practiced Of all the Halloween recipes is that
which admonishes the credulous maiden to eat
an apple before looking glass while combing
her hair with the promise that If these direc-
lions be followed explicitly the face of her
destined conjugal partner will be seen in the
mirror as though peeping over her shoulder.
Equally well known is the scheme whereby
any maiden may find out the first letter of the
name of her future husband by peeling an ap-
pie, taking the pairing by one end in her fin
gers and after swinging it three times around
her head allowing it to fall in whatever fash
ion it may. little imagination may be neces-
sary to construe the position of the pairing as
indicative of a desired letter, but usually this
mental aid is readily supplied.
Another mode of peeping into the matri-
monial lottery has been transplanted to Ameri
ca from Scotland By this plan the young
women go hand-in-hand, blindfolded, or at least
with eyes closed, to the cabbage patch and
each pulls the first plant met with. Earth on
the root of the cabbage thus selected signifies
dowry. The shape and size of the vegetable
denote the appearance and size of the future
Spouse while the taste of the heart and stem
indicate his disposition. The Irish girls have
a scheme for catching a glimpse of a future
husband by throwing ball of yarn out of the
window, holding the end of the yarn and then
rewinding it saying the Pater Noster backward
If the ball Of yarn, outside in the darkness be
watched carefully the young woman may hope
to be rewarded by seeing the desired appari-
ton. In this same old-fashioned category is
the legend which admonishes girl to wet the
sleeve of shirt and hang it on a chair before
the fire ere she retires on Halloween Then If
she remain awake until midnight she may see
her future helpmate enter the room and turn
the drying garment
Entirely erroneous is the impression prevail
ing in some quarters that all matrimonial prog
nosticating, as carried on at Halloween, is for
the benefit Of the fair sex. AS matter of fact
there arg aamerons forms of divinaion de-
signed for the use of ardent SWANS. The best
known of these is that wherein the smitten
youth descends cellar stairs with a candle in
one hand and mirror in the other, hoping to
find the face of sweetheart reflected back to
him. Especially adapted for practice by farm
er Lads is the hempseed ordeal. The youthful

of baking on that night cake for every mem
Der Of the family. Centuries ago it was the
practice to ring the church bells all night, but
King Henry VIII Of England put stop to that.
In the United States at the present time
there is comparatively little thought given to
the history of Halloween in connection with
its twentieth century observance. Today it is
above all else an occasion for sport and frollcs
and feasting in various forms. The customs
which were once ceremonies of belief are now
observed in jest Particularly is this the case
with respect to the matrimonial forecasts, but
naturally interest in these methods of learning
fate's verdict is not lessened by the knowledge
that the same expedients were employed IN
deadly earnest by the bellies of several hun
dred years ago. The roasting Of nuts is
time-honored Halloween practice, and many OF
the ruses for learning fate's decree in the
matter of matrimony are identified with this
feature. Inquisitive maidens are wont to place
a number of nuts each bearing the name OF
lover, on the bars of CRATE among the embers.
According to the ritual if nut cracks or
jumps the lover will prove unfaithful where
as if it begins to blaze or burn he has regard
for the person making the trial. If the nut
burns quietly and brightly especial sincerity
of affection is indicated Similarly, if the nuts
named after girl and her lover burn together
an early wedding may be looked for.
Apples, next to nuts, are the favorite vehi-
eles for discovering Halloween the inten-
tions. of Cupid Indeed, at the present time
perhaps the best known and most generally

carrots russell oak leaves and green pine
boughs. Similarly the autumn products-apples,
nuts, grapes, etc.-afford ample menu for re-
freshments for guests imbued with the spirit
of the occasion.
fayorite means for lighting at Halloween
parties is afforded by candles set in followed
carrots and JACKIE lanterns The JACKIE Ian
terms are fashioned, as most o. S&r readers are
aware, by removing the pulp from pumpkins
and squashes; cutting openings to represent
eyes, nose and mouth and fastening a lighted
candle inside. If desired the bizarre effect
may be emphasized by adjoining the visage OF
the pumpkin lantern with painted white or
black eyebrows and mustaches Sometimes a
hostess ambitious to make her Halloween en-
tertainment unique in every respect elects TIC
hold it in a barn or attic, or even in a cellar
Black draperies and the symbol of the skul
and cross-bones have likewise been used on
occasion to add to the Creepy" atmosphere.
No Halloween party would be complete with
out certain time-honored pastimes on the pro
gram. Conspicuous among these is the peren
niaIly popular prank of ducking for apples
The apples are set afoat in tub and eacn
person essays to catch one of the floating
prizes with the teeth The hands must not be
used at all in this attempt 1t is said tnat
the only sure way to capture an apple is TO
force it to the bottom of the tub and there
hold it close while 1t is caught with the teeth
However, very few contestants employ tnls
method and their antics in pursuing the elusive
apples are often amusing in the extreme. Zesf
may be given to the apple ducking by provid-
ing a grab bag Of prizes, which is open to the
contestants in the order In which they capture
apples.
An apples tied to a string and swinging in
doorway Is anotr@r variation of this diversion,
and yet another trick is to suspend stick by
a string tied in the m112le. An apple Is placed
at one end of the stick aad lighted candle at
the other, and the stick is then whirled around
rapidly. The object, of course, is to catch the
apple with the teeth and not inadvertently
grasp the candle When cake is baked at
home for halloween party it is customary to
place ring in the loaf just as in a wedding
cake, and also a key. The ring, of course, sig
nifies marriage while the key signifies jour
ney for the finder.

