For a Halloween Party

Halloween with all its fun and mys-
ticism will soon be here, and even
though there should be no public de-
monstration, there will be numerous
parties and suppers and pleasures ga
lore.
Charms and old tricks will be tested,
and probably some new ones.
The Three Dishes is one Of the old
est charms. Have three dishes. one
empty one filled with clear water one
with muddy. The candidate is blind
folded, the dishes shifted about and
the finger circles three times over the
dish before descending into IL. The
empty dish means no marriage, the
clear water a happy one and the mud
dy a troubled one. These are the old.
old charms which our great grandma
theirs tried before us. There are some
modern ones equally as interesting. The
faggOt charm is an interesting one
Have someone dressed in white with
features concealed stand with bundle
OF faggots concealed. Fastened TO each
faggot is an article which tells some
of the characteristics of the future hus-
band or wife. The guest draws the fag-
got blindfolded. For instance a small
bottle will indicate a physician a bit
of goods with q needle a tailor, a book
an author, a roll Of music a musician.
etc.
The Halloween pie can take the
place of the luc6y cake containing a
penny. ring and thimble For the pie
have a tub filled with sawdust and all
low each guest TO take a spoonful In
the pie bury little rolls of stiff paper
containing verse describing ones fu-
ture mate. or tie small objects indi-
cative OF ones future fate to ribbons
or strings and let each guest pull rib
bon.
A fake supper, a ghost party, n barn
dance, hay wagon ride any OF these
are suitable for Halloween entertain
lments.
AS a change from bobbing for APP
pies, try peanut jab, providing as many
deep dishes of water as there are cou-
lples Place the dishes on small card
tables and on top OF each set a dozer
peanuts floating, provide each individ-
lual with a hatpin and when the game
lis called, each person proceeds to jat
the nuts, endeavoring to land them In
the dish provided, without touch
ling the nuts with the fingers. A very
funny stunt" is to bob for pennies in
a pan of -four with the hands clasped
behind one.
It win be very much in keeping Will
the spirit OF the evening if one of tho
company is a legerdemainist who car
perform weird, mysterious and magica
feats and will show some of his skill.
A very novel idea for "a Halloween
party is grandmother's family album
since it is the night when pictures are
said to come down from the wall an,
talk. The hostess might carry a huge
bouquet of chestnuts fastened to wire
and tied with green ribbons. Th
guests. as living pictures. shoul'
represent old photographs. wearing
clothes and hats in the style OF from
twenty to fifty years ago. following
carefully the detail of hair dressing
etc. in a photograph which the hostes
must display in a conspicuous plac
E for comparison. See If the statemer
+ is true that True love is like ghost
e which everybody talks about and fe
2 have seen"

not assist women on and off trains, there
by avoiding soiling their white shirtwaists
with their necessarily grimy hands. The
order was appreciated and now comes an
other which is just as sensible.
It is what the nrainmen call the ''ladics'
glove" order. and was issued by Charles
A. Beach. superintendent of the New
York division
II requires that each trainman shall so

with which he shall wipe the iron hand

The object Is TO keep the rails clean

they get wet and grimy, SO that pas
