dreamy time preceding one of the

placing Of flowers and lighted candles
on the graves in the Catholic GENE

chiefly in the Latin nations.
This ceremonial occurs on the
evening OF ALI Saints Day, and on
the eve Of All Souls Day, which is on
November End, and which is dedicated
to prayers for the souls supposed to
be In purgatory.

the prayers Of the people who fill the

Somehow, somewhere, however, in

the kind of night which Its name
