before freight carrying ships would

snapdraaon and Halloween.

Many of our Halloween customs
come TO us from England and Scotland,
and most popular one is called the
''Snapdragon." which is brought In
when refreshments are served, gen.
orally at the last before leaving the
table. The lights are all turned out
and the platter containing the snap
dragon is brought in. Why it is thus
named know not, but it is made this
way: Place large table raisins quite
closely and evenly ON the platter, sprin-
kle with salt and cover with good al
rohol. Just before bringing in light
the alcohol and Il most ghastly green
ish white light will be the result. Pass
it around the table. and each guest Is
to try TO grab raisin from the fame.
Now, don't ask me why and wherefore
regarding this strange custom, for |

that the public must be controlled
When at length he forbade any express
sions of approval or disapproval on the
part of his public only the court and
the Jena students continued to attend
the theater.
The crash came when Duke Karl Au-

Beau 6rummel's Dress.

Evidently We must not believe all
that we have read of Beau Brummel.
There We're stories that he appeared in
"a dove colored coat and white satin
ineXpressibles;' that it took two art.
lists TO make his gloves. n special ex-
pert being assigned TO the thumbs. and
that he had three hairdressers who spe-
cialiZed so to speak. on the different
parts Of his head. All these stories. 1t
seems. are fiction. according to Leon II.
Vincent's "Dandies and Men of Let.
ters:"
"Simplicity and unobtrusive elegance
We're his ideals. To attract notice by
conspicuousness in dress was in his
opinion the most mortifying expert
ence that gentleman could have.
Byron told Leigh Hunt that there was
nothing remarkable in Brummel's
dress except certain exquisite pro-
priety. From which it may be inferred
that his reforms were OF a sensible
sort"
