HALLOWEEN PARTY
AT ST. PHILLIPS SCHOOL

There will be Halloween party at
the ST. Phillips school house on Friday
night, October 26, for the benefit OF
the school and there will be fun By
the bushel and something to eat and
it will do you good to go out and meet
the other folk who will be there. The
teachers and patrons of the school ex-
tend a cordial invitation to every one
to attend.
Halloween eve, or All Hallow Eve,
the night of october 81, the eve OF
All Saints Day, which is November l,
is not observed as it was in the days
gone. Wherever it is observed 1t is
devoted to sports and games princi-
pally, though in this section we do
not hear as much of it as we once did.
IL some places it was known as "Nut-
crack Night" The nuts are not only
cracked and eaten but are made the
means of vaticination in love affairs.
Bobbie Burns says:
"The old guidwife's well-hoordit nlts
Are round and round divided,
IN many lads and lassies' fates
Are there that night decided"
Fates of lads and lassies may be de-
cided at good old St. Phillips next
Friday night, and it may be yours, and
therefore be sure to go out and help
the fates along.
