Halloween Games.

Dea Miss Doom
We are going to give a Halloween
party. which will be held in a large
hall, Please give us a list OF games
suitable for young people from 16 to 20
years. THE GIRLS .
The young ok will, of course, want
to dance before unmasking, and 1t
would be interesting to award a prize
to the n guessing the greatest num-
Der Of maslters; another reward could
be given to the one remaining longest
incognito. The game Of bllndman is
fun for a large number. This is played
by b~lindfoIding one Of the number. then
seating the others in a circle, giving
each a number. The blindfolded
member from the centre of the circle
calls out two numbers which should
be ON opposite sides of the circle and
when the numbers called rise to ex-
change places the blindfolded one
makes a frantic endeavor to catch one
of the two crossing to their places. If
he succeeds the one caught is it, if
not, the game continues until someone
is caught.
A pastime especially suited to Hal
loWe'en Is to have the members Of the
party seated around "a very large mus
on sheet, held so players cannot see
beneath, the lights turned low or of the
Jack-o-lantern variety. Pass around
under the sheet such articles as a glove
which has been filled with bran and
thoroughly chilled on the ice, a hot
baked potato. toy beetles, frog or any
thing Of the sort that will give a mys-
terious or gruesome impression.
Give each one an ear of corn to shell.

sists Of "a very large number, they
might be shelled by two partners. Then
have each n count, or the partners
count the number of kernels on the
ear. writing down the number on a slip
Of paper. The leader Of the party then
takes all the kernels and puts them
into "a large bowl or dish, permitting
each to guess the total number of kerr
nels. The correct number may he OBJ

which are collected for the purpose.

! PASTEBOARD PACKING BOARDS. /
8 {.

Pasteboard packing boards for
trunks will be found a great help to
keep dresses in good condition when
travelling. At a box factory you can
get the pasteboard cut the desired size,
which would be the same as the in
terror Of your trunk trays. Make
cases or slips Of some cheap p~ercale
and cover the pasteboard with it, sew
ing up the ends. Fasten half inch tapes
in the middle of each end Of the board
long enough to meet and tie at the
centre. and at each corner and also
on each side attach additional tapes.
To pack a gown or skirt which will
not go full length in a trunk, lay the
garment on one OF these boards, tie
the tapes At the corners and fold
over them the end of the garment;
then tie the tapes that run lengthwise
and crosswise. The garment will be
held secure and flat. Another adVant-
age is that at a hotel, or whenever
you wish to take ont one dress, you
escape disarranging all the others.
