So many preparations are under way
for Halloween parties that there Is no
doubt that a lot Of merry-making is
coming to pass this year upon the re-
turn Of the festival of "all saints day."
The big shops are showing all sorts OF
grotesque, funny and pretty decora-
lions, made of paper-in the way Of
adornments for house and table, and
people are buying them freely.
A gay party at home is the best way
to celebrate and is evidently, taking the
place of FRANKS that lure the young
sters into doing dangerous and dam
aging things ON the outside.
Yellow and black are the colors for
Halloween decorations and lanterns,
candle shades, jack-o'1anterns, table
and house furnishings are all done in
these colors, with yellow in a dark
shade predominating. Plain crepe pa
per, In bolts and fringed strips, is used
for a great number of Halloween
figures and there are many printed
papers containing figures In black as
witches, ghosts, jack-o'-lanterns and
innumerable black cats in all sizes.
These are cut out and pasted against
thin cardboard for place cards, candle
shades, banners and wall decorations.
They are used to dress tables instead
Of linen, and there are paper napkins
In keeping.
Instead of the usual genuine pump
kin, jack-o'-lanterns are made over a
big wire frame of plain yellow paper
and face painted on with black and
white water colors. Or the face may
be cut from printed paper and pasted
OH the lantern. This is suspended over
the dining table and similar lanterns
are hung In other rooms or the hall.
The fringed strips of paper are used
for festoons and these paper decora-
lions are improved If autumn leaves
are used with them.

The average woman may have little
nse for very elaborate negligees, but
Tor daintlness, loneliness Of color and
simplicity she has an instructive long
ing. These always appeal to her and
SPECIALISTS in the manufacture Of neg
lIgees understand this-so that the
bulk Of their output combines just
these elements. "Negligee" is term
that includes a very wide variety of
garments-inspired by the garb of
many peoples-for 1t is in the seclu-
sion of home that women may indulge
themselves in the fanciful.. Japan and
China contribute much and we have
interpreted their ideas to suit our
selves besides buying generously of
their productions. France is On ex-
haustIess source Of inspiration and

time. adopting and adapting ideas ac-
cording to our own needs.
Our needs demand at least ten neg
hgees that are simple and pretty,
dalntily made in lovely colors, to one
that is elaborate.
Morning jackets and coats Of taffeta
silk in gay colors, to be worn with
iace-trimmed petticoats are popular,
because they embody the things we
like best, and negligees of the char
acter of the two shown here are in
constant demand. All these appear in

In the plain tailored blouses high

up the front, including the collar with
small buttons. Round necHs and those
with ev" shaped openings continue to

The lantern at the center Is made
OF printed crepe paper and Is to pc

with short, narrow strips of crepe pa

paper stuffed with cotton. Below the
lanterns are two place cards cut from
printed paper, mounted on thin card

cardboard in which the gents names
are written. The last figure at the

There is nothing formal about the
Halloween party-it is frolic.
Games and pastimes for the evening
are to be planned ahead-the merrieE

plenty of thrilling and romping games
for the youngsters. 1t is paper fesg

A bottle 23O feet high and so feet in

from one New Years Eve to another.
The amount Of grain used in the manu-
facture of alcoholic beverages always plays
an important part in arguments for and
against prohibition. Advocates of prOhi-
bitiOn insist that all these millions Of
bushels Of cereals should be
made to serve some more
useful purpose. The oppon- &@
ents of prohibition declare
that the farmers will sorely
miss the profitable markets furnished for
large share of their products by the dis
tilleries and breweries.
Certainly We shall have more grain to
use for food after the nation is bone
dry"-52, 100000 bushels a year of barley
and 15,O00,000 bushels of corn, not to men,
tion large amounts of rye, rice and other
cereals.
The totaS grain consumed annually in
the manufacture Of alcoholic beverages
would make more than 1000, 900 900 loaves
of bread.
These loaves rolled into one would make

Such loaf would be sufficient to supply
the entire population of the United States
with bread for three months. It would

More than 100000 acres Of land was re-
Quired to raise the 10000, 900 bushels of
grain used annually by the liquor industry.
A basket large enough to hold this crop
would have to be 4S0 feet high and 72O
feet in diameter at the top.
The very hugeness Of these figures en-
phasizes the fact that millions and mil
lions of American voters must have been
drinking men-all this ocean of beer.
liquor and wine was bought and drunk by
somebody every year. And yet nobody
fought any organized fight against pro-
hibition. 1t is expected that the same lack
of organization Of the smokers will make
the no-tobacco crusade fairly easy.

Some very interesting statistics have
been worked out in regard to the great
business and Industrial changes which
nationwide prohibition will accomplish.
Such a change in the lives and habits
of millions Of people and the disposition
Of billions of dollars worth of property as
the ratification Of this amendment will
bring is something probably more sweep
ing than the world has ever seen.
Mere words fail to convey an adequate
idea of the epoch-making consequences OF
suddenly wiping out the liquor industry
throughout the length and breadth of the
nation. Pictures and diagrams like those
presented on this page can alone enable
us to visualize to a limited degree a few
of the social and economic results Of this
revolutionary undertaking.

I'm the city Of New York alone nearly
million dollars is spent for drink every

city's expenditure for alcoholic thirst
quenchers amounts to nearly four times
the country's annual gold production.
New Iork's drink bill for a year would
pay the annual salaries of all the public

If poured out over the ground it would

There will be enormous and incalculable
losses in lines of business not necessarily
associated with the liquor traffic but de-
irving great profit from il. These include
manufacturers and dealers in barrels, bot
ties. corks. beer pumps, bar fixtures, glass
ware, refrigeratOrs, ice machines and many
other things.
Not all the liquor is carried by the rail-
roads but what was transported IN TINS
way i'm 1917 amounted TO 100000 tons
This is about 213 per cent of all the traffic
derived from manufacturing industries.
If one years supply of liquor for the
United States were all carried in cars of

Through prohibition the Federal Gov.

towns and cities $52000,00O.

What does that day mean to

Why should we not get toeeth-
er once year, and at this time,
and not only pay honor to those
that are gone but also TO talk
over old times and to renew old
acquaintanceS and help to keep
up some of the causes and ,tr2di
tons that we were fighting for?
