Hallowe'en
...
'
Cflpid
will
step
out
of
his
Valentine
setting
today
to
take
part
in
the
nocturnal
shenanigans
of
a
1944
Hallowe'en.
With
a
war-dampener
on
such
pranks
as
carrying
off
the
back
door
steps
and
unhinging
the
garden
gate,
ancient
Hallowe'en
customs
on
the
supernatural
and
romantic
side
are
being
revived
at
house
parties
and
community
celebrations
in
Canada
to
take
the
place
of
harem-scarum
activities
in
prewar
years.
Some
of
the
superstitions
in
which
Cupid
has
a
long-forgotten
part
date
back
hundreds
of
years.
The
modern
miss
who
stands
before
a
mirror
tonight
by
candle
light,
munching
an
apple
and
brushing
her
hair,
will,
if
stories
of
great-grandmother's
day
hold
true,
catch
a
glimpse
of
her
future
husband.
rl
he
party-goer
with
an
eye
for
her
future
mate,
may
observe
another
century-old
ceremony
by
tossing
a
ball
of
blue
yarn
out
the
window,
one
end
wound
about
her
hand.
The
wind
will
sigh
her
lover's
name,
so
the
tale
goes,
and
the
mysterious
male
in
question
will
catch
the
other
end
of
the
yarn.
A
blind-folded
youth
standing
before
three
bowls
on&
filled
with
clear
water,
one
with
dirty
water,
and
a
third
empty
may
learn
something
about
his
future
nvife.
If
he
touches
the
clear
water
his
wife
will.be
a
maid,
the
dirty
water
signifies
marriage
to
a
widow
and
the
empty
dish
means
he
will
be
a
bachelor.

Traditions
of
romance,
howjgyer,
had
little
to
do
with
the
Hallowe'en
of
the
Aittients.
Early
Christians,
set
aside
dates
to
venerate
every
martyr
for
Christ,
and
these
days
later
were
'grouped
in
one
festival
Hallowmas
or
All
Saints'
Day
celebrated
after
the
8th
century
on
November
1.
Celebrants
kept
vigil
on
the
night
before
the
festival,
and
Oct.

thus
became
known
on
the
church,
calendar.

in

is
near
accomplishment
with
the
announcement
by
Ottawa
that
the
Department
of
Indian
Affairs
is
taking
over
for
that
purpose
that
large
hospital
at
Miller
Bay
on
the
other
side
of
Kaien
Island
which
was
built
for
the
Royal
Canadian
Air
Force
but
which,
owing
to
the
changed
tide
of
war
in
the
Pacific,
was
not
needed.
The
decision
of
the
Department
to
establish
the
Indian
hospital
here
is
in
line
with
a
new
policv
of
ministering
to
the
health

and
providing
hospitalization
for
the
Indians.
The
Miller

hospital
is
a
commodious
estab-
lishment
and
its
use
as
an
institution
of
this
kind
will
relieve

this

to
commit
itself

but
did
not
undertake
to
do
all
possible
towards
avoiding
strikes,
the
