Cassedy, corresponding sec- retary, have just returned from their visit west. They visited Omaha, Chicago, Evans- ton and Dayton, and, it is understood, were the recipients of innumerable courtesies from various organizations of women and from distinguished individuals who are in deepest sympathy with the methods and spirit which pervade the work of the Con- gress of Mothers.

DAY OF ALL HALLOWS The Occasion When Ghosts, Hob- goblins and Fairies Abound. CONSPICUOUS FOR SIGNS AND OMENS Usages of Past Ages Observed by Present Generation. — GAMES MOST POPULAR ——— ee Halloween, the vigil of All Hallows or All Saints’ day, with all its pretty customs and superstitions, is here, and tonight Wash- ington and all the country will be in the hands of dreadful ghosts and spirits of good nd ill. The ubiquitous small boy enters Tgely into the make-up of the latter class, and this evening he will be abroad in all his mischievous glory; but the police gob- lin will get him if he isn’t careful, for the blue-coated street gods have yowed to un- ceremoniously “run in” all the youngsters caught in the act of spoiling pedestrians® new fall suits with a coating of fleur ‘or cther injurious articles. This, above all other festivals, is con- sPicuous because of its mysteries and won- derful signs and omens, in which the fin de -ecle denizen declares he does not believe ene bit. In spite of this professed Gisbelief, the observance of the day is still kept up, and, in fact, seems to be growing in popu- larity with each succeeding year. Jt is a time of rejoicing among the gay. young folk, who are always eager to find an op- pertunity for fun and frolic. The country boys have the advantage of their city brothers on this night, as their cpportuni- ties for uncanny pranks are greater and much more effective m the loncsome sur- reundings of a rural homestead. Grinning pumpkin jack o’ lanterns have frightened more old maids, and young ones, too, than in the time required by am in licking the stuffing out of the Spaniards. Popular Usages. Halloween has always been the occasion of certain popular usages in Christian coun- tries, such as the performance 9f spells by young people to discover their future part- ners for life, and certain fireside revelries. as cracking nuts and ducking for apples. Halloween is also thought to be a night when witches, devils and other mischief- making beings are all abroad on their bane- ful midnight errands. The fairies particn- larly are said on this night Ada grand anniversary gathering to decide the fate of their faverites. Out-of-door and indoor games appropriate for the duy have becn nded down from time immemorial. Ducking for apples in a tub of water is as much a part of Halloween observance as the firecracker is of Fourth of July cele- bration; the relation is practically the same. ‘There js nothing to compare with the feel- ing of certainty, as, on bended knee, you tean-over the tub and your teeth approach the bobbing apple floating with many dips and courtesies before you. Then comes the distraeting bob with which it ducks lightly away at the first touch, leaving the hunter minus his balance and plus a goodly mouth- ful of water ‘The second dive’ follows, when every bit of pluck and obstinacy has been aroused, and one is determined not to be beaten by a silly litle apple. This 4s a rash determination and 1s usually follow- ed by a number of dives into the water, with little success. But somehow one doesn’t mind the unpleasant wetness if at the end ot his fight he has an apple to show for the pains. The best way to get the covet- ed apple is to pursue your prey gently to the bottom of the tub, where you have it sure. The Lever's Initial. One can tell the initial of his or her fu- ture love by paring an apple and throwing the peeling over the shoulder, when it will coil itself into the initial of some one you have in mind. Apple seeds named for two Jovers and stuck on each eyelid will indi- cate by their staying qualities which one may be considered the more steadfast. Then there are the tricks with the nuts, for which one must have an open fire and which are generally practiced by young folks past the apple-bobbing age. The nuts are placed before the fir lifferent lovers. If one burs' shows that jover will prc e that burn steadily will be true and faithful. If two placed side by side and named for some young couple, catch fire and burn together, then those two people will be married “and live happily ever after.” All have doubtless heard of the looking- glass charm, where a maiden cating an apple before a mirror on this mystic night will see appearing ‘in the glass before her the face of her future husband, and, after alking downstairs backward, she may turn the bottom and meet his shadow face to amed for or pops away re untrue, but fa Charm of the Plates. ‘The charm of the plates is interesting. Take three plates and fill one with clean water, one with dirty water and one with nothing at all. Then lead the boys and girls before them blindfolded, turn them around and tell them to stick their fingers into a plate. If they touch the clear water they will marry a maiden or an old bache- lor, as the case may be: if the dirty water, a widow or widower: if the empty plate, they will not marry anybody at all. Again, take a wedding ring, tie it to a string and swing it slowly around over a glass of water, saying over the alphabet, and when it hits, the letter you are saying then will be the first letter of your sweet- heart's name. f One rather pretty and quite simple game is to try to throw an apple through a horse shoe. if the apple goes through you will be lucky all the year, but if it misses hard times are in store. Another eld English charm was to wet a shirt sleeve and hang it by the fire, when at midnight the wraith of the future hus- band or wife will come in and turn it around. Test With Flour. Among the games in which all ages can join is the flour game. A bowl is filled with flour, packing it down so that it can be turned out on a plate and retain its form. For this purpose pastry flour will be found best. When turned out a wed- ding ring should be inserted vertically on the top of the mold. The dish fs then placed on a small table in the center of the room, the guests forming in line about it. A knife is handed to the leader, who is directed to cut off a thin slice, -which erumbies into dust. The knife is then hand- ed to the next in line. The guest who is cutting when the ring finally falls is doom- ed to take it out of the flour with his teeth. If this dispensation descends upon a gen- tleman with mustache or beard the gloom on his countenance is more than counter- balanced by the merriment evidenced by the spectators. Other Games. A peanut hunt is always enjoyed by the children, while even siald elders are not above joiaing in the competitive scramble. The nuts are previously hidden in every conceivable place in the rooms to which the guests have ace Each person is then furnished with a small paper bag, the doors are thrown open, and the fun begins. A prize, of course, goes to the finder of the greatest number, and the prize on Hallow- een night should be a jack-o'-lantern. The dropping of melted lead into a tub of water is supposed to give the clew to the occupation of the future husband cr wife. If, to the excited imagination, the hot lead curls into a pen or ink bottle, an author fc the future companion prophesied. Shears show a tallor or dressmaker, a spade a farmer, a coin a merchant and a pill or saddlebag a doctor. In all these games it will pot be at ail difficult for the one in- voking the charm to believe that fate an- swers as desired. Apples, of course, offer great facitities for divinaticn. Carefully in one long strip and thrown over the shouléer, the letter formed wiil show the initial of the coming fate, while apple seeds, named for two lovers and stuck on each eyelid, will indicate by thetr staying qualities which one may be considered the more steadfast.
