Sumo kindle, couthlc, uldo by side, And burn thcglthcr trimly Somo start awn' wl' auuey pride, And Jump out owro tho chlmly, Vu' high ihat night. Tho charm referred to Is ono of tho oldest of the spoils, "tried nnd tmo." for testing tho constancy of one's sweetheart. Two nuts aro placed about thrco Inches apart on tho bars of thq grnto or on the stove, ono being for tho fair questioner, tho other for nor sweetheart. If his Jump or crack, ho 1b fickle, but if both nuts cuddlo up to each othor and burn brightly, sldo by sldo, tho man and maid will marry and bo happy over after. Sometimes threo nu(n are used, ono representing tho girl, tho othcrn two rival suitors.

So thoy say. Another way to got a vlow of your husband or wlfo-to-bo 1b to go to bed on Hallowe'en with a glass of water, In which a small silver of wood has been placed, standing on your table by your bedside. In tho night you will dream of fulling from a bridge into a river, nnd of being rescued by your futuro husband, whom you will see as distinctly as though vloucd with wak ing eyes. . Or. wet n shirt Blcovo, hang It up to the fire to dry and llo lu bed watch ing it till mldnfsht"vlf6n tho appari tion of your future llfo partner will como In and turn tho slcovc. An up-to-dato Hallowe'en test Is to hang up ribbons representing tho nrl oils colleges. Tho girls are blindfold ed nnd each picks nut a ribbon, ho colors of which will Indicate tho olnia mntor of the husband-to-be. This trick could bo carried out with curds painted in wnter colors with tho vari ous collcgo colors or names. Children born on Hallowe'en aro said to bo able to hco and converse with fairies, wltchos and othor supor 'natural beings. 8lr Walter Pcott makes uso of this idea in "Tho Mon astery." If on this evening you shake hands with n very blond man you will havo a proposal but not necessarily from tho blond beforo tho bells shall havo rung in the now your. If your lover should, under thn po tency of tho magic evening, propose marrlago on this night, let him bind you at onco by ll'log.a bluo ribbon up on your wedding ring finger that loth ho and you may bo truo. It might bo well when dressing for tho evening to bcq (hut you havo somowhero about your person tho rcqulslto bit of ribbon. Just nt midnight and you must by no means rctlro beforo that magic hour on tho 31st of October llston for tho sound of bells from tho nearest church stooplo (if thcro aro nono in your neighborhood you can't do this). Should you hear a full nnd distinct pcnl, begin on your trousseau; but if thoro bo u dull and muffled sound, pos sess your soul lu patience for another yeur. By the way, havo you a four-lvavcd clover? It doesn't matter if It bo a nP there is much sour crtom on hand, put It In nn egg I beater and whip It Into but ter. Then pat it together, drain off tho buttermilk and wash tho butter In running, cold wnter until it Is sweet and fresh. Salt to taste.
