they may go out in parties. Each one
should pull the first stalk he or she
comes across and return with 1t to the
house. According as it is long or short,
thin or thick, so will the future hus-
band or wife of that person be. The
amount of soil clinging to the roots will
show how much fortune the future
partner will possess. If it has been
broken off without any root, then he
won't possess any, but will be poor.
At last the stalks are placed over the
door, each in turn, and the first name
of the first person passing through the
door will be the first name of the person
whom the one making the trial is to
marry.
Another trick is to place three bowls
on the hearth or the table. One is
filled with clean water, one with water
colored with red ink, indigo or some
other simple dye, and one is empty.
Each person is then blindfolded and
advances to the bowls, dipping his hand
in. If he dips his hand in the clean
water he will marry a maid; if he dips
it into colored water he will marry
widow, and if he dips it into the empty
bowl he will not marry at all. 1t IS
also very popular to go around the
square three times with a mouthful of
water and a handful of salt without
spilling a drop of either This is sup
posed to make you see witches, brown
les, etc.
Another way to try the girls fate is
to write their names on pieces of paper
and the names of all the boys that they
know on other pieces Of paper. Each
slip of paper is then wrapped in dough
and a bowl is filled with water into
which the dough pellets are dropped.
Those that pair off have a liking for
each other. They should then be taken
out and unwrapped. the names being
read. When two boys or two girls
names have come together they should
be rewrapped and put back again for
another trial.
A most important part of the Hal
lowe'en feast, is of course. the cake
which on being. .Gut is found to con-
ceal a number Of treasures. The per-
son who gets the ring will be the
first to marry, she who gets the thimble
will be an old maid. The one who re-
ceives the coin will be rich.
In masquerading for Halloween all
sorts of costumes may be used, but it
is attractive to have a number of
should be at least one Bobby Burns at
every Halloween party, several
witches, Scotch lass and a, Scotch
laddie, etc. Grotesque and weird cos
tunes are in order.
If dance is given it is fun to have
a german, even if the affair is not to
be elaborate. Twenty couples are suf-
ficient, or even as few as ten couples
will make a lively affair if all take
part. The idea it to have figures suit
able to the occasion. All the Hal
loween tricks can be used for figures.

"There is no use talking said Mrs.
wimbledon, this room has got to be

They were sitting in the front recep-
tion room as she spoke on their way
upstairs from dinner.
Yes said wimbledon. "1f you give
that progressive euchre party you will
want the house to look nice. Still, still,
perhaps we had better wait until fall"
We'll, DEAR" she said meekly, "if
you think we can't afford it We'll have

She arose and glanced somewhat
critically and sadly about the room.
Wimbledon had unconsciously arisen
and his glance followed that of his wife
Then almost as if by inspiration an inn
pulse came over him and his eye glis-
tened with sudden joy.
His wife was going away for week
and during her absence he would have
it done to surprise her. But his eX-
perience prompted him to find out just
how she would like it.

In the short week that followed-a
week full of joy for Wimbledon in an
ticipation of his wife's delight-the
transformation was completed and the
room exactly as if the lady of the house
had superintended the matter herself.
Wimbledon could scarcely wait the
Homecoming. Finally, however, the
train rolled into the station. Once more
they clasped hands. Wimbledon trembled
with excitement.

They entered the house.
Wimbledon preceded her and stood
dramatically in the door of the recep-

Prepare yourself" he cried proudly.
Mrs. wimbledon entered, gave one
look and burst into tears.
"I shall never forgive you for this!"
she sobbed.
Her dumbfounded husband gazed at
her in amazement.
Never forgive me?" he repeated.
''Why, isn't this just the way you
wanted it?"
Mrs. Wimbledon, partially recovering,
looked at him, in her eyes a whole
world of reproach.

OUR PICNIC
BY Ethel OFT, Artesia, N. M.-Aged IA
Years-Class B

A week or two ago number of girls
and boys my age and over went out on
a picnic. We started about half past
seven and we met at a friends house.
We had three large hay wagons COW
cred with hay, or alfalfa, then over that
was a canvas. We had two mules
hitched on the wagon l was on.
We arrived there about ten o'clock.
We played games and rowed on the lake
and some shot at targets; this did not
join.
BY the lake stands a canning factory
but that is now old and decayed. They
say it was used to can tomatoes. The
famous outlaw, Capt. Kidd, camped
there for quite a while.
Towards dinner a large new canvas
was spread on the grass and a delicious
lunch was displayed. We certainly had
jolly fun at the table and when we
were through we went for a boat ride.
This boats name is EpWorth. 1t Will
hold twelve people very easily.
Others besides myself got on wagon
and we, having song books, we sang
national hymns and darky songs. They
say it sounded very pretty, especially
to the ones on the lake.
This lake is not very deep. 1 have
heard that it was not over fourteen
feet. A great many fish are caught,
but large ones are seldom. Especially
by the shore fish are abundant. A fish
of only few minutes would be enough
for a family. They are very fine, but
being so small, sometimes not over
three or four inches, people are afraid

