HALLOWEEN COMING.

In a fortnight Hallowe ZEN win be
here, and already plans are being
made for entertainments that night
the last night of the month. It gets
its name from the fact that it is the
night Cor evening" before All Hal
lowmas, or All Saints Day. For some
hundreds of years, strange costumes,
practices and charms have been in
dulged in on this night, and though
superstition is not SO common as it
used to be, still we may find those
who honestly believe that girl who
will take candle at exactly midnight
and 60 into dark room and look in
to looking glass, will see peering
over her shoulder the face of her flu
ture husband
1t is impossible to trace the origin
of many of these superstitions, and
none of them seems to have any con-
nection with All Saints Day. But
they give unlimited opportunity for
fun at a party, and provide the hos
tess with wide choice in decorations
and program. Black and orange are
usually the colors probably
on account of the orange of the pump
kins Of which the goblin heads are so
often made, by scooping them out and
cutting faces and inserting a lighted
candle SO the boy may carry it out,
60 look through neighbours windows
and scare the little folks insidel These
pumpkins, and witches and black cats
cut from black paper or cloth, the
witches KETTLE and broom, black bats,
witches hats with pointed crowns,
and the wise old owl who ism It afraid
OF the witch or her cat, are the chief
figures used at this season. Ghosts
are also popular, because of the
4 scarys' element.
