A CLEVER SCHEME
FOR HALLOWEEN

Instead OF writing the fortunes
with ink, write them with milk.
Then let each slip of paper dry and
fold t. Keep one side OF the cal
dron for the fortunes for the girls
and the other for the boys. Separ-
ate the caldron into two parts with
a piece of shaped cardboard. When
the milk IL dry, tho writing WILL
NOT SHOW.
As guest Is presented with his
fortune, he opens the paper and
sees blank. His expression will
be blank. too. until you tell him to
go back to tho others, get candle,
hold II beneath the slip OF paper
and watch the wftchs prophecy
come to light.
The secret OF this Is that as the
milk on tho paper heats II turns
brown and can be easily read. Try
the scheme before you give your
party 10 BIO sure II works.
The surprise and pleasure occa-
stoned by this little deception will
be ample pay for the trouble.

RULES FOR THE WARDROBE

Nevertheless the problem is dill
cult one for the woman who must
dress on limited means, and VINO
wants to achieve the same results as
her more fortunate sister.
So much is put on the market today
that is cheap that a woman IS easily
influenced to buy impractical things,
wasting her allotment for dress eX-
penses.
A we'll dressed practical woman Will
have merely several simple gowns n
her wardrobe. For afternoon wear
for somewhat dressy occasions, soft
weaves of silk, creped wolfe and SINH
lar materials are suitable. The style
must be simple. and 1t is not amiss to
add an original fancy belt, a few
striking buttons, or pretty collar and
cuff effects in embroidery or lace.
For daily wear, shopping, visiting,
or travelling, wooden material is best

Dresses with trains are frequently
worn without petticoats, and With the
proper underclothing the effect is
good. But for street wear the petit
coat should not be omitted, and the
manufacturers has seen to it that all
unnecessary fullness has been remov-
ed.
Any pretty simple frock will look

and the woman who wishes to take
proper care Of her street dresses and
boots will remove them Immediately
upon returning homo and put on a
house dress and slippers. Nothing is
harder on the appearance Of a tai
lored suit than wearing it in the
house, where one Is apt to lounge
about, getting creases in the material
that are hard to remove.
