HALLOWEEN GAMES.
What Happens When tho Prince Of
Darkness Presides at the Party.

What Happens When tho Prince Of
Darkness Presidss at the Party.
a Halloween celebration at which the
Prince Of Darkness personally presides
can be made very effective. The invi-
tations should be written in red on
black paper, and the guests should be
asked to wear masks.
The hostess should be dressed as
witch in black, with peaked hat and
broom, and Satan wears red, with a
red mask. There are also various sub
sidiary friends (small brothers and
sisters) dressed in black, with rope
tails, painted caps and toasting forks
at the ends of sticks.
A room can bo arranged as hades,
or the basement can be used for the
purpose, in which case the furnace
door can be thrown open at intervals
with great effect A throne of boxes
draped in black is erected in the cen
ter of hades, and on Il Satan sits. With
a book OF record in his lap. A die
tionary serves tho purpose exceilently.
At the appointed time the hostess
swings open the gates OF hades or con-
ducts the guests by circuitous :oute
to the basement Two hends rush
forward, seize a guest and begin to
prod him with their forks. Chains
clank. groans are heard, and the VIC
Tins are led TO the foot OF the throne
Here is where most Of the fun comes
/ in. for Satan knows or has been primed
with all the interesting facts in the
| history OF each guest. In a hollow
voice he reads long lists of sins from
the dictionary and all the time the
fiends are "torturing' the victim As

The Hindoo turban is a swathed hat,
made on q frame covered with such
soft materials as velvet. piece beaver,
the richest ottoman silk and other soft
silks and chiffons. The bordering TO

The crown is not always a twisted

toque. The finish Of the two hats near
the head is identical.
Their size removes them afar from
the hats we have known by similar

Crue Badge Of Blue Blood
Ability and Disposition to Do ANY Kind Of Work
When Necessity Blows the Busle
Indicate Character.

They think they are saving but in
reality spend more money than their
most extravagant sisters.
One woman Of my acquaintance
thought IL was extravagant to have an
account in a bank where they draw
checks. and yet she spent more than
her interest from the savings bank be-
cause she had to make so many trips
there. Another kept her old clothes
for an indefinite period. fixing them
over each year. priding herself that
she bought no new ones. and yet sho
spent enough for new gowns many
times over in the old gowns she fixed.
Another woman trimmed her own
hats, but she quickly grew tired OF
them because they didn't look right.
The result waE her closets were filled
with hats not one of them being smart
looking. But the total cost OF this
millinery would have certainly paid
for one excellent model.
Many women consider that homeiy
things must bo practical and for this
reason always buy the ugliest and
heaviest Of materials Their economy
is the easiest to show up. but IL IS
usually exercised on children and de-
pendents, so one does not have a
chance to hear many complaints. and
as soon as these people are enamel
pated they fly to the other extremes
and comfort themselves.
Good Judgment Means Economy.
Economy means simply good judg-
ment, the power 10 decide between

The woman who persists IN speaking
the truth and I'm having "set" ideas
will never proceed very far socially.

a reform club. and people who want
every one TO think as they think had
far better live alone. where they will

TELLTALE roNauEs-

The latest fad is delineatins char
acter by the shape OF the tongue.
Thus the tongue that shoots ont
straight without turning or waver-
ing indicates a solid. reliable man OF
affairs. Tongues that turn UP indicate
Impractical natures. A downward
dropping tongue belongs to the one
born to poverty and a ready eye Tor
the hopeless side Of things. The cruel
tongue flattens and broadens when ex-
tended. The delicate speaking organ
with curled edges is the property Of an
imaginative and artistic being. When
the tongue issues forth as If gripped in
a dental wise It signifies a love Of life
more than ordinary.

OLD rRuNks-

The outside OF a trunk is not the
only part that gets battered and un-
slightly although there are no "inte
rior" baggage smashers. When the
hinges and lining become torn and
soiled they may be replaced at home.
Strong tape, securely fastened with
tacks, makes excellent inside hinges.
Body and lid may be lined with molra
wall paper, the edges neatly finished
with passe partout binding.
The paper should be put on with
good wall paper paste and allowed to
dry before the trunk is used.

WASHINGTON, April PA case of
unusual Importance will be heard in
Chicago on April 26 by representatives
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, brought by the American Bank
ers' Association against various express
companies, in which the companies are
alleged to practise discrimination
against bankers in the transportation
of money.
A year or more ago the association
filed a complaint in a tentative way
with the commission with a view to
forcing the express companies to cease
their business of dealing in money
orders, bills of exchange, foreign n
domestic letters of credit. drafts and
similar evidences of money. The allie
CATION was made that the companies

ORDERS
IN THE IRON AND
STEEL BUSINESS
Trade Outlook the Most Favor
able in All Branches Since
October of 1907.

PITTSBURG, April 12.-Among the
features of last week in the iron and
steel trade were increased buying of
plates, structural material, merchant
pipe and steel cars. The outlook has
not been as favorable at any time since
the depression began In October. 1907.
There are strong indications of an ac-
tive buying movement in some of the
most important lines developing before
the end of the month. probably within
a week.
The most important business placed
vas in merchant pipe. Among the
new orders was one for sixty miles of
sixteen-inch pipe for the Kansas
Natural Gas Company, for delivery in
the Kansas gas fields, booked by the
National Tube Company. Spang,
Chalfant & Co. rave begun shipments
on about Is, 900 tons of sixteen, seven
teen and e~ighteen-inch pipe for a line
in Kansas.
In addition to several large projects
that have been pending for some time
which include 300 miles for a line from
Oklahoma to st. Louis and 400 miles
from the Illinois oil fields to New Or
leans. was an inquiry from the South
ern Pacific Railway for 200 miles OF
eight-inch pipe Inc another from the
Busch-Everett Syndicate.
Structural steel interests are figur-
Ing on several large inquiries which
are expected to develop into contracts
within a week or two. From present
indications there will be a lively mar
ket for wire n wire products before
the end of the week.
