Costume for Halloween
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
Having seen the valuable informal
ton you give your readers through
your columns / take the liberty to
ask a few questions. Can you sug-
gest a few good costumes for a Hal
lowe'en party? Also, what Will take
a greasy stain out of a green crepe
de chine dress? Thanking you in ad-
vance. I remain. A A
The costume of autumn is very
pretty and appropriate. For this
make a flowing gown of some soft
purple material and trim it with
white and purple grapes. Irvine au-
tumn leaves in your hair and carry
a basket of grapes on your arm. You
may sew autumn leaves on your gown
instead of grapes if you so desire, but
the grape idea is more original. Use
artificial grapes, of course.
Another attractive costume is that
representing a chrysanthemum. Have
a soft yellow gown with a border of
paper chrysanthemums around the
skirt. a belt of the same flower and
n large yellow hat, which you can
make of crepe paper. trimmed with
the flowers. On your arm carry a
basket of chrysanthemums and au-
tumn leaves.
A witch's costume of black trimmed
with white paper or cloth skulls n
c~rossbones, a black cornucopia hat
decorated to match the dress and a
broom with the handle twined with
black cloth is always appropriate for
Halloween, but the trouble is that
there is nothing unique about 1t.
To remove the grease spot make a
rim of French chalk around it to
keep the oil from running beyond the
blemish, put a piece of blotting pa
per under it, wet a cloth with chloro-
form and rub gently toward the cen
tire of the spot, changing the cloth
as soon as it becomes soiled. When
the spot has disappeared wipe it dry
with a clean cloth.

Halloween Masquerade Party

Dear Miss Doom:
Seeing that your kind advice has
helped others we now apply to you
for same.
We girls are planning to have q
masquerade party on Halloween, but
do not know how to go about 1t
Could you kindly suggest something
inexpensive for luncheon? How
should the rooms be decorated? Name
some games and directions as to how
TO play them. IF 1t Is not too much
kindly suggest a few ways to mas
querade. Thanking you in advance
for any advice you may give us and
hoping to see an answer in the New
ark Evening Star at your earliest
convenience. we remain,
THE MASQUERADERS.
Halloween lends itself beautifully
to decorations and at very little ex-
pense one can change ''citifed" rooms
Into a rustic fairy scene. Go out into
the woods and get branches Of au-
tumn leaves. Put them on the walls,
over the doors, Irvine them around
the chandeliers. in fact, put them in
every possible nook and corner.
Place corn husls here and there
about the room and in safe places
put jack-o'-lanterns, letting them
give the only light there Is in the
room.
In the middle of the table, at
which the supper Is served, arrange
a large caldron containing tho favors.
This can be manufactured at home
by taking a large cooking pot, cover-
ing 1t with yellow crepe paper and
arranging it on a tripod. Have corn
husks for place card holders. The
stores are showing very pretty Hal
lowe'en tablecloths and napkins with
witches, pumpkins, bats, etc, on them.
These aid greatly in the decorations,
There are also very pretty jack-o'-
lantern, caldron and witch favors
which will be attractive at each place
IL you do not care to have the favors
In the large centre caldron.
You may serve an ordinary supper
of sandwiches, salad, cake, candy,
nuts, fruits, ice cream and coffee, or,
as ! have seer done successfully, an
old-fashioned frankfurter, potato
salad, beans and pumpkin pie sup
per. This may be served on wooden
plates with a real ~"picnicy" effect.
Why not make a candy pull the
main feature of the evening? If you
take most of the things out OF the
kitchen and decorate 1t the same as
you do the other rooms you a AVE
the guests sit around the stove and
watch the candy boil, and all take a
hand in pulling it. Then you might
pop corn and roast chestnuts.
For further amusement arrange
some lighted candles in a long, fiat
pan say three rows of candles with
six in each row, and see how many
the guests can blow out at a certain
distance from them. The lighted AN
dies left after the blowing represent
the number of years of single bless
edness that remain to the blower.
Again, carve the letters of the al
phabet on a medium-size pumpkin,
~blindfold each guest and have him
touch one of the letters with a point
cd stick. The letter touched stands
for the initial of the future partner.
Fill a large box with sand or dirt,
bury either favors or fortunes and
provide small shovels for the guests
to dig them III

In reply to your favor I would say ~
Hoping to see this in the morning or
evening edition, 1 am, yours truly.
A CONSTANT READER.
Strictly speaking the second form
is correct. The subject of a sem
tence should never be omitted ex-
cept. of course, in an imperative SEN
ence. The first form has grown up
in business correspondence through a
desire to save time, space and energy.
and, therefore, if we are to ,ake
usage as a criterion of correctness.
the first form is not wrong in bust
ness letters, though the lover of
good English will take time to put in
the little "I' ever in those letters.
However, the first form should never
be used in other than strictly bust
ness correspondence.

which circles the lower edge of the
sleeve and extends in a single line up
the outsire of it nearly as far as the
elbow.
For the who finds it neces-
sary to turn back the sleeve of her
dress-up waist occasionally when
compelled to be housemaid as well as
hostess, the "aeroplane'' may be
easily fashioned with an opening of
the outside seam and fitted with
hooks and eyes or patent fasteners.
In this way the entire cuff may be
drawn up over the other part of the
sleeve to protect it from dirt when
necessary.

THE THIRD TERM MOVEMENT

Oh the night of DIS election TO ihe

two term limit on the period which

IN the nation and be further declared
that hc would Boz again be candi-
