ON HALLOWEEN evening the
" good fairies are permitted to
make themselves visible to their
many friends-so the traditions of
Ireland tell US. And the little ones,
as they are called by the romantic
fun-loving Irish nation, play a great
many tricks this night on their enc
mics and they reward their true
friends with many blessings.
1t is truly a wonderful night for
the romantic maiden to delve into
the future and find, or try to find,
her luck when seeking for the
knowledge of her future life part
ner. In those good old days of long
ago the lad and lassie spent pleas
ant evening trying all the lucky
spells to insure them success in their
love affairs for the coming year,
And in the midst of much hilarity
many games are played; there are
bobbing and ducking for apples,
spinning the plate, postoffice, heavy,
heavy, what hangs over and forfeits.
These were some of the old-fash-
ioned ways the boys and girls of
$esteryear passed happy evening.
Other old legends told that this
one night in the year the spooks or
ghosts were permitted to roam the
earth, so that, to escape their notice,
all must go masked-hence our
young folk disguised themselves and
wandered forth from house to house
seeking entertainment, for many in
formal parties were held on this eve
and no one was refused admissions;
each visitor was treated to apples
and nuts, and then he wandered on
his way again.
Let your young folk entertain
their friends with a good old-fash-
ioned Halloween party; let them play
the old games of long ago and then
close to the magic hour of midnight
serve a real old-fashioned Hal
loween supper.

Have corn husks and pumpkins for
the decorations; use autumn leaves,
strung together, for wall decora-
tions. Cover the table with a silence
cloth and then with linen tablecIoth
and place in the center of the table a
new wooden pail filled with cider.
Bank the sides of the pail with. corn
husk, golden ears of corn and au-
tumn leaves.
Now wire the handle so that it will
be in an upright position. Wrap the
handle with yellow tissue paper and
fasten a small jack o lantern made
from a small pumpkin to the handle
so that it will hang in the we'll of
the bucket. Arrange the table in the
usual manner. Serve the cider from
this well during the supper.
Hollow out a medium-sized pump
kin and cut in it a jack o. lantern
and set bowls in the pumpkins to
hold the radishes, pickle and sand
wiches, sugar, etc, and make tiny
