Mrs. Douglass Accident.

The recent accident. to Mrs. George Will

Germ to her many friends in this city. for
there Was an uncertainty as to the extent
of her injuries and their result. The Star.
however, is now in receipt of the following
letter from Mr.. Douglass, written from
Tuxedo Park, which will relieve great
deal of anxiety:
"As the news of Mrs. Douglass accident
got into the newspapers, l find myself I'M

press:ons IL avail myself of the columns

was thrown from her surrey two days ago.
Her head was cut; she was bruised and
badly shaken; but she is rapidly recovering;
and 1t now seems unlikely that she will
sustain any serious injury Or Disagreement.
She hopes to be out again in a few days.

ST. Paul, Kansas City and Chicago
have all recently had occasion TO dis

The Kansas City and St. Paul view OF

with successful and satisfactory results
the teacher mast hold II as a primary
consideration and make other matters
subordinate to her calling. II is scrace-
~ possible for a woman with a family

Ten special cars stand waiting on the
side tracks of the big railroad stations,
ten great country houses are alive with
the steps of hurrying servants, ten par
ties of merry-makerS are packing
trunks and storing away armsfu OF
old finery. Next Thursday night All
Hallow Even, there will be ten of the
largest English house parties ever
known in this country.
In England the Halloween house par
ty is an institution like our Thanks
giving tits planned from year to year,
and each celebration is more riotous
than the last. In this country it is less
than a generation since merry-making
at Hallow Even became an established
thing with the grown-up ones.
HARVEST HOME WELCOME.
All ten of the house parties have pro-
grammes prepared in advance for the
celebration of Halloween. They board
the special car, steam away to the coun-
try. are met by coaches and are soon
within the country house. Here Hal
loween is visible the minute they enter
the front portals. A festcon Of apples
green and red, hangs from portal to
portal. The portieres are ripe nuts
strung on cords, the inches are filled
with sheaves of corn and wheat, and at
night lamps from the inside OF hollow
ed out pumpkins tell that it is the sea-
son of the fall boyle man.
Halloween is divided in its festivities.
In the early part of the evening come
the games and the old-time tricks, and
later come the dances and new tangled
PLAYS. All. young and Old, take part in
all. and this is the reason that the Hal
loween house party is the pleasantest
of the year.
A new cotillion for Halloween is
planned by a celebrated caterer, whose
business 1t is to invent cotillions and
conform his menu card to them. This
dance has six figures, and each is a
Halloween figure. One has ripe cab
hayes for favors, red, white and yellow
tinqed. To each cabbage is tied a
verse of sentiment, and, as the cabbages
are grabbed through a paper screen by
the young women, the full mysticlty on
fate is attached to the selection.
When the men choose their fayors
thew grab through another screen the
lunches of grass lettuce, water cress,
early cabbage and red beet tops. These,

too, convey an envelope with a send-
ment inside, carefully prepared accord
ing to the significance Of the vegetable,
and so the merry ball is kept rolling.
The caterer for weeks before is busy
selecting small specimens of the vege-
table and grass, and in the country the
gardener has them marked from early
in the season.
MARLBOROUGH HALLOWEEN.
In the English country houses the
older games are still played, though lit
tie later touches are given TO them.
Depedene, the country house of Lady
Beresford, is filled up now with merry
party of guests who are enjoying their
last entertainment in this country
place. Depedene is to be sold by Lord
Frances Hope, the owner, and cut up
into building lots. Lady Beresford sur
renders her long lease for over $1,000
consideration, but in the few weeks left
she will have one final country house
party that will leave the home deep in
the memory of those who have enjoyed
her hospitality there, even though she
may have to hold her celebration be-
fore Halloween.
Last year her Halloween favors cost
$4,000. There were only twenty or
them, but they were of solid gold set
with Jewels. Onevery appropriate Hal
loween favor, given at Depednne, was
