Your Halloween Party!
CYNTHIA GREY PLAYS HOSTESS
BY CYNTHIA GREY

ID VI ~ MA ~ II Il
THE girl hostess who is
l. planning a Halloween
party will find half the sue
cess of her party due 10 care
full lighting arrangements.
The lightS-unlesS a bright
one is necessary for some
particular game-Should be
dim and Pickering. Candles
best achieve this effect. Faint
wavering light will immedi-
ately suggest the occult and
unusual 10 Halloween guests
and will create a "Spooky"
atmosphere. If electric lights
are used. the shades should
be lined with green tissue
paper
Try greens, grayS, and an
occasional CLEAN of orange
for a color scheme. The grays
will lend a vagueness and
mystery that is most intrigu-
ing. A gray bat made of
wire and cheeSecloth sus-
pended in such a way that he
gently flutters at every open
ed door will be more effec-
tive than a black one. And
gray witches sailing on their
broomsticks to wipe the cob
webs out of the sky are more
mysterious than dead black
witches.
INVITATIONS
Novel invitations can be easily
made at home, Cut from yellow
cardboard. shapes OF witches or
grinning pumpkin heads etc. and

heavy black lettering:
Spooks and witches. elves and
gnomes, demons seen and unseen.

AT the
Sign of

A man came in yesterday to buy Bradbury
Overcoat. He showed us the overcoat he was
wearing 1t was Bradbury, bought three years
ago. 1t still looked well. 1t still retained its
original lines. And he wanted another like it.
That's why he came to us.
In one sense this is bad business, because we
would rather sell a man a new overcoat every
year. But in another sense, it is good business,
because it proved that our customers are sat
isfied.
Our customers know that Bradbury Clothes
are correctly tailored. They can see that they
are smartly fashioned. They realize the prices
are right,
That's the reason they keep coming back to
buy from us year after year.
And another reason that we have had over
225,000 customers during last year is our always
courteous, efficient service, coupled with the con-
venience of our Credit Gladly plan, which allows
arrangement of multiple payments to suit your
convenience.

DISCUSS AMATEURS
Scandinavian Athletic Associations Plan For Olympics -- Borg And Nurmi Are Classified.

Paris. March 3. A dispatch to I'Auto from Oslo, Norway, reports a meeting held by representatives of the athletic interests of the four Scandinavian countries Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland--to consider the attitude they would adopt at the approaching interna- tional Olympic congress at Progue. It was agreed, says the message, that these countries advocate a re- duction in the program for the next Olympic games, the view being taken that the extent of the program plac- cd at q disadvantage the smaller countries which were unable to command large funds to support the games
 The definition of an amateur was discussed without any definite con- clusiOns being reached. The cor respondent says, however, that it appeared that Arne Borg, the Swed- ish swimmer, and Paavo Nurmi, Fin nish runner, were held to have re- tained their amateur status.
