In the pumpkin being confused with certain

can well attest, there is only one form of pumpkin
that Is worthy the name and occasion-that
shapely orb of JOY round ball and with its
glossy surface tinted more vivid orange than
the orange fruit itself. And yet there are people
who confuse the only and original simonpure
pumpkin with its numerous cousins. none of
which have Its traditions claims to distinction.
Just because the pumpkin belongs to the same
family as the summer and crookneck squashes
and the common nedible gourds Is no reason
why anybody should confuse them as one and
the same thing. Why, even the squashes that

have made their appearance at many an enter

the scheme of things rather than that they have
been required by any shortage of the real pump
kin crop. The situation may be explained by an
example. Your ingenious hostess employees the
real pumpkins halved with an opening at the
top. or slashed with the outlines of Jacks Wis

to give sufficient illumination for such a spooky
occasion. but she has miniature pumpkins fash

jacko'-lantern, and that there is very little diff

any student of this class of sculpture can assure
you that there are wide differences that distin

sole thought Is of the impression to be made
by the flaming countenance looking out from the
pumpkin bestow all their thought upon the facial
features that are to be thrown into relief by the
candlelight from inside of the pumpkin whereas

well-lighted rooms is wont to embellish plain
countenance with black white eyebrows and
mustaches and other supposedly life-like touches.

1t Is all very we'll 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
it would assuredly 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 should and all
be deprived of that supreme delicacy-the pump
kin pie-which is our bounden right on Halloween
even If some grabbed old doctor does deny it to
us all the rest of the year.
No one, probably. has the Imagination to pre-
dict how we could get along without the pumpkin
at this prankish time because not within the
memory of the oldest inhabitant have we been
without these harbingers of the waning year. We
can imagine Christmas without tree illuminated
by the tiny electric lamps or conceive St. Val
entne's day without those convenient and eco
nomical post card valentines, because 1t was not
SO many years ago that we knew not these holt
day adjuncts. But Halloween without pumpkins!
Why It is too preposterous to give credence even
for moment. AS well try to imagine a Christ
mas without mistletoe mince pie; Memorial
day without flags; Fourth of July without
fireworks.
Yet for all that 1T is the pumpkin and its con-

sponsive world. To be sure some homely poet

some passing reference to the frost on the pump
kim or something Of that sort, but what kind
of recognition is that for a vegetable the very
sight of which is enough to make ones mouth

But for all that there Is so little lore relative to
