Halloween Fun.

How many have ever tried an "owl
hunt?" To each guest give wooden
gun such as may be purchased at
toy shop for few cents. and tell him
to hunt owls. First, of course, these
funny little gray paper owls decorated
with water colors must be hidden
throughout the rooms. Ordinary gray
owls count five, white owls count ten
and horned owls count fifteen Each
bird has looped bit of red string tied
through a punched hole, so 1t may be
hung on the gun. This makes great
sport, the one bagging the most owls
and the one who has the fewest being

delicious creepy sensation comes when
trying the charms that must be done

to placate the evil spirits. A cotilIion
with appropriate favors is the best
wtnd-up for this party and the guests
are supposed to be from twelve to six

Halloween Suggestions.

Halloween is almost here and with
its approach come voIuminous letters
from excited youngsters all bubbl1ng
over with curiosity as to what Is to
be done and how to do it To many 1t
Is first experiences; there are others
who want something new" and there
are others who want to give sur
prise" parties To each one Madame
Mern hopes to give just the necessary
suggestions, but she must say that
about the only way to plan Hailow-
cen party is to do the old ume-hon-
ored stunts, perhaps with new settings
Where 1t Is possible, make a tour OF
the shops, visit the favor counters;
they are full Of clever things. Where
this is impossible, we feel sure that to-
days department will contain enough
for every one who is going to cele-
brate on the last day of this glorious
red and yellow October.
Traditions and legends do not
change. it is only the novelty of our
carrying them out; 1t is blessed pro-
vision made by a wise and loving Fa-
Their that all things are new to the in
dividual, though the things themselves
are as old as time itself.
If one has only a wee bit of talent
with pencil and brush with the paste
pots aid most charming invitations
and favors may be made at home.
Half the fun of a party is the prep
aration and happy anticipation. Cut
Halloween designs from paper nap
kins, paste on cards or thin pieces OF
wood, then write the name or invita-
ton A new favor consists of tiny
wire corn peppers filled with real pop
corn which will pop when held over
candles. Imagine a table set with
these peppers at each place, the name
tied on the handle, a candle in a car
rot candlestick in front of each plate.
What fun for the guests.

A very useful rack for boots and
shoes is the subject of the accom-
panytng sketch. and 1t Is a simple
contrivance that may be arranged
low down in the recess of wall. or
in the lower part of a cupboard. or
across the corner of a room
1t is very necessary to assign a
place for boots and shoes. when they
are removed, where they may be more
or less out of sight; but the particular
advantage of the rack illustrated is
that the boots are held in such a po-
sitian that the soles are exposed to
the air, and therefore. should they be
damp when taken of. will dry much
more quickly on a rack OF this kind
than If placed on the floor.

They come in the shape of carrots,

had, fill the pumpkin with homemade
goodies, which will prove just as ac-

The sketch shows very clearly the
nature of the rack. which consists OF
four bars of wood (old broom handles
would quite well answer the purpose)
fixed across a recess in the wall Two
OF the bars are fastened within an
inch or so of the wall, and the other
two are fastened in front of them and
trif1e lower down. Nails run
through the end of the wood in
slanting direction and into the wall will
quite well hold them in their place.

desired to hide the rack from view;
and in a bedroom this, perhaps. would
be desirable. but in a cupboard 1t
would of course be unnecessary.
