Quotes about Halloween

part of ourselves out to play.

more than half the houses wear an acknowledgement of Halloween -
and nothing about Halloween is NOT outrageous.

in every pursuit or avocation,
to secure an adviser in a sensible woman.

will have a sensitive regard for your character, honor, repute.
She will seldom counsel you to do a shabby thing:
for a woman friend always desires to be proud of you.
