burning. As the game progresses, the
scene is vastly increased in dramatic
interest by the addition of a handful
of salt to the burning alcohol. The
effect is to change the color of the
flame. All other lights in the rooms
are extinguished, and the light from
the bowl lends a greenish glare to ev
ery object. Nothing so near a Walpur
gis scene could be produced in a draw
ing room.”
I am quite sure many of you enjoy
ed the innocent pleasure of some spe
cial Hallowe’en party, and think you
ought to have written us about it,
don’t you? Remember, I am needing
your letters to cheer me while the
lights burn low and I watch by the
bed of my suffering mother.
Our department ought to be crowded
with bright, newsy letters every week.
It is your privilege, your opportunity,
don’t let it pass you by unused. Each
of you can help to furnish pure inter
esting, high toned reading for the
thousands of young people who gath
er about The Golden Age hearth-stone
each week, and such a privilege plays
no small part in the moulding of char
acter and shaping the destinies of the
men and women of the future.
Don’t think “I ani going to wribe'to
the Home Circle, about this or that
experience, plan or dream,” and post
pone the “doing” till “tomorrow.” We
need your thoughts today.

HALLOWE’EN.
Upon that night when Fairies light
On Cassillis Downans dance,
Or owre the lays, in splendid blaze,
On sprightly coursers prance;
Or for Colean the rout is ta’en,
Beneath the moon’s pale beams;
There, up the Cove, to stray and rove
Amang the rocks and streams
To sport that night;
Amang the bonie, winding banks,
Where Doon rins, wimplin, clear,
Where Bruce ance rul’d the martial
ranks,
An shaeok his Carrick sprea,
Some merry, friendly, countra folks,
Together did convene,
To burn their nits, an’ pou their
stocks,
An’ haud their Hallowe’en
Fu’ blythe that night
The beautiful affair of Halowe’en
night brought back to memeory all
the old stories of ghosts, witches,
black cats and other objects mysteri
ous with which Hallowe’en has been
intimately associated since ancient
times.
The dim lights, the fortune telling,
the uncanny figures appearing in the
most unexpected places, the Hal
lowe’en games and customs were all
like an echo from the far past and
through all rang the self same merri
ment felt by that prince of poets Rob
