TIE FEAST OF PUMPKINS.

A pretty variation on the regular Char
vest home" festival WIS made last year
by the young people Of n church in one of
our smaller cities. They called it "'rhe
Feast of Pumpkins" and that useful and
cheerful vegetable formed the basis OF
the whole affair. The hall was decorated
with two shades of yellow buntng-the
deep ornnge-yellow of the pumpkin and
the lighter yellow of the Hubbard squash.
Where the bunting was festooned it was
caught up with punches of corn. Tho
husks were torn open or turned back
showing the yellow grain on the cob. The
Mattresses were all dressed in yellow,
with conventionalized squash flower
made of tissue paper in their hair instead
OF cap. At intervals were great Jack
o-lanterns" made of the pumpkins with
electric lights inside instead of the tradi.
tional candle. The tables were ornament
ed with pumpkins followed out so as tn
form great bowls. These were filled with
autumn leaves and flowers. The water
for these decorations was put in a bowl
which was placed inside the pumpkin.
