rHE jolly festival of Halloween is

in sight and imaginative people
may turn loose their fancies and
let them frolic among spooks and
fairies. Young people and children
enjoy this prankish festival more
than any other, except Christmas.
In the shops that carry crepe paper
and colored papers of other kinds,
there are all sorts of funny and grue-
some suggestions in the matter of
dressing up the house and the table
for Halloween party. They present
what their agents have found in the
realm where witches, black cats,
sprites, ghosts and strange creatures
frolic under the autumn moon in the
fields where the big yellow pumpkins
lie. Having set down Their findings in
black and yellow and white on paper
they leave it to merrymakers to be-
gin where they leave off and fashion
such things as are shown above.
Only two light shades or candle
shades are pictured, both of them a
combination of yellow and black pa
per with a few touches of black and
white water-color paint. One of the
shades is cats face of orange pa
per with black ears. The paper is
pasted against a cardboard founda-
ton, two faces Joined by strips at the
sides and supported by ordinary can
dle-shade holders or with wire. In the
other shade, Jack-o'-Lantern sports a
long beard of black crepe paper and
has black horns.

TWO notable elements apparent

decided uniformity in the matter
of the design and the popular
Bateau neckline. For this sim
