NNopyrlEht. 1919, by Mrs. NJ. n. WILSON,
An old Celtic legend tells US that the
COLLINS and fairies roam abroad Hal
loween night and that those whose
hearts are full OF evil intent arouse
the ire OF the good fairies. who will
cast "A spell Of evil over the wicked
ones for another year
We are also Informed that witches
and ghosts roam freely over the earth
this night, and to insure their good
wishes various charms are used. The
maid who would know her future lord
and master must just before the magic
hour OF midnight go alone to the yard
and there she will find upon a bench or
table large pan or pail Of water into
which she must look, while she holds
candle aloft-and there she will see
the features Of her true love.
Another charm for this all-mystic
night is to pare an apple in one piece
left shoulder. When it falls on the
floor 1t will form the initial OF tho
chosen ones name.
Many games are the feature OF this
evening. and the housewife may deco
rate the house with corn stalks and
autumn foliage. And by all means
Guests may be masked, but when the
refreshments are to be served have IT
arranged SO that they will unmask at
n given signal.
