All along the route imitation
"spooks" are met in the most UNI
expected places; grinning jaclk-o'-
lantern heads with ghostly bodies
peering from dark corners; false
faces, with lights behind them,
black cats and big toy spiders hang
from webs made of string.
The guests are let to stumble over
small objects left in their path, in
pans and things that make as
much noise as possible.

the chief asks the sinner If he has
any defense to make and If he can
satisfactorily clear himself. He is
made to solemnly promise to tell a

If, however, he cannot offer any
good excuse for his sins, the cher

Decorations and Favors

Decorate the house with carrots,
pumpkin lanterns, corn of red and
yellow ears and all sorts of autumn
leaves Nothing can be prettier
than this. The table should be
grooming with fruit, nuts and APP
pies, of course, in two large bowls;
have them polished until they shine.
Make little hobgoblins of nuts and
carrots to sit on the tables. Dress
them up in funny little costumes.
1t will add greatly to the appear
ance of the table,
Among the favors which are to be
filled with bonbons there are quaint
little brown baskets with vegetables
of different sorts on the lid, all sorts
of fruits and vegetables, with many
small pumpkins especially notice
able, witches riding broomsticks
gaily attired in red and black, and
brown witches brooms, the broom
part of which lifts off, disclosing
the box. One Of the most attrac-
tive designs for the ice cups is a
small gilt wheelbarrow filed with
vegetables of many colors, among
which the Ice cup itself Is adroitly
concealed
There are hundreds of little things
to make and give away, the ghosts
made of paper with white robes on,
pumpkin lanterns with candles. The
windows and stores are filed with
these novelties and they cost very
little. You can make men or ami
mails of peanuts by the aid OF
matches, paint and some WOODEN
CLOTH.
Use an apple corer on tiny cab
bages and fill the centre up with
candles. Do~the same with carrots.
You will find them very pleasing
souvenirs to your guests.
Wee pumpkins make nice boxes
for the sweetmeats, too, or you can
fill them with popped corn, if you
prefer, of the red and white kind
