    There are many customs connected with November's night. It is no harm to practise these customs for amusement, but it is harm to practise them if we take interest in them.
    The customs generally practised are_ making a cake and putting a ring, a nut, and a halfpenny in it. The person who gets the ring is said to be the first to marry.