Rapid eating is not only unpleasant
" suggestive of the methods Of the

of greediness, but is usually noisy as

mouthfuls to keep the mouth closed

concerning their future life partners. Indeed,
Saint Matrimony is the patron saint Of Hal
loWe'en and it is the night of all nights for
peering into the future, and particularly for
discovering just what sort of husband or wife
fate has decreed for the unmarried.
Halloween appears to be in its origin GU
rious combination of classic mythology and
Christian superstition. For instance, the Ro-
mans had on November / a feast to Pomona,
there was formal opening of the stores of
eatable laid up in the summer for use in Win
ter This may explain the origin of the very
appropriate plan of using nuts and apples in
connection with the Halloween festivities. On
this same date occurred the great autumn fes-
tiyal to the sun, with which the Druids an
cient Celts celebrated thanksgiving for their
harvest. On the eve of the day the Lord Of
Death called together the wicked souls that
within the twelve months had been con-
demned henceforth to occupy the bodies of
animals
Especially quaint has been the observance
of Halloween in Ireland, where from the earl
lest days it was the custom for each house
hold to set out on Halloween the best viands
It could afford and apples and nuts We're de-
youred in abundance. In some instances peas
ants went from house to house collecting
bread, cake, butte5l eheese, eggs and other
eatables for feast. IN many parts of Great
Britain bread or cake has long been associated
with Halloween, and to this day the women OF
some districts in England observe the custom

lump of sugar should always be kept
between the cage wires within easy
reach.
Always give a canary a bath the
first thing in the morning. After
cleaning the bottom of the cage should
be sprinkled with gravel and sand (not
sand from the seashore, as the salt
will kill the bird).
Never hang the cage in a draft or
a stiff breeze, as canaries are very
susceptible to cold. Neither should it
remain uncovered in lighted room
at night, as the birds song is liable
to become impaired.

In selecting a canary one of the
cross-breeds, pure canary with strain
of goldfnch or bullfnch, is the best
to choose, as they are much harder
than the pure canary and have splen-

is canary and rape seed, one part of
rape to three of canary. From April
to September they should have a lit

and yet more significant, it is for the young
folks the first break in the school year. WITH
al, its festivities are for the most part reserved
for the period after nightfal SO that even the
individuals who are occupied during the day
may participate.
The festival of the night Of October 81 Is In
its origin and traditions one Of the most pic
turesque which finds observance in this
country. It has a number of different designa-
tons among which are Halloween, All Hallow
Even, Nutcrack Night and Snap Apple Night.
It derives it most common name, however, as
the eve or vigil of All Saints or All Hallows
Day November u. From time out of mind
this has been heralded as a night when
witches, devils and other michiefmakers are
abroad on their baneful midnight errands,
while the fairies are supposed to hold on that
night grand anniversary
To accept the spirit of the season the de-
voice Of Halloween must concede that no
other night of the year do such supernatural
influences prevail as after dark on the closing
day OF October. According to ancient bel1efs
the spirits of the dead then wander about and
in some instances the spirits Of living persons
are supposed to have the temporary power to
leave their bodies and join the ghostly throng.
Especially gifted with the power to converse
with airy visitants are persons who have had
the good fortune to be born on October 81,
but other folks also, tradition hath it, may be
warned or advised by the elves.
For all that such awesome doing are at
tr1buted to the mysterious spirits that are
abroad on Halloween these supernatural be-
1ngs cannot be altogether i'll natured since
they are willing without fee or reward and on
the condition Of the performance of very SIM

man or woman most interesting particulars

REPORT FR0HMAN STRICKEN
Denied by Manager-Said To Be
Suffering from Rheumatism.

There was report last night that
Charles FrOhman was stricken with
paralysis earlier In the day at his coun-
try home at White Plains, where he
had gone several days ago. This was
denied by Mr.. Frohmans secretary and
James b. RegaH, proprietor of the Hotel
Knickerbocker, where Mr.. Frohman
stays when in town. They both said
Mr.. Frohman had suffered considerably
from articular rheumatism ever since he
returned from abroad on June II.
According to the secretary. Mr.. Froh-
man has been worried since he re-
turned from abroad on June Ia be-
cause Of his inability to attend rehear-
sails, but aside from the rheumatism he
was doing as well as could be expected.
Mr.. Regan declared that Mr.. Frohman
was not at his country home. but was
resting comfortably at the hotel.
Alf Hayman, general manager for MI
Frohman. said Mr.. Frohman's condition
vas unchanged since he was taken I'll
on June Il. He added that there was
no truth that Mr. Frohman had suffered
a stroke Of paralysis.
