haps she lifts her skirt with one hand
while with the other she carries
parcel. This will make the shoulders
uneven. And in time they grow un-

Round shoulders are caused by the
habit of letting the body sink forward.
Women with lung. trouble have round
shoulders, while dyspeptjcs almost in
variably have shoulders that hoop for
ward, making the figure a poor shape.
To straighten a pair of round shoul-
ders is difficult. A brace can be worn
and this serves as a. reminder and
the woman straightens up. The Wom-
an whose shoulders are round cannot
quite as disfguring as pair of shoul-
ders that bend too far forward. The
whole shape is destroyed
Fat shoulders are apt to be pretty.
But the trouble is that it is difficult
to put just. the hight amount of flesh
upon the shoulders. Either they are
too thin or they become too stout.
And the pudgy shoulder, full of great
soft creases, is impossible from beau
tvs standpoint.

A CATSH0W CATASTROPHE

Their little home stood about so
yards back from the village street. You

gross exaggerat.on. The smallest thing
Of all was the Misses Gordon's annual
income.
I think it was the constant effort to
make that sum supply the: necessaries
of exi,tence that had sown so many
anxious lines on their, faces. In winter,

cold, an extra woollen. shawl had to be

placed a large saucer CT thick, rich

Some Pretty and Novel Ways to En-
tertain Guests.
Halloween PARTY,

E1diIO"c CT TdFIy.
It seems impossible to believe that
it is time to think of "Hallowe'en"
parties, but request from a young
correspondent for suggestions for
this fascinating day reminds us that
next month brings the time looked
forward to by each succeeding coterie
of young people. In fact, this oc-
casion offers so many possibilities in
the way of entertaining that it is a
favorlte season for all sorts of func-
tons.
The young girl in her letter asks
for ideas for "Hallowe'en'' masque-
rade party: =, ..
AS this is the night when witches,
brownies, hob-goblins of all sorts are
supposed to hold high carnival,
should ask the guests to come in COS
tunes of that character, with perhaps
few girls dressed as fairies to ward
of bad spirits. The Japanese paper
caps and masks are the best to use,
they are easy to adjust, cool, and very
inexpensive. If you cannot procure
them, send me a stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope, and I will put you
on the right track. Cider, doughnuts,
apples, popcorn sandwiches and a
fortune" cake are among the refresh
mentss.
Musical Games.
The *:*MusicaT' game apparently is
always with U.s. 1t seems to be in de-
mand constantly, so while this is
similar to those that have appeared
in the department., it differs enough
to be used and will probably be avail
able to many hostesses. All that is
necessary for the success of this en-
tertainment is to have a ready person
at the piano; the hostess reads the
question, the piano gives the answers
and the guests write down the melo-
dies they recognize on programmes
provided with pencils Announce that
"'all those who recognize: the last
answers will please arise and; join In
the singing" OF course suitable
prizes are awarded for the best and
poorest lists. d VIII. =..:zs$ $5. .s%S=i
