HALLOWE'EN

On Hallowe'en 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 enemies and
they reward their true friends with many blessings.

It 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 partner. In those good old days of long
ago, the lad and lassie spent a pleasant evening trying all the lucky
spells to insure them success in their love affairs