HOW EDITH MADE A CAKE
BY Inez Smith, covina, caI-Aaed 10
Years-Class c

ICdTS-SIdSS ~
One morning Edith asked the cook to
give her piece of dough to make a
cake. The cook told her to It until
she had made it stiffer. But Edith did
not want to wait.
So when the cook stopped to get more
flour, the naughty girl snatched big
piece of dough and ran away. Then
she hid in a corner of the dining room
behind screen and tried to pat her
dough into smooth round cake. w..
But it wouldn't pat. 1t was too soft.
When she pulled her hands apart, the
dough hung in long strings between
them and came near dropping on her
pretty, new dress. Then she tried to
pick the dough from one hand with the
other. But 1t stuck to both hands
alike and was between all her fingers.
She was sitting fiat on the floor and
could not scratch it. Directly two big
have to put both hands on the carpet
to brace herself, but now she couldn't
use her hands. So she sat still on the
floor, looking at her two hands in the
most forlorn way. Oh, dear, such
fix!
What if brother Rob should come
from school and find her in such a fix?
oh, how he v-Nuld shout and laugh.
She almost wished her hands were cut
Off
Then her nose began to itch and she
could not scratch it. Directly two big
tears rolled down her cheek, but she
couldn't wipe them away. Then she
winked real hard to make the other
tears go back.
Pretty soon she began to feel cross
l..
she pounded her heels spitefully on the
floor. Then presently she began
pounding and squealing altogether.
She did not care now how much noise
she made. Somebody must come and
help her before Rob came home.
Mamma. upstairs, heard strange
sounds below. She went down and hur-
ried to open one end of the screen and
then, such a sight! She stood quite
still for a moment, biting her lips, and
then said very soberly:
"Why, Edith, my dear, have you
scalded your hands and put them in
flour poultice.'
But Edith hung down her head and
did not answer.
Then mamma helped her up, and sit
ting in chair, she put Edith on her
lap-hands and all. Then she said:
Now, tell me all about 1t. ~
And Edith told her.
Then mamma said:
Edith, dear, i have often told you
that you must obey the servants when
ever you stray into the rooms where
they are working. You have made me
trouble by doing this. Had you obeyed
the cook this would not have happened.
Don't you see she knew best? Shall
set you back in the corner until you
can remember what I tell you?"
Edith said, 81 can remember now, If
you only please wash my hands"
So mamma made her all nice and
tidy before Rob came from school.

The orchestra, or such musicians as
are employed, may play Scotch reels,
jigs, and old fashioned melodies. One
of the figures which may be used is
the mirror figure. All the young wo-
men are seated and the young men,
taking small hand, mirrors, waltz or
two step up to the young women.
Each man gives some one girl mirror.
This girl then dances around with him,
encircling the room. AS the first cou-
rle comes to the head of the room the
young man takes a scarf from his
pocket and blindfolds the young wo-
man. AS each succeeding couple ad-
vances each girl is blindfolded. The
young men then form a line, before
which the girls pass, all holding hands,
with their backs to the young men and
their mirrors held up before their
faces. AS the music stops suddenly
the girls stop and the first girl holds
her mirror up before her face so that
she would look directly into it if she
were not blindfolded while one of the
men looks over her shoulder.
The young man in front of whom
she has stopped then unties the SCARF
and she looks in the mirror and sees
his face. He is her partner for the
next dance. The music then COM
mences again and the same thing is
gone through with until all the girls
have been supplied with a partner.
The mirrors used for this purpose
should be becoming" mirrors, as 9TH
erwise a plain girl or man would feel
uncomfortable. They need not be eX-
pensive. If cheap ones are bought the
frames may be covered with pumpkin
colored tissue paper made into large
frill, with ribbon or guiding.

get the apples with the teeth. Each
person tries in turn and each keeps
his apple until the last one is taken
out. Chambers Book of Days" in
it's article about Halloween customs,
says that the only sure way is to thrust
the head into the water boldly, no mat
ter how wet you get, and pursue the
apple straight to the bottom of the tub.
To make it a little more exciting, a
prize may be given to the one who gets
the most apples A suitable prize would
be some little trihe on which a picture
of apples was used as for instance,
a pin, photograph frame, small stamp
box, pocket book. sofa cushion, or sim
liar article on which there were ap-
pies pictured. The BOBBY prize could be
a little wooden tub such as are found in
toy stores.
Another famous old apple trick is
even more difficult, though not so wet,
Hang a stick longitudinally from the
ceiling by a string. On one end of the
stick place an apple, and on the other
a candle, which should be lighted. The
object is to catch the apple in the teeth
without using the hands The stick
will twirl around constantly as each
one tries to catch the apple, and some
times the player will get a mouthfuI
of candle instead. A prize may be
given for this also, something in apples
for the first prize and a little candle"
stick with a tiny candle, for the BOBBY.
There is also the trick with apple
parings, which are thrown over the
shoulder. The initials which the par
ings make will be those of the future
husband or wife of the person trying.
Another trick needs a mirror. as well
as an apple. The person who wishes
to see future husband or wife eats an
n before a H.
ing a candle in the other hand, and the
future husband or wife is supposed to
look over the shoulder, This must be
done in a room which is quite dark, eX-
cept for the candle. and the person who
tries it must be quite alone.
Some persons believe that 1t must be
done at midnight but there seems to
be no authority for this. Going down
the cellar stairs with n candle and
mirror is a variation of this trick.
One of the rites with nuts which is
used a great deal by grown up young
women tells whether or not lovers are
faithful and which person loves a girl
best, if she have more than one lover.
The girl puts one nut for herself and
one for each of her lovers on the CRATE
or stove. IF the nuts crack or jump
they are not faithful. Whichever nut
burns the most evenly is the most
faithful. If the nut named for the girl
and one of the other nuts burn together
they will be married. If the nuts have
been put on the fire by another girl
and one of the nuts named for man
breaks into a blaze then that nut has a
regard for the person making the trial.
Those who have a garden attached to
their house may try another trick. All
persons at the party should be blind
folded and go out into the garden, or

to eat them on account of such small
bones.
Once when a few were out they began
to splash water and a girl looked just
like she had been ducked, except for
two things: her hair and shoes were
dry. She stayed in the sun and dried
off. We were afraid she would catch
cold. AS she did not, we were glad,
for we did not care to have anything
mar our picnic.
We were playing games or boat rid
ing all the time, and you can guess we
had a nice time. The 5oys could row
fine, and we went a-fying. They say
the boat is very easy to manage.
