In looking over tho history of
Hallowe’en, says Cousin Patsy in
Toledo Blade, I find that the cus
tom of oelebrnt ; ng this day is a
n lio of pagan times and dates
back thousands of years. Accord
ing to one writer, our Haxon an
cest irs believed that the elves
held high carnival on the last
night o.' Oct iber, because, at that
time, the bun god was preparing
t o withdraw his warmth from the
earth. Many weird sights and
sounds are to be expected, as
both good and evil spirits are
loosed for a frolic.
