this come true the seeds must be eat
en-, regardless of appendicitis.
An old game something like beam
bags is played on Halloween by
placing three followed pumpkins in a
row at one end of the room and throw
ing walnuts into them. Each player is
given a walnut. which contains dirty
water, clean water and no water at all
The players do not know which is
which but if he or she throws into the
dirty-water pumpkin their life partner
will be poor; if the nut falls into the
one with clean water, a rich mate
awaits the player; and if it falls into
the pumpkin with no water at all the
person who threw it is doomed to
life of single blessedness. In the event
that none of the pumpkins is hit, sec
ond and third trials are given. Failing
to hit a pumpkin in three trials play
er is bound to have a mysterious and
very eventful life.
A strong imagination is necessary
for the girl who attempts, by a Hal
lowe'en method, to see the face of her
future husband. Our grandmothers
used to say that if they went into a
dark room on Halloween and, letting
fall their hair about their shoulders,
brushed it while standing before a mir
ror repeating the Lords prayer back
wards, they would see their future
husbands face. The up-to-date girl
wants some more substantial evidence.
For those who scorn the mirror there is
is another choice. A four-leaved clover
pinned on the door on Halloween is
sure to make the first man who enters
by that door on the following day the
husband of the girl who pinned it
there.

ternoon occasions-are entirely in dap
hanous materials. In other words, you
can look through them, so to speak,
but after the eye has pierced the out
side loneliness, it falls upon a silk
lining solidly and madly trimmed.
For instance, a wonderful gown of
bright blue chiffon (the blueing shade)
hung over a petticoat just the color
of the sea, bands of shaded blue and
green forming a deep bias foot border.
These glinted and shaded through a
daylight" border on the chiffon skirt,
huge open roses made of green and
blue embroideries and outlined with
changeable sequins.
Another very unusual frock was of
coffee brown chiffon, with few vast
ovals of blonde lace in the same shade
inclosing a rose half red, half brown,
painted on the chiffon. Borders of the
brown blonde decked the cape collar
of the blouse bodice, which showed
four of the lace framed pictures. Still
another radiant chiffon frock was in
black and white-the smoky trails of
the design fading to the palest gray.
Narrow edges of brown sable orna-
mented this loneliness, which showed
insets of white blonde and a painted
stock and girdle of pink and white
pompadour silk.
Everywhere one sees these charming
silks used for the touching up of more
somber materials, though only the least
bit of them is brought in when they
are employed as trimming. Again
there will be an entire jacket in some
gaily founced silk. the model taking
the shape of the close-fitting Louis de-
signs. One such in pale blue with
MAGENTA rosebuds accompanied a skirt
in the new brownish-yellow lace.
A trained lace skirt is almost a ne
cessity this winter, if one would follow
the ultra fads of the season, and with
their look of luxury they create an ef-
feet Of the most delicate feminity.
The pelerine shoulder capes are also
softening in tendency, and the chenille
fringes used on some of the frocks de-
hciously old-timey.
Indeed with our flowing and puffed
sleeves, our tippets and blonde laces
1t looks as If we are going back to the
fashions of 1880. The side curl we have
already embraced, and hats only need
to be smaller to suggest in many cases
the fiat plates of the long ago.
But to return to the subject in hand,
the Horse Show, which pageant of
sport and fashion will soon begin Ac-
cordlng to the best people, the makers
Tor the rich and lofty, there is to be
marked difference between the af-
ternoon and evening toilettes. These
last VIII run to what the French call
clair effects, something light in color
or pure white. with the restriction that
in no case will any sort of a decolle-
tage be allowed. That is to say bv
good taste, for of course the Horse
Show authorities won't put you out
II you happen to appear with an inch
or two of bare neck. Then sleeves
must be long, and elbow length gloves
must cover every speck of the lower
