Halloween
The name Halloween is given to
the night of October 81. 1t is the
evening before All Saints day. There
are many supertitions connected
with Halloween, and it is possible
to have very attractive entertain
ments.
Black and yellow and red are the
colors most used, ard everyone is
familiar with the pumpkin, with
candle light showing grotesque faces.
The old game of bobbing apples
from a tub of water, or tying the
apples to a strong cord fastened to
nails across a wide doorway. Blow
ing the candle to find how many
years before marriage, and the APP
pie seed test-"One l love, two l
love, three 1 love I say four L love
with all my heart, five | cast away,
six he loves, seven she loves, eight
both love, nine he comes, ten he tar
ries, eleven he courts, twelve we
marry"
PAIRING apples-the peel thrown
over the left shoulder after carrying
on floor and the initial of the future
bride or groom will be formed by
the peeling.
Many attractive score cards. nov
elites, cats, pumpkins and ghosts
can be made, and endless delicious
refreshments can be served from APP
pies, nuts, pumpkins, popcorn, pi-
mento cheese sandwiches and cider.

Dora Geneva King, of Halcyon-
dale, Ga, sends us the following rec
ipe for walnut candy. You will
soon have the black walnuts and
they are delicious in this candy:
Three cups of brown sugar, l cup
of milk, butter size of walnut, one
cup Of broken waInuts, one tea
spoonful Of vanilla, pinch of salt.
Boil sugar, milk and butter until
firm when tried in cold water. Re
move from fire and stir. When par
TALLY cool add walnuts and vanilla,
beat until creamy and pour into but
tered pans to cool, cut into squares.
Thank you, Dora, we will give
some of your other recipes in an
other issue. Dora would like to ex-
change some crochet for some Octa-
gon soap wrappers.
JEANNE:
You can not dye a dark brown
blue, a cloth must always be dyed
darker shade or color. Why not
have your dress dipped the same
shade and change the trimming?
Louis:
Don't wear a lot of jewelry to
school, the simpler a schoolgirl
dresses the better taste she shows.
l see no objection to a string of
beads, and a watch is really neces-
Sary.
Mrs. r.:
If it is very cold where you live
[ would certainly suggest bloomer
dresser for your four-year-old twins
made of Niyella flannel. This costs
a little more in the beginning, but
it is warm and it does wear splen-
dldly. Send me a stamped address
ed envelope and 1 will be glad to
send you samples and prices.
