ARE YOU GIVING A HALLOW-
ZEN PARTY THIS YEAR7

Verify life is what we make it. II we
make it jolly, it is a happy life; # We
never seek diversion of the company OF
| friends, il is bound TO be dreary. II any
woman who is reading this has never
given partv-or doesn't give them fire.
uuently l want to advise her strongly to
begin giving them right now, starting
with a Halowe en- party on the 3lst.
Il don't give them because | can't
afford TO give parties, | know some Of
you are saying, in protest. The kind of
party | refer to, however, is not the ex-
pensive kind; il is the kind that is in the
reach of ALL If YOU can't afford stream
ers of black and yellow crepe paper TO
decorate with, then bring IN some autumn
leaves land, il possible, cornstalks,) and
dress up the house with these. That takes
care of the atmosphere of your Halo
we'en party.
Refreshments are the next considera-
ton. These of course do require some
monetary output but they need not be
elaborate refreshments. Just sandwiches
fruit punch, macaroons, nuts and home
made candies are all that are necessary.
The money for these may be saved in
some way--bys walking to save carfare.
for instance, or by going TO the movies a
little less frequently, or by going with
out some other luxury which every one
of us indulge in, ! know of woman
who stopped having her daily paper de-
livercd for a while, in order TO save for
a party Il believe she went 10 the pub
lie library every day and read the news
papers there) There is always some
way, to save for definite purpose such
as this, if we only think il out.
When we have oiu decorations plan.
ned and our refreshments money saved
up, the rest is smooth sailing. For games
glorious, youth-recalling games--will b,
our third and last consideration Games
don't cost anything, and yet they are th'
best part of party. II you englnee
your guests into a merry whlrl OF games
they won't know what the decoration
are nor what they have eaten at the re
freshments hour; they will be having too
good time.
Next Monday ! am going to devot,
this entire column to directions 70
games suitable to play on Halowe EN-
