Games for the Halloween Party

A Witch Golf Game.-This is play ed by placing at one end of the room a large box with the open side toward the company, and at the other end of the room, as far as possible from the box, four apples in row-red, green, yellow and russet Give each of the four players child's broom. At a giv- en signal each is to try to sweep his particular apple into the box. The first one to do so is the winner. After all the guests have tried their skill, let the winners of each group compete together.
 Obstacle Race.-As each victim ar- rives the hostess points out to him a number of "obstacles,' such as a cush- ion, a newspaper, footstool, etc, on the floor. She asks him to note their location carefully and then demon- strate to the company the perfection of his sense of distance by stepping over them while blindfolded. The "ob- stacles' are then removed without his knowledge and his ludIcrous efforts to step over them are highly amusing to the rest of the company.
 Spearing at Fate. - Burn the let ters of the alphabet with a red-hot poker into large pumpkin, and hang the latter in a doorway, The guests are provided with meat skewers, and after the pumpkin has been made to oscillate as violently as possible they are asked to transflx one of the letters This is supposed to be the initial of the future wife or husbands name.

 There are several shades of coral and where the harsher red tones are impossible those of soft rose pink will usually be found very becoming. In this paler shade there are lovely strings of beads, each like delicate little rose. One of the prettiest necklaces is find gold rose with 8 pale pink coral rose set in front and on either side several long pendants of pink coral. There are small coral balls to set close to the ears, but the newer ear- ring is a long tear-shaped drop of pink coral.
 Haircomb tops are decorated with these pink stones. too, and one of theI most exquisite has an etched gold top,| with pink white cameo set in the center and round pink corals dotting ! the rest of the top.

 In the morning when the children woke up they had to look around. At last they remembered where they were After they had had their breakfast they went out doors. They saw big bird and they ran in the cottage to the old lady and said See See!''

Rarely Beautiful Flowers.

timely word about the beauty of the newers which call forth enthusi- astlce, admiration on all sides. Among the new varieties, for the novelty of course, lies in that direction. Is the large single clematis with it's rich fol- iage. The different shades of purples there find their proper place upon this superbe flower Fleur de lis in their variegated purples and mauves and their shadings of ambers and russet, with white veinings, make this royal flower in velvet joy to look upon. Calla lilies are wonderfully repro duced, while pansies in their multi colors vie with nature. And such pam sies, such beauties, both when gigantic in size, or of more natural propor- tions. Peonies in glorious reds, crlm- sons and in the red purple of Tyre, are huges flowerings growing through that soft velvet rioting of many shades that truly entrance the eyes.

SaCIlets of BaIsam.

At fashionable bazar last summer several novelties were displayed that may become popular this fall That fact Is an excuse for mentioning the bazar.

But about those novelties: One con- sisted of a series of pads for bureau drawers which, instead of being lined with cotton wadding, scented with perfume, were filled with fir balsam. The fresh, woody odor that clings to all articles laid upon the pads is most refreshing. On the silk covering is a design of pin cones and branches.
