms
in the House and guests bid high to say
they lived in the Liszt and Goethe rooms.
There is nothing especially noteworthy
in its furnishing except the beautiful
writing desk at which the great musi-
clan and composer wrote. The top is
shaped like a Greek temple decorated
with mirrors and marquetry wood the
rest OF the furniture is limited to a
wooden bed, a small table, washstand,

~ UST as thousands of tourists visit OBJ
erammergau to witness the Passion Play
and hasten to Bayreuth for Wagnerian
festivals so each year nearly the same
number visit Weimar, the Athens of mod
ern Europe. Ever since the two great
est German poets made this place sacred
with their memories, scholars and writers
no less than musicians have found It a
worthy retreat Dickens and Thackerey
spent some time here and George Eliot
and Madame de Stael sought Weimar as
a place of inspiration. Amalia Winter
in her charming Weimar album describes
the many brilliant English and Rus
SLAMS who came to take tea with Goethe's
daughter-in-law and spent the evening
listening to the reading of German and
English poetry. An Englishman Of that
day wrote in his diary these words in
memory Of Goethe and the days he made
golden: Sad heart why do you awaken
In me memories of those golden days
that hew bye so quickly. In the classic
town on the lin noted for its culture,
life In the open air and pleasure. Weimar,
oh. yonr name and its associations haunt
me now" There are still plenty OF asso-
citation to delight the thousands Of tray-
elers who spend several happy days
amidst these literary heunts.

the root of the cabbage thus selected
signifies dowry. The shape and size of
the vegetable denote the appearance and
size of the future spouse and the taste
of the heart and stem indicate his dis
position Nor is all the Halloween prog
nosticating for the benefit of the fait
sex. There have been designed for ardent
swains numerous forms Of divination, the
best known of which is that whereby the
smitten youth descends cellar stairs
with a candle in one hand and mirror
in the other, hoping to have the face of a
sweetheart reflected back to him from
the glass.
All the Halloween pranks above men
toned and host of others are intro
duced as adjuncts of the Halloween par
ties which now constitutes one Of tho
most popular forms of entertaining in
this country. That tradition has decreed
the occasion one of mystery as well as a
night of jollity and laughter paves the
way for unique entertainments and many
quaint conceits in the line of amusements
have been devised by resourceful hosts

affect its observance since its festivities
are for the most part reserved for the
period after nightfall when the work-a-
day world is presumably at leisure.
Various schemes for obtaining matri-
monial forecasts on Halloween have been
handed down to the present generation.
The roasting of nuts is an essential pre-
lude to most of them. Some inquisitive
madens are wont to place a number Of
nuts, each bearing the name of a lover,
on the bars of CRATE or among the em-
bers. According to the ritual II nut
cracks or jumps the lover will prove un-
faithful whereas if 1t begins to blaze or
burn he has regard for the person making
the test. II a nut burns quietly and
brightly especial sincerity of affection
is supposedly indicated. Similarly If nuts
named for girl and her lover burn in
unison an early wedding is to be ex-
pected.
Apples vie with nuts as Halloween vehi-
cles for discovering the intentions Of
Cupid. Indeed one of the best known
ruses, and perhaps the one most generally
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-03

