The third day the cat came to
Peter with an Elk.
Peter took this third present to the
king. And when the king saw this

To Dress the Neck

A band of fancy ribbon for the neck,
topped with narrow edge of fur,
fastens at the left side under a fiat
bow of the ribbon, one edge of which
is fur trimmed. On no type of neck
wear does narrow fur trimming show
off to better advantage than on a
gracefully draped fiehu. Many such
fichus are made of embroidered net or
chiffon. Some of them have q wide
throat band of black velvet, together
with a fichu-j abot finish.

/ Halloween is one of the old
/ fashioned festivals that offers end
| less opportunities for entertain
ments out of the usual. Special
menus are being prepared at many
of the hotels and at country houses
where the day will be celebrated.
The dinner cards show gayly-colored
pumpkins and hobgoblins, While the
foods are all of the old fashioned
country kind.
Loads of russet leaves and chrysan-
themums will form the house deco
rations and pumpkin masks and COB
lin faces viii be worn to carry out
the legends of the day. At tne house
party on Long Island a screen will
show moving pictures of Tam o'Shan-
tcr's famous ride.
The pumpkin appears TO be dedl-
Gated to this day. A special bill OF
fare which will be served at one Hal
loween party will provide cookies
ginger cakes, tipsy charlotte ian old
time puddiDg), apples and pumpkins
in various styles, cultivated chest
nuts served in the burs, new hick-
cries and great many of the foreign
nuts. Tankards of ale, of CIDER and
| of buttermilk will be the beverages.
OYSTERS will be roasted by the
| guests at a great hearth fire and
| opened and eaten as they are done.
! Oysters, it is said, never taste better
| than when cooked in this way.
A big basket is provided for the
shells, and they are brought to the
fire in similar fashion, having been
first thoroughly washed and dried
They are set well into the blazing
embers by means of long handled
tongs and shovels. They are done
when the shells open and care must
be taken not to lose the juice as they
are removed from the fire.
The upper shell, the fat one, is re-
moved and the oyster eaten from the
deep under shell with salt, pepper
butter. lemon or whatever the taste
of the individual prefers. Pepper
sauce is also good with them. 1t Is
of course possible to roast oysters in
an ordinary oven with greater ease
than on the hearth, but the old
fashioned plan Is more run, and some
think they taste better that way.
Picked oysters are another old dish
good for Halloween. For this you
take as many oysters as you require;
100 call for the following spices mixed
with a pint of white vinegar; "A
dozen mace, two dozen whole cloves,
two dozen whole black peppers, one
large red pepper broken.
Put the oysters and their juice into
a perfectly clean, unstained sauce
pan: the white enamel is the best
as it shows any break or imperfec-
ton. Heat until the oysters are hot
without boiling and add little salt.
Take them out with a skinner ana
| add the spices and vinegar to the
liquor in the pan; boil briskly and
pour over the cooled oysters while
very hot. Serve them when ice cold.
A small roast pig is an effective
dish for a Halloween table. These
pigs are prepared TO order nowadays

In winter one has more time for
the cultivation of novelties in plants
than in summer. New effects add
to the beauty of the window garden
and serve as ornaments to the home.
For instance. one woman who is
lame and, in winter, confined to her
home. has devoted her time to the
raising of cactuses. One of her faY-
orite novelties is big cactus ball
that hangs i'm the front of her Win
dow garden.
A wooden tub twelve inches across
and six inches high was bored full of
holes one inch in diameter, then filled
with rich soil. and a cactus plant in
serted in each hole.
When the roots of the plants were
established the head of each pro-
truded through the hole. and, in Its
search for sunlight, it grew round
and big.

We're studded with these cactus heads

the tub into a ball of green spines
bulbs and odd-loOking heads In the
blooming season the cactuses pre-
scented a crimson mass that was

A Practical Article

If YOU would get all the cream that
there Is from bottle of milk ouy
one of the little cream dippers sold
to measure out modified milk for
babies. This is little metal cup at
the end of wire handle, and you
plunge it down into the. bottle OF
milk lust far enough to remove the
cream without disturbing the rest OF
the milk.
Itlis difficult to remove the cream
from the top of bottle of milk with
out so disturbing milk and cream
that they are pretty well mixed UP
by the time all the cream Is poured
off. This little cream dipper does
the work neatly and adequately.
