HALLOWEEN PARTY.
How to Have jolly Good Fun on
Oct. 81.

How to Have jolly Good Fun on
Oct. 81.
This jolly Halloween party given last
year may offer suggestions to the
hostess Of 1913. On the Invitations to
the party were inscribed the following
Jingle done in fantastic lettering:
When you arrive next Tuesday night,
Oh, be prepared to tell
The worst adventure, fearful fright,
That ever You befell!
The rooms were gorgeous with au-
tumn leaves, golden yellow pumpkin
jack-0'-lanterns and fantastic black cat
candle shades. An upstairs room which
was occupied had been turned into
chamber of horrors" The walls were
hung with sheets, then witches, spi.
ders, bats, owls and cats had been cut
from black paper. almost life sized, and
pasted on them; the lights were shad-
ed with green paper that gave
most CHASTITY glow. In this weird place
the guests were assembled to relate
their ''horror" tales A black cat and
her family Of jet black kittens played
about, adding interest to the scene
AS the people entered this spooky
place ghostly figure held out its hand
in greeting. A white kid glove had
been stuffed with fine sawdust and laid
on ice for hours. a round stick was
fastened to it. which the ghost had
concealed under the flowing sleeve dra-
peries. This is an old trick. but one
that always works well.
When the stories We're about finished
strange rafting was heard at the
door and two little scarlet clad imps
rushed into the room and chased ev-
erybOdy down to the dining room. The
table was lovely with Il huge pumpkin
which cavorted about the table driven
by a black cat coachman. The coach
was filled with grapes and yellow
chrysanthemums. At each place there
was an individual lantern made from
an orange. The bonbon holders were
yellow ice cups attached to pumpkin
wheels drawn by black cats. The host
ess said she had made these from Grape
paper. cutting out the figures. mount
ing them on cardboard. then touching
them up bit with black and gold
paint. These wonderful Grape papers
are great help to hostesses, as the
napkins come decorated for nearly ev-
cry special day in the calendar and
they are very decorative.
A simple but "Halloweeny" menu
was served, consisting Of coffee, crab
meat In Newburg in the chatting
dishes. cheese, olives. cider. popcorn,
salad (Waldorf) in red followed out
apples. gingercakes and a huge cake
containing the usual mystic symbols
namely. a ring, thlmble, coin and but
ton.
On stand by the fireplace there was
huge bowl filled with chestnuts.
raisins and apples for roasting. 1t was
all jolly and informal, as Halloween
parties should be.