and hostesses. Halloween has become
especially popular at schools and colleges,
as brief season given over to the pranks
of the students. Particularly Is there
fantastic observance Of the holiday at
girls boarding schools and women's col.
leges.
Novelty is the keynote of everything
connected with a Halloween festivity.
Like as not the invitations, menu cards,
tally cards, etc. are bespattered with
representations of witches riding brooms,
blinking owls, broad-winged bats and
pumpkins while for decorative purposes
there are pressed into service variety
of natures vivid-hued products such as
cornstalks. pumpkins, carrots. russet oak
leaves and green pine boughs. Finally
the refreshments, which are an indfspen'
cable feature. include apples, nuts, grapes
and other autumn delicacies.
Since mystic rites are to be essayed AMI
ghost stories and other spooky subjects
are likely to be among the topics OF con-
versation. 1t is not only permissible but
appropriate that there should be no bril-
liant illumination Of the scene of Hal
lowe'en party and this enables the use OF
candles set in followed carrots or the en-
ployment of jack-o-lanterns.
Certain well-kpown American host
esses, famous as the originators Of oddi-
ties, have given Halloween entertain
ments in barns and attics and in one In
stance a cellar was utilized,-black drap-
cries and the symbol of the skull and
cross-bones adding to the creepy at
mosphere. Highly popular as Halloween
entertainments are, masquerade parties
of one kind or another and shadow pam
tomdmes have come into extensive vogue
in recent years. Some of the games which
are now regarded as indispensable to
Halloween frolic have no significance as
matrimonial barometers. Foremost among
these is the prank of ducking for apples.
The apples are set ahoat in tub and
each person essays to catch one of the
floating prizes with the teeth, his hands
being tied behind him. The popping Of
corn at an open fire. fortune telling and
other old-fashioned diversions are also re-
yived for the benefit of the younger gen.

M more for its charm upon tradition and

Most of our American holidays COM
memorate historic events within the past
century and half and consequently can
not. Of course, have any Of the charac-
teristics of ancient ceremonial. Even
Christmas has, in its observance, been
modernised out of all semblance Of the
cid-tfme celebration. Halloween. how
ever, not only retains Its time-honored
significance and long-established ritual
but finds its chief attraction in these re-
minders Of bygone periods.
The festival of the night of October 81
has a number of different designations,
though none are so commonly used as
Halloween. The others are All Hallow
Even, Nutcrack Night and Snapapple
Night, the latter two being derived of
course from practices associated with
the occasion. Halloween derives its
most common name as the eve or vigil
OF All Saints or All Hallows Day (No-
vember u. From time out of mind this
has been heralded as a night when
witches, devils and other mischief-mak-
ing beings go abroad on their baneful
midnight errands. By a strange coinci-
dence, however, this same night is sup
posed to be devoted by the fairies to a
grand anniversary celebration.
The traditions of Halloween also teach
that on no other night in the twelve
month do such supernatural influences
prevail as after dark on the final day of
October. According to ancient beliefs the
spirits of the dead then wander about and
In some instances the spirits of living per-

likely to be warned or advised by the
elves on each recurring anniversary of

which he is supposed to have written
many of his most ardent love-letters and
parts of his Faust. Though many noted
guests have dined and spent some hours
In this inn, two other names have made
the place historic. Napoleon lived here
some weeks when he once paid visit
to Weimar. In the rooms is a large en-
pire table on which he is suppressed to
have written many important state let
ters. The great painter Mentzel also
lived here long time and painted some
of his greatest masterpieces.
There Is the same terrace overlooking
the garden where Goethe gave a dinner
to Prince Augustus; Liszt and others. 1t
is here whispered that he often paid for
Schiller's supper when his friend was
short Of money. Liszt also gave some
famous dinners here, played for his
guests and discussed his competitions at
length. A stones throw from the hotel

and appreciate this wonderful genius
when his soul needed their sympathy and
protection" Not far from the Schiller
house is the library of which Goethe was
director for many years. The building
showed that he was almost as good an
architect as poet. Not satisfied with the
appearance of the place he remodeled the
hall SO that the pictures. busts and books
would be In good light without being hid
den one by the other. There are busts
of many of the men who made Weimar
known to the world. In this nsmber are
seen Goethe, Schiller, Herder, Weiland,
Karl August, Lavater, Napoleon and
Madame de StaeI To one side is a large
room overlooking the garden where
Goethe worked many years and is sup
posed to have planned and written the
greatest part Of his Faust.
More interesting still is the Goethe
summer-house. a simple frame dwelling
surrounded BY lovely garden and wood.
