Halloween. and All Saints Day.

Next to Christmas and Easter. for
many families the most touching
church festival in all the Christian
year is. or should be, the first Of No.
vember. All Saints day. That is the
day set apart by the churches in com.
memoration Of all the unrecorded
satnts-and few are the families that
find themselves without some dear
and blessed. and ven sainted, mem.
DRY to dwell upon.
1t fs curious that Halloween, the
eve of All Saints day, should ever
have come to be observed with wild
skylarkina %buffoonery. and mas
querade. The explanation is, Of
course. that. in spite Of its name,
Halloween has no. connection with
the festival Of All Saints. It appears
to have had Its origin in a druidic
festival, celebrated with many super.
stitious rites" These. in modified
form. survived the introduction Of
Christianity into Britain; certain
characteristics of the Roman festival
Of Pomona were grated on them;
and subsequent Anglo-saxon and Cell
sponsible for still further additions. :
or late years there has benin
the country districts, at least-some
improvement in the manner Of cele-
brating Halloween. The practice Of
carrying off gates, breaking down.
fences and defacing property is less
popular than 1t was, and may soon
become obsolete. In many towns and
cities, however. Halloween is still a
synonym for disturbance. Masks and,
FANCY costumes are a shield for rowdy
conduct ;and horns and whistles make
the night odious.
1t Is not necessary to strip HAL
lowe'en Of its traditional quality Of
festivity and merry-making; but it's
observance should cease to be 40
grotesquely at odds with the Character
OF the day that follows, from which
1t derives its name.
