A Tradition Handed Down From th4
Ancient Drujds

SuSiSuI DTuiCSs
The observance OF Halloween, OF
All HaliOw eve, is a tradition handed
down from the ancient Druids, who
celebrated their harvest festival on the
last day of October. The next day
was All Hallows' or All Saints day,
and so they called the festival All
Halloween.
The gay games of modern times are
not much like the solemn rites of the
DruidS. but connection may be traced
between the supernatural beliefs of
the ancientS and the burleSque at.
tempts to pry into the mysteries OF the
future which our own Halloween fun
represents.
Long after the time of the Druids
simple minded country people contin-
aed to believe in charms and witch
craft and especially claimed that on
the night of Oct. 81 witches and COB
Inns held revel and fairies danced
about in the woods. From these spir-
Its or their manifestations it was be.
lieved that the future could be fore
told ane human destinies discovered.
As our celebration of the occasion is
merely whimsical adaptation of al!
this. there is one thing clear at the
outset-to successful Halloween par.
ty the young guests must bring a>large
stock of Imagination. zest for merri-
ment and an unfailing fund Of good
fumor. for many Halloween tricks
result in turning the laugh on one or
another. and this must be accepted in
a gay, good natured spirit. Old fash
toned Halloween parties We're held in
the kitchen. and where this is prac-
ticable it is Il good place for many of
the games. But all of the rooms used
should be decorated with trophies of
the harvest. Pumpkins. apples. grain
stalks and autumn leaves offer ma.
teriais for beautiful and effective trim
ming. and If desired draperies of red
and yellow cheesecloth and ornamental
tons of red and yellow Grape paper
may be added. Jack-o lanterns are of
course a necessity Wells In

SILVER WEDDINGS.
They Had Their Origin In the Regis
of Hughes Capet.

They Had Their Origin In the Regis
of Hughes Capet.
The fashion of silver weddings dates
back to the reign of Hughes Capet
king Of France in 9S7
Once as Hughes was arranging his
uncle's affairs he found on one of the
estates a servant who had grown gray
In the service of his relative. He had
been such a friend of his master that
he was almost looked upon as one OF
the family.
On the farm with this old man was
also serving woman who was as old
as he and also unmarried and who had
been the most devoted and hardwork-
ing Of the women servants of the kings
uncle. When the king heard these
praises of the two, he ordered them to
be brought before him and said to the
woman:
"Your service is great, greater than
this mans, whose services were great
enough, for the woman always finds
work and obedience harder than
man, and therefore I will give you q
better than dowry and husband.
The dowry Is here-this farm from this
time forth belongs to you. If this man
who has worked with you five and
twenty years is willing to marry you,
then the husband is ready"
''Your majesty" suffered the old
peasant confusedly, show is it possible
that we should marry, having already
silver hairs?''
"Then it shall be q silver wedding"
answered the king, land here I give
you wedding ring drawing a costly
ring from his finger and placing the
hands of the thankful old people to-
gether.
This soon became known all over
France and raised such enthusiasm
that it became fashion after a TWEEN.
