CHARITY OPENS HER HAND

Donations for Children's Hospital.
Talks on Suffrage and Preparedness


National preparedness woman suffrage,
the Children's Hospital and the beauties,
scenic and otherwise, of a suburb of
Philadelphia, known as the Bala-Cyn-
wyd section-those and other topics were
discussed and applauded by widely-known
speakers at the eighth annual dinner of
the -Cynwyd Neighborhood Club,
held on the roof garden of the Adelphia
Hotel last night
More than 800 men attended and all
dropped something in the hat for the
Children's Hospital campaign fund.
1t was a dinner of remarkable speeches.
John Temple Graves supplied one of the
many features with a strong plea for
national preparedness and woman suf-
frage. He described those two issues as
two national questions of the hour"
Congressman John r. X. Scott would
have won his case and added fresh
laurels, as it were, had the splendors and
beauties of the Bala-Cynwyd section been
at stake, or before a jury. He gave an
interesting historical Sketch of that Sec
ttiOn. which he described in most glowing
terms.
Men in many walks of life listened TO a

intendent of the Lower Merton Public

SOME HINTS FOR THOSE
WHO WOULD HAVE GOOD
TIME ON HALLOWEEN
Decorations Most Important
Problem Before Every Capa-
BILE Mistress Who Would
Succeed in Arrangements
PROPER EFFECTS CRUX

Among the highly important features of
q Halloween jollification, however simple
OF elaborate, are the house decorations.
No capable mistress of the art of en-
tertaining neglects to carry out weird and
grotesque effects throughout the house,
in keeping with the spirit of the mystic
night.
1t encourages the abandon in her
guests, which, after all, is the keynote
to the successful entertainment.
sdbdued lights, making everything
rather indefinite. is the first considera-
tion. Next are autumnal effects, pro-
duced by cornstalks, vari-colored leaves
on fine branches and grinning, lighted
pumpkins.
Then come weird effects Of ghosts, black
cats, owls, witches and bats.
Here are a few suggestions: Two or
three ghosts peering from corners may be
made oy placing a broom, brush end up.
Drape this with a sheet, arranging the
drapery at either side to the wall to re-
semble outstretched arms One end may
be tackled underneath a picture and the
other may have a white long, bony
finger. cut out of white cardboard point
ing along the wall. This is done by
taeking the sheet and cardboard hand TO
the wall.
On top of draped broom place papier
mache skull, hooded with white cloth.
Festoons of crepe paper, 10 feet in
length, with small witches and yellow
pumpkins dangling from it, may be
bought for 10 cents. This makes splen-
did decoration strung from chandeliers
to the corner Of the room.
Arrange small branches of vari-colored
leaves around pictures. Crepe paper
printed with large black cats, old witches
and bats, yellow pumpkin faces and
brown owls may be bought by the roll 90
feet to a rolD; paste a strip OF this TO
cardboard and cut out figures. Arrange
them on walls and I'm branches.
Ftreproof crepe paper in plain pumpkin
color may be bought at the stores and
made into fancy shades for electric light
and gas light globes. Frill the paper
around the top of the glass shade, paste
straight band 10 hold gathers and dec
orate with small black slhouettes Of
cats, bats or witches. This paper will
not fame up if ignited. but will char.
lighted pumpkins cut with grotesque
faces are always good. Orange crepe pa
per may be bought and made into arti-
hcial pumpkins very easily. STUFF the
inside with crinkled paper and twist at
the top to resemble stalk. Paste grinning
faces around the sides.
A mantel may be decorated TO look
like a gray. messy haunt of shades. Slip
a fold Of gray paper from its packet;
then, just as It Is, without unfolding,
slash Il into strips about A-inch wide,
Arrange small branches about mantel,
and, separating strips, stretch them ir-
regularly over branches 10 look like
Southern gray moss.
Arrange small bats and owls in through
the messy branches and arrange a
crouching ghost in the fireplace, as though
peering out OF the chimney.

BRIDEGROOM APPROVES
OF HIS WANT-AD BRIDE
"No Cupid Like the Newspaper
Cupid" Says 78-year-old
Husband

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-There is no
Cupid that can beat the newspaper Cupid,
according to William H. Burden. 7S-year-
old bridegroom, who has been married
three days to his "want-ad" bride Pretty
Lulu Douglas Thompson, the %-year-old
Atlanta girl who won Burden and $780,,
900, today approved all her elderly hus-
band had to say about entrusting your
heart to the care of the advertising
column
The Burdens were busy fixing up their
dove cote at GA West 10th street They
had just returned from the Georgia cap
ital, where Burden, a former resident of
Macon, Ga, last Sunday married the
girl he had won through a newspaper
want ad.
when a man wants something it is
natural for him TO advertise for it,
drawled the bridegroom whose snow
white mustache alone betrays his age.
"Why should my marriage cause such
fuss? l simply was a widower who
had enjoyed a happy married life and
wanted to try it again.
Yes, it was a romance; but all I can
say about that part of it is that 1 knew
Miss Thompson well enough and long
enough to marry her. My friends here
and in the South We're surprised, but I'm
old enough to take care of myself. No
one opposed our marriage because no one
knew about it until it had happened"
Burdens son. a middle-aged man,
nodded mis- approval and Burden Sr,
hurried out to look for his young brides
four trunks.
What do 1 think of 'want-ad mar
riages?' said Mrs. Burden. Nothing,
except that I'm very, very happy"

FUR-TRIMMED GARMENTS
WORN ON ALL OCCASIONS

r. YOU are in doubt about
Il Just what Is the proper
thing to choose for your best
afternoon gown, remember
these two essentials. They are
the outcome OF a careful and
observant tour of the New
York shops, and the rule viii
prove itself invaiuable. The
safest afternoon frocKs are.
first OF all. redingotes. In
spite of the tendency toward
the htted walstline and the
tailored street gown there Is
no doubt but the redingote will
take FIRST place for really
fashionable affairs. The
serge-and-taffetas or the SERGE
and-satin gowns which made
their appearance for early fall
days have been entirely re-
placed by the velvet, silk or
two-fabric redingote. And the
second rule is-let the gown be
fur-trimmed.
II is almost impossible to
buy a gown In the shops now
which isn't fur-trimmed. so
that rule Is more or less un-
necessary. But il is well to
remember TO buy nothing but
good fur. An inferior quality
of fur will not pay, and the
effect of perfectly good cos
tune win be marred beyond
repair by poor fur. The saw
ing thought about this is that
any kind Of fur may be util-
izcd; fashionable furrlers are
selling every imaginable pelt
to harmonize or contrast with
the new tints.
A smart creation OF Russian
tendecies is shown in today's
fashion illustration. The seal
velvet cuffs are topped with
fitch, and the whole is veiled
with indestructible wolfe of the
same shade. An embroidery
of silk-and-metal strands is
seen on the tunic, with a
metallic cord for a girdle. The
double fold of panne at the
knees is a noticeable feature,
while the upper part of the
bodice affords a striking con-
trast in its sheerness to the
rest of the gown. The smart
pressed beaver hat is seal
brown also, with goura.

New Waists Match Suits

To he worn with the suit to

not material. Flesh color and

with a touch of the color of
the suit added to them, give a
charming effect and the nee
