GLENDALE
HallOnS'en

Halloween was not celebrated, IN
the usual manner as it was In years
gone by. The young people don't
seem to take the same delight in
making themselves comical and
grotesque as they used to do. There
were very few ON the streets Friday
evening. We suppose they had gone
to other nearby towns, where cele-
bratiOns we're to be held. The young
people of the present age. seem to
have lost that love for innocent fun
which prevailed to q large extent
years ago. The writer remembers
when the young ladies and men, al
so the girls and boys and sometimes
Joined by the older women and men
dressed in all kinds of costumes. us
cd to parade the streets headed by
brass band. Have we lost all our in
terest In those things which help to
Keep the town on the map? But It
seems that times have changed.
Young people don't seem to care for
those things which used to interest
their mothers and fathers. They say
it is too slow. Perhaps so, but many
of them would be better Oft if they
would follow into the footsteps,
which characterized the lives of the
people who lived before the fast
age, which now prevails at the pres
ent time the doings of the younger
set. They seem to have lost all love
for innocent pleasure, but cry out
for those things of faster nature
which from a worldly standpoint
does not elevate but degrades those
who take part in it.
Autumn
This is the time of yoar when the
trees take on their most handsome
appearance. While the leaves arc
falling to the ground it has not as
yet changed the appearance Of the
trees of the forest and they still
show a scene of matchless beauty /
The colors shown as the trees pre-
pare to enter the dormant state, is
one that is only matched by the
rainbow as it displays its beauty on
a summer eve. Nature is a wonder
full teacher. What panorama OF
magnificence it is constantly un-
folding before the human eye Are
we as thankful as we should be?
HOusecleaning
This is a critical time among the
ladies of any community. Twice
each year. spring and fall, the
house must be turned upside down,
and in consequences things become
in such a chaotic condition that 1t Is
impossible to find what you need
Furniture must be shifted up
stairs, the bedsteads must occupy
new positions, sideboards and wash
stands must be moved to make
things look right Clothes must be
moved from one place to another
and the man who on Sunday morn
ing can come out with the right RIG
on deserves a. medal Down on the
first floor. the same conditions exist.
The davenport is moved to. another
corner--the writing desk chairs arc
moved about until YOU hardly know
where you are, and the. man who
mixes UP with the bootleg stuff and
tries to find the settee or davenport
viii. find himself buttins tho walls.
But we cannot do without the la
dies: they are the life Of the home;
if they do at times try our patience
we will have to grin and bear it.
