it. Who's going to do Halloween stunts-except the children, and who in the name of Peace is carrying their pocket books stuffed full of the things you are growing about?"
 I've no intention of getting per sonal in my remarks" said the Mere Man. "I don't even know that you know woman who knows where there is a fortune teller. I don't even say for a moment that you are going to look over your left shoulder into a mirror on Halloween night and see the man you are to marry, but l do say the sex as a whole is as deep in the mire of superstition about some old Crone, or Halloween Witch being able Ito divine what the future holds in store for people. as it was in the old days in Salem"
 "I never heard anybody talk as you do. Sir" Peggy said deliberately.
 "The last one of them ought to be run out of town on a rail-" said the Mere man. They are patent frauds. They obtain money under false pre- lenses They lie and steal and are a generally depraved element in com munity."
 But it is really wonderful," defend ed Peggy. what they do tell. -Aey don't obtain your money under false pretenses-either,"
 What they do tell" roared the Mere man delightedly. Why, I can tell your fortune right now, my dear girl, bet ter than any gypsy or Halloween Witch that ever strolled the high road. They don't know anything. It's all guess work"
 They do-sometimes," piped Peggy. "It was a gipsy that first told me about the legacy left me by Aunt Betty"
 Did she call your Aunts name?" asked the man. Did she state the amount?"
 "No-er-er she didn't" hesitated

Halloween Decorations

The expensive florist is out the run ming when it comes to Halloween decora- tions. The fields, the garden. the woods or even the corner grocery will furnish everything necessary. 4 big pumpkin cut in boat shape filled with fruit and autumn leaves makes an admirable cen- terpiece for the table, which may be deeorously laid with a white cloth and the best family china and silver. or quite as appropriately be simply wooden trestle of the kitchen table, it's naked ness concealed beneath garlands of au> tumn leaves and flowers, or paper nap kins or covers decorated with pumpkins or Dutch windm!lls. Of course, there will be pumpkin jack-o lanterns to light the porch, and if pumpkins are scarcs smaller lanterns made from squashes, gourds or even cigar boxes. Leaves, corn stalks, strings of red and green peppers, pine tree hung with bright red apples that can be plucked for the Halloween apple games add to the appropriate Hal loween garniture and spirit. Favors for Halloween may be made at home or par- chased at the shop for very little.

broomstlcks and with hair flying to the four winds play hide and seek. Between them at intervals. to give an added touch of color, are grinning pumpkin heads.
 With the cloth come a dozen napkins similarly decorated, a dozen doilies and dozen plates, on the rim of which is cat in the act of jumping over the moon, with a jack O lanterns looking up at her and smiling encoura cement.
 The entire set is made of crepe paper, except the plates, which are white paste- board.
 For Halloween mask parties, jack O lantern masks are just the thing. They also are of the crepe paper, but you have to cut them out and wire them yourself which makes them all the more fascin- ating. The paper comes In a fold" cost ing b cents, and one fold is enough for about 90 masks if you don't spoil any. which you won't if you're just the least bit careful.
 There are also all kinds of pretty crepe papers to be used for streamers and dec- orations in general One artistic paper is painted with golden sheaves or grain, at the foot of which nestle tomatoes, ears of corn, pumpkins and other things sug- gestive of harvest home.

Iall joke you say, and you shake 1t off immediately, and it's all an absurdity- but it really is percacious custom-a relic of the Dark Ages
 As for myself I say again I have TO uperstition-Hallow or-other- wise said Peggy flushing.
 You don't believe in signs?" queri ed the Man.
 "A few" she stammered. 'T would not raise my parasol in the house or worlds, for fear I'd lose a dear friend I wouldn't walk across the floor in one shoe for fear of a terrible disap- pointment before the 12 hours. were rp. l wouldn't mend a dress I was wearing for fear of scandalous false hood being told on me. I wouldn't sing before breakfast because I'd know I'd cry before dinner that day. and of course I wouldn't pass a pin with it's point toward me for I'd be turning away good luck"
 You really believe those fool things?" the Mere Man asked.
 ''Oh, they are just old nursery su- perstitions that my old Black Nanny taught me-" said Peggy, apologetically don't believe in flying in the face of Providence If there should be any thing"
 If there should be anything" he repeated after her mockingly. My dear little woman. fortunes go by contraries always. Exactly reserve that the fortune tellers tell you and you may read your future"
 'Oh, no!' exclaimed Peggy. Then you believe in them to a certain ex- tent? Well-so do l. I will confess to you now that two fortune tellers told me about you before I ever dreamed such person existed. And I remem- Der that I saw your face distinctly in mirror one Halloween night two years before that Both of the fortune tellers told me"
 'What?' eagerly asked the Man. as he hung on her every word.
 Tt doesn't matter" said she teasing ly. I've told you it wasn't to be- and yet I couldn't help being influenced by what they said, now I see if I'm right"
 Peggy-darling," said the Man tri- umphantly. "Of course once in a whiie fortune teller hits the truth. In our case for instance. It's history that In many computations and chance the veriest bungler predicts the most bril- liant and truthful calculations. Wit ness ourselves!
 T believe-er-er I've changed my mind,' said Peggy flirting a bit with her adoring fance. After what you've said I believe I am afraid to risk my future happiness with a man who was recommended to me by one of these people whom you dub reprobates and"
 "Why-I-er-er," he stammered, "I never knew you patronized one in your life. Honest Injun, now, I merely said"
 Even if I don't go to see them," said Peggy jocularly, "I carry news paper clippings of their address about with me, just as other silly women do and Vanity box and that left hind foot of a graveyard rabbit and as souvenir that I got at a Ruth Grey performance last winter. and I AM superstitious and weakminded but honest enough to confess 1t all and that I'm going to give you one more test Halloween night ard if the witches and goblins and sprites tell me then that you are my FATE-why, suppose-I-er--er will say YES"

