All Halloween. October 31. seems

Witches are supposed to ride across the sky on their broom-sticks with their black cats behind them. while tricky sprites and elvds of all kinds are abroad to wreak mis- chief. The wise old owl slits an his tree and views the sights wailing “Who-o-oo!" in the darkness. Bonfires, crackling nuts. apple- bobbing in a tub of water, and other harmless pranks are old Eng- li'sh customs to mark the night. Styles in other things may come and styles may go, but the symbols of Halloween are synonyms for’ fun and light-hearted friendliness wnlch apparently nothing can replace.

The Halloweken h-ss been observ- ed in its present form since long before grandfather was a boy. It ls doubtful. however. whether many people really know anything about this time-honored occasion. Long familiarity has perhaps obscured the significance of the mystic ‘iot- lfs which find their way year after year into Halloween cards and decorations and whose ori- gin long antedates Christianity tt- self.

Halloween 8r All Hallows’ Eve, was the name given in medieval England to the thirty-first of Oct- ober as the vigil of Hallowrnas, or All Saints’ Day. but, the attendant ceremonies traditionally enacted on the eve of this Christian festival trace their origin back to the pagan rituals of the Druids. the religi- order of the prehistoric Celts. Take for instance two of the chief char- acteristics of Halloween-the tl-ght- lng of bonfires and the belief that of all nights in the year, this is the one when ghosts and witches wander abroad. About the first of November the Druids held their great autumn festival, the central feature of which was the lighting of fires i-n honor of the sun god as a token of thanksgiving for the harvest and the propltlation for bountiful harvest: to come. A: this time of the year the harvest is in, the “frost la on the pumpkin and the fodder‘: in the shock," so HQIWWFEH may also be celebrated

A further Druidic belief held that one the eve of this festival Saman the dark lord of death, called to- gether the wicked souls that within the past twelve months had been condemned to inhabit the ‘iodine of animals. Incidentally, the cat, in ancient pagan religion was the animal most frequently regarded as the incarnation of the human soul.

This ll usually the one night of all the month when James is left to follow his own sweet will. For tonight was Aid night when the ladies interested assembled tn the veatry of the old Kirk at the corner, Their various home cares and labors suspended for the time. they had come valiantly through the coolness and queer fog that had returned on the wings of night to spend this hour together. Thick and close the greynesa loomed in a bank ahead to make motoring a hazardous mode of tra- velling and back scat drivers con- tent to be praycrfully si-leni nn the way. "Sce that you do your part to spread the gospel to every nation" our old minister in the church at home used to say,

So down the years my part seems to have been cont-ain- ed in such gatherings as W‘: ltﬂfl this evening. where women front busy farmcteads or city homes meet together to do what they can to further the i-tteal.

But James loot- loose wandered only as far as the house across the lane. "You see. Ellen" he will say of such an oc- casion “a fellow is much too tired

The apples and nuts without which no modern Hallowe'en party can be successful also have |l'l in- volved genealogy, tracing their de- cent from the ancient Roman Festlvnl of Pomona, goddess of plenty. observed November 1. There the nuts and aipples were symbols representing the winter store of fruits and played an important part in the rites. In time the roasting of nuts and the sport known as "apple-ducking" - attempting to seize with the teeth an apple tloat- lng tn a tub of water - persisted on October thirty-first as the uni- versal occupation of young folk in England in the Middle Ages.

As for the jack-if-lanterns -- of course it would not be Hallowe’en without them pumpkins, to- gether with nuts and apples. nad a connotation of harvest plenty in the English festival, and thc light- ed fllces go back again to the pro-Christian era when grotesque carved figures and firey torches were used to frlrghten away evil spirits,

Everybody who is young in heart loves to dress up and Hallowden is a fine time to do it. The simplest party becomes an event, when we have special costumes to wear. And why shouldn't it, since in our dull, everyday world of work there is often too little simple, whole- hearted and wholesome fun? Both

BLUE-WHITE GEM FAR FROM COMMON

Did you know that only one of about every ‘thousand diamond! possesses an actual bluish body colour? That‘s why the American Gem Society frowns upon tho term "blue-white" when referrlnl to the diamond. The blue-white legend may be acounted for by the fact that all diumonds- break up white light into the rainbow colours of-the spectrum thus giv- ing forth flashes in reflected light. Consequently the American Gem Society tells when you ex-
