AMONG US GIRLS
Dear Girls;

Dear Girls;
The Halloween table on which the
dainties are served must be decorated
appropo of the occasion. There is nc
need of using our best linen on this
accession at all, in first place the tons
OF the party is frisky and nine chances
out of ten some mishap is going to
cause something to happen to it, so
just put it away for a milder occa-
sion.
String orange aad black, twisted
crepe paper from the central chand-
elier to the sides of the room. Cut
the crepe paper in very narrow strips
and hang it from the central fixture
with little black cats at the end of
each streamer and a witch riding the
broom from the cente This viii
give the fixture an effect similar to the
cut crystal chandeliers which are
popular in the best homes in the
country at present. The table itself
should be covered with pumpkin crepe
paper and q souvenir of some sort
suitable to the evening should be at
each place. Draw pumpkin faces in
black and white on the paper nap
kins. Use cards with little fortune
telling jingles on the back. Stack
corn shocks around the room and be

are using gas be sure and keep the
paper far away from it; cause strange
as it may seem a fire is not a very
interesting feature of the evening. If
you have electric lights cover your
bulbs with colored paper in order to
subdue the lighting effect. No lights
except candles, one at each place, is
very novel and mysterious and electric
candle sticks with deep orange bulbs
are very pretty.

NDear Helen and Girls:
Il have wanted to write to the
column but I can never find time. At
ter this I will try to find time to write
to this wonderful column. I am al
sophomore in High school and am
light compleetioned. brown eyes and
-1-rrm pretty tall. / Weigh 1f6 pounds
and am IA years old.
Would like to relate an adventure
j a last year. l know most every
girl likes an adventure. / was at the
Catskill mountains for my vacation
that veal One day some girls decided
to go exploring, we went through
roads and climbed hills and finally
when we came through some rocksI
we espied a cave Some girls get
frightened and would scream, but of
course we didn't. Nobody wanted to
go in but I finally decided to go so I
got a piece of pine wood and lighted
1t. I went in and what do you sup-I
pose I saw. I know every one will
be wondering, so I will not keep you
any longer in suspense. 1t was a usual
cave. 1t had a mattress and on the
mattress was an old man. He was
sick so I called over the girls and told
them about it. One of the girls went
for a doctor and we gave the man
in charge of the doctor.
IT guess I wrote too much already
so I will close my letter.
KITTY"
I have changed you name from
sBetty'' to "Kitty" do you mind? You
see we have already another Betty.
Do tell us more about your ave nan
Your letter was like a story running
serially, you just get interested when
1t says, continued next month. Write