that produced the spectacle last year.
 The same things will be done this Halloween that were done last Hal
 oween. The same maidens will look into the midnight mirror, try the Bible test with the verse from Ruth, walk around blocks with a handful of salt and mouth full of water, throw balls of corn meal containing swains names into tubs of water, pitch apple peel ings over the shoulder, stand on the left foot and count 100. backward, bob apples and indulge in all the midnight tests. The purpose will be the same to make sure of that future husband. Eve was the only woman who never had curiosity about her future hus- band, and that was only because she was created into the state that others must wait, watch and pray to attain. If Eve had one sorrow greater than another it must have been that she never enjoyed the period of suspense or realized the delights of anticipation in reference to her marital destiny.

Halloween

See the little mischiefmakers Everywhere about, Why, you'd think that all the children Had just yentured out. Up one street and down another; Hear their laughter gay? Iris the time for merry making Eve of All saints Day. Yet their mischief's never wicked; Only childish glee; And the pranks they play on grownups Are laughable to see. There's an umbrella broken, Tied to some ones gate; And the message, Go to China" On the doctors slate. And in front the Paris milliner's Are the signs which read: "Try our boots, they're sure to fit you, Tn shirts we take the lead.i'

Halloween Night of Witch
 cry

Halloween marks the downfall of tho roman gods and the beginning of the Chrlstlan religion as the state religion of Rome. but in general acceptance it Is to one part of the year very nearly what All Fools Day Is to another. It is the night of witchery, and volumes could be written on the traditions of its customs Because it Is a night of broomstlck riding, parties are always planned along this line of thought Cos tunes run to devils and demons. Shakespearean characters and dom inoes. weird animals and birds, fanei- ful figures and leering masks. hag makeups and figures that belong to mythology. It's great night for the yonns. The old folks mostly go to bed early.

Halloween Witch

speaking of witches, one may grace th table at the Halloween festivity Have the witch about IS inches tall. Take a piece of broomstick and fasten it into a solid block of wood, so it will stand erect. A holder for the tiny table Christmas tree Is just the thing for this purpose. Make the head of a tiny pumpkin. The witch may have dress the miniature of that just described, the black cat not be- ing overlooked
 Pumpkins, cut in half, scooped out am, with serrated edges make admirable fruit baskets, While tiny cabbages, hollowed out with an apple corer, will serve for un'que candle sticks. Apples, scooped out, make most attractive salad dishes
 A unique celery dish could be made of a large cucumber, hollowed out while smaller cucumbers will serve for olives.

well as fancy pendants. are made of cop per, wondrously colored. The designs, of course, are on strictly arts and crafts lines.
 Dinnity petticoats, hand scalloped at the edge, are just the garments to wear un- der the linen skirt They are to be had in blue, pink, lavendar or black
 Cotton crepe, whether Japanese or American manufacture, is especially pretty for house gown, for it lends itself admirably to the present styles.
 The newest hatpins have tops very smell in comparison to those which have been worn for many months past.

passengers who paid their way just as
they would have done had they gone by
rail we're carried in the four touring cars
that made the trip. while gasolene truck
carrying baggage and extra equipment com
pleted the caravan
Being the first venture Of it's kind, its
progress was closely watched by the man
ufacturers of cars and equipment in par
ticular, as well as by those interested In
automobile development in general.
Starting from New York on October ,
the tourists declared they were ready TO
face anything. and they looked for "all
sorts of tire trouble as a matter OF course
Although every passenger was an automo-
bile owner, each ore WAS Of the opinion
that the hardships ~ $40 miles OF travel
would prove too much for even the tough
rs. combination of rubber and fabric con
sequently, when the party had IT'S last din
