The Halloween Cat.

A$ @AoAAS"S -" SoNs
The Druids, priests of the Celts
centuries before Christ came, be-
lieved that on the last night of the
old year October 3l) the lord of
death gathered together the souls
of all those who had died in the
passing year and had been con-
demned to live in the bodies of ami
mails, to decree what forms they
should inhabit for the next IL
months. He could be coaxed to
give lighter sentences by gifts and
prayers. An animal sacred to the
Druids was the cat.
English Halloween Customs.
In tub float stemless apples, to
be seized by the teeth of him de-
sirous Of having his love returned.
If he is successful in bringing up
the apple without using his hands,
his love affair will end happily.
An apple is peeled all in one piece,
and the pairing swung three times
round the head and dropped be-
hind the left shoulder. 1t it
does not break, and is looked at
over the shoulder, it forms the mi
tial Of the true sweetheart's name.
In America.
The one who first succeeds in
threading needle as he sits on a
round bottle on the floor, will be
first married.
Twelve candles are lighted and
placed at convenient distances on
the floor in a row. AS the guest
leaps over them, the first he blows
out will indicate his wedding month.
A pair of apple seeds named for
two lovers are stuck on brow or eye
lids. The one which sticks longer
represents the true, and the other
the disloyal sweetheart.
Letters of the alphabet are carved
on pumpkin. Fate guides the hand
of the blindfolded seeker to the fate
full initial which he stabs with pin.
Letters cut out of paper are sprin-
killed. on water in a tub. They form
groups from which any one with i'm
agination may spell out names.
Tiny candles are lighted and
placed in nut shells, then put adrift
in a tub of water. Their behavior
is significant. If they cling to the
side, their namesakes will lead a
quiet life. Some will float together.
Some will collide and others will
bear steadily forward. Needles may
also be named and put afloat in a
dish of water. Those which cling
side by side are lovers.
Black and yellow are favorite col
ors for decorations; yellow for the
ripe fruit and grain of the season,
and black for the art of magic. Corn
stalks and pumpkins are used pro-
fusely. .....

Brown Furs Lead.
Brown furs, any furrier will tell
you, are the autumn demand. Small
fisher neckpieces have replaced fox
and little scarfs of sable and mink
make up the cost in srnartness what
they discard in size.
No Depth of Fur Trimmings.
Occasionally one reads that fewer
fur trimmings are worn this year
than last and yet careful examina-
ton OF the merchandise even in the
Smartest shops seem to contradict
this statement.
1t is, of course, too early to take
into consideration what smart
women will actually wear. Unless
one counts occasionally-worn motor
coats, there has been no reason yet
for appearing in fur trimmed gar
ments. Summer furs were of little
Importance this season. but for all
that the small animal scarfs have
had continued recognition. AT
races and even in town one is very
apt to see well-clad women wearing
something of peltry around their
threats. e..

Advice to the Lovelorn
Loves Comes Unbidden and, "To Love or Not We Are
No More Free Than the Ripple to Rise and
Leave the Sea-"
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

We do not care for anything very
elaborate.
Please answer through The
Omaha Bee.
Thanking you in advance. we are.

Troubles.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
see SO many ask you for advice, SO
l will take a chance asking a thing
or two myself. I'm 10 years old
and have been going with a man Of
22. He has been in France for over
a year. He returned last May,
saying he would come to see me at
once, but put it off, saying he would
come In July, but the date he was to
come l was called to Denver, so l
let him know | was leaving. saying
he should come as soon as l got
back. but then he put it off till the
beginning Of October, but yet never
came-had put it off once more
| He lives in one of the eastern states.
| Do you think should write and tell
| him simply to stay there since he
never can keep promise? Also l
have a sister of 20. She is in love
| with man Of rs. He says he Is d.
| vorced for five months, but many
| have told us he was not divorced
! yet. How could we find out the
, truth and how long must a man be
| divorced before marrying in either
of these three states-Iowa, Mis-
souri, or Kansas? Thanking you
| very much.
BLONDE AND BRUNETTE.
One of several reasons may be
keeping the young man away. First,
he may be short of finances Sec
ond, he may care very little for you.
Do not be hasty in telling him to
stay away. Time solves these prob
lens better than quick tempers.
Your sister should be careful If she
is not certain the man is divorced.
He should show her the decree of
divorce and simplify matters. Send
your question about divorce laws to
| our legal aid department Of The
Bee.
Why Worry?
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
read your advice to Lovelorn"
every evening and / have come to
you for advice. / have been going
with a girl Of IS years for two
years and she always seemed to
love me dearly and always said she
did till about a week ago, when she
went out with one of my boy friends
for a car ride, but did not know
1t till one of my other boy friends
told me, and I was there the next
day and she never said nothing and
seemed to love me like always.
Should I quit her or go to see her
again? Thanking you for advice
would like to see in print soon.
