DECISIONS FOR HALLOWEEN.


II, when you enter the house Of
your host on the might Of All Hal
lowe'en, you are confronted by a
ghoslty being, who floats with your
wraps, telling you as he floats that
you are TO follow him, don't get
scared. You are lust entering an
age of Paganism. with all the Gus
toms of our forefathers who lived in
Ireland and Scotland and other lands
thai abound in lore, which has for
is beginning the fairies, pixies and
spirits, evil and otherwise, of the
other world.
Our ancestors worshiped with feal
and trembling the FAIRIES and the Boz
gle man and the brownies and pixies,
but We make them serve as charact-
ers for our masque and for our fun
On the mystic night. That night
furnishes the best kind of an excuse
to gather together in an unconven-
tional manner and, sitting around
the FIRE with only candles shedding
their ghostly light and with the
grInnings faces of the pumpkin and
the death head looking into ours at
every turn, tell fortunes and create
charms to bring the ones We love to
US at any time and at any place.
The love potions prepared by the
dark of the moon at midnight on
Halloween are the only original,
warranted not to fail potiOns, and If
every direction is not carried out in
the proper manner the potion will
not be effective. But trust super
stitions to do the right thing in or
der to get their wishes fulfilled.
When the named chestnuts are
put on the hearth to pop, everyone
Is filed with as much anxiety as If
the popping of that chestnut really

charm fails. There are innumerable

Invitations will soon come pouring
in, written on queer cards and paper,
in ghostly writing that can be read
only in the dark, and in many other
forms that remind one what toex-
pect when one enters the house the
night of the affair. 1t is night for
the ghost. and since that frail per-
sonage is given only one night in the
year, it behooves US to treat him
right when he comes, which will be
on the night of October 81.
