And then drifting to us through the dark

most blood chilling sounds ever hope to hear.
They started as half groan, had the music
We had previously heard, but this time there
was no music Instead there a wild,
crazy laugh. 1t is almost impossible to de-

Seubtaring Popcorn

A POPCORN party makes fine amusement
~ for Winter evening.
Corn may be popped over the hot GOALS of
an open fireplace or ON the kitchen stove.
One of the oId-fashioned peppers with a wire
mesh top and long handle is best to held
the corn, but any long handled pan with a
tightly fitting top win serve.
The simplest way to prepare the corn after
it is popped is to add lots OF butter and salt.
But another way is to make popcorn balls,
using a mixture of sirup or molasses to hold
the kernels together. And here's where lot
of the fun comes in.
ALI the guests at your party can be given
some of the corn and permitted to shape ID In

to house can be formed from the sticky corn,
