II is all very well to talk about the advantages
OF the modern quiet and decorous Halloween In
contrast to the rather more boisterous ones that
were formerly the rule-and yet In In some
localities-but whatever the form of celebration
1t would assuredy lose all Its zest for juvenile
America without the grinning jack-o-lanterns made
possible by we plump pumpkins. Moreover. with
out the vivid-hued orbs the Halloween hostess
would be at loss for decorative effects at dinner
and party. And finally. without the wealth of the
pumpkins mellow interior we should one and all
be deprived of that supreme delicacy-the pump
kin pie-which is bounden right on Halloween
even If some grabbed old doctor does deny it to
all the rest of the year.
No one probably. has the Imagination to pre-
dict how could get along without the pumpkin
at this prankish time. because within the
memory of the Oldest inhabitant have we been
without these harbngers of the waning year. We
can imagine Christmas without tree illuminated

nomIcal post card valentines because 1t was not

day adjuncts. But Halloween without pumpkins
Why IT is too preposterous give credence even
for a moment AS well try to imagine Christ
mas without mistletoe mince pie; Memorial
day without flags; or Fourth of July without
fireworks.
Yet for all that It is the pumpkin and It's con.
tents that gives go" to the Halloween celebraton
this glory of the autumn field has never
been accorded much formal notice by an unre-
sponsive world To be sure. some homely poet
putting into verse the look of things in the period
