HALLOWEEN PARTIES
FOR THIS YEAR
Merry Making Season of De-
lightful Weather Will Be
Observed By Young
People.
FOR CELEBRATIONS
Masquerade Parties Afford Jolly
Evenings.

The last evening in October has for
many years been given over to
merry-makers to enjoy festival of
harmless fun, by masquerading and
indulging in pranks, which afford
amusement.
The uncouth acts Of the ignorant
and roughneck element, that once had
much to do with this Halloween cele-
bration, the destruction of property
and playing dangerous pranks, which
brought suffering and pain to the vic
Tins, are all things of the past; while
the spirit of happiness and merry
making supplies an evening that is
enjoyed by the young folks, especially
and the aged in quiet enjoyment.
Halloween parties have grown in
popularity of recent years and the
games and fancy costumes worn at
such affairs are worth in pleasure, all
that the time and effort absorbed to
stage them has taken from the young
folks.
The stores of Milford that carry or
make a speciality of the Halloween
materials, are displaying them in
their windows, but as yet have not
advertised that fact to the people who
reside at a distance, or who do not
daily look into the show windows.
Probably the supplies required for
Halloween party can be secured in
Milford; but, the following item ap-
peared in The North American last
Sunday, and it may offer some sug-
gestions that will be helpful to those
interested-for that reason it is re-
produced in the Milford Chronicle as
follows:
"I have just been shopping for Hal
lowe'en costumes" says Miss Ernes-
tine Allen, who buys things in the
Philadelphia stores for out-of-town
readers of the North American with

81 received a few requests from some
of my young friends to help them fix
up for this time-honored night of
and the consequence is
that my tour of shops and stores in
their interest has made me enthusiasts
tic for Halloween.
81 found the most charming and in
teresting masque costumes. Here was
a Three-oClock- in-the-M Morning in
hour. The hat was a headband with
pompOm. A Butterfly costume danced
in gold and rainbow hues. Wild Fire
was brilliant in red, topped by hat
with fan-shaped back.
ENVY, Night, Youth, Dawn, Bubbles
all were provided with appropriate
costumes of dress and hat. An oriental
costume called Tuteese was gorgeous
