If you are going to have Hal
lowe en- jamborec, there are so
many delightful kinds OF parties
and entertainment that it is hard
to decide just what to do. The
ghost party or masquerade, how
ever, is always a favorite and is
just as appropriate for little folk as
il is for grown-ups. The first thing
of importance is, of course, the in
vitations. Here is a little verse
which can be written on a cores
pOndence card and with little black
witches pasted on either side it
makes an attractive invitation to a
small girls or boys party. The
clever young girl could probably
make up an original verse and paint
the witches in the corners.
My house is going to be the scene
OF a spOok party on Halloween,
When Jack OLanterns prowl about
And skcery COLLINS shrek and
shout.
And if you're there from seven to
ten
Perhaps you'll see some witchcraft
then.
But surely you'll be taken to task
If You don't dress up and wear a
mask.

They Do Not
Make Beds
in Yucotan

In Merida, YUcatan, the majority
OF the people do not use beds, in
fact very few of them have ever
seen one. They sleep in ham
m0Cks, which are swung across the
rooms at night and with no fuss of
LCd-making; the person just goes
TO bed and is gently rocked to
sleep by any passing breeze. The
climate is so hot that it is only
during the months of January and
February that a light sheet may be
required as covering.
These hammocks are usually
made by the mother Of the family
and consist of thread, more or less
fine, woven together on great
frames with kind of a shuttle or
needle. Some Of the designs are
wonderfully intricate and the col
ors beautifully blended. I saw one
very large one made in the colors
Of the United States flag, which
was to be sent UP to the United
States for gift. 1t was certainly
a work Of art, made Of the finest
thread; and yet the
hammock could easily support a
weight of three hundred pounds. A
servant always brings his or her
own hamock, which is very con

TITS wonderful, it's wonderful:
I'd tell it too,
If | could, if | could"
It's such fun to gather nuts now,
too, | wonder how many of you
have been nutting. There are lots
of black walnuts, and have heard
Of some Juniors who discovered
grove Of white walnut trees near
Eaton, Ohio. Isn't it great to get
your hands all dyed a deep yellow

at them and wish they had been
nutting too?

PLEASANT HALLOWEEN PARTY AT HOME Ma
CAN BE ARRANGED WITH LITTLE COST ~
Music Twice Canned
Cheers Soldiers

You know how hard it seems to
be in bed a long, long, time. When
you are sick, it seems as if the
clock turns itself back an hour or
two when you have your face turn
ed away from it, and you are sure
the hours never will pass. People
come to see you and bring you
good things and there are so many
stories to think up and yet, after
all, there are lots of times when
you would be tickled to pieces if
something would only happen,
You don't care what is is-a wild
animal circus, or a picnic, or even
someone just flying a kite outside
of your window
That is the way it is with many
Of our poor hurt soldiers, who are
in the hospitals. But you know
when things get to looking real
dark, and you feel indigo blue,
something always happens all of a
sudden that makes the world its
same wonderful self again. That's :
what happened to the soldiers in
the Walter Reid hospital in our
capital, Washington. And it was
the kind hands Of the American
Red Cross that made the difference.
An Acolian-V Ocalian { a kind of
photography was set up in the Ii
brary of the hospital which has
,la 81, l.;
and switchboard (iG you do not
know what this is, ask your father
or mOthCr-it is not a place where
spanking switches are kept fixed
on it instead of the big horn that
IS usually on a monograph. To
this several transmitters are fixed
that look like the receiver of the
telephone, connected with things
that stir up al kinds Of energy by
electricity in the air around the
hospital bedrooms. One end of
this tranSmitter the soldier holds
in his hand as you hold the re-
ceiver of telephone, and the other
end is fastened on some metal in
the patients room, as a radiator
or a bed spring and what do you
think! The sick soldier can hear
the music which comes from the Ii
brary without being carried there
by wires, or anything but the en-
ergy that the electricity stirred up.
Now the soldiers of Walter Reid
hospital do not have TO lie for
hours, trying to figure out whether
or not No Mans Land was ever
drearier than the space around
his cot, for they can hear all sorts
Of music whenever they want to.
And, music is not the only thing
theyp can hear this way, for sto-
ries and all the news from the
newspapers can be carried to the
sick person in the same way.
