HALLOWEEN

"The goblins will get you if you dom
watch out" Thursday is Halloween !;
the night when ghosts, and uncanny
elves are round about, when grinning
jack-o'- Lanterns gaze at you from
every side; when spooky goblins walk
about and the house resounds with
spirits rapping on the windows. All
is weird and startling and you jump
at every sound which is a great joy
to the small boy who is probably
watching you from the outside. 1t is
this night that the same small boy gets
in his work by perpetrating his an
nual jokes and getting even with the
world in general. Soaping windows,
turning over lawn seats, cutting down
clothes lines and numerous other
pranks constitute the nights program
and it is a glorious satisfaction to the
boy after being sungly slowed away
in bed to feel that all these awful
jokes have been successfully accom-
plished and that he has come it, over
everybody. We know the feeling for
we have celebrated Halloween our
selves. Gh0Stly parties and weird en-
tertainments are usually a social feat
ure of Halloween but owing to the
prevailing epidemic all social gather
ings are debarred. We imagine, how
ever, that the ghosts will roam as u.s.
ual and that the youngsters will pat
ter up and down the street in the same
old way.
