Back quarter of a century ago house. holders at this time of the year would take in their front and backyard gates, every proper household possessing them. For if they weren't removed the youth of the neighborhood would see to the job and many were the odd and remarkable spots from which gates have been recov- cred in the days following the Halloween celebration. It wasn't one night affair then; it lasted three to four evenings.

Selected Poem

OCTOBER GALE '(Marjorie Fairbanks Mott in The Christian
 Science Monitor) The leaves blow off in multitudes And wing their glory down Upon the children of the earth, The pavements of the town. , Gray squirrels hunt for hazel-nuts And frisk their frosty tails While bright-cheeked boys and girls scuff by, Or run with the wind like sails Bright leaves in whispering multitudes Blow high against the hedge; And merry waves with snowy caps Scallop the blue lakes edge.

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS
1885 NEA

New York, Oct. 29.-From a Columnist's Notebook: Over at the enticingly named Caprice Room of the Weylin, fall gala brought out the stunningly gowned Gladys George, Joan Bennett and her we'll i groomed spouse, Gene Markey of the Hollywood scenario shops.
 And the graceful dancers, Dario & Diane who seemed, while loi- tered with them behind the corri- dor draperies before their turn, to be perishing with stagefright. A moment later, when they were in- troduced, they made grand en- trance onto the dance floor. But behind their smiling nonchalance, they huttered with fear.
 For a midnight bite, Billys Gay Nineties Bar in the place. Swing ing doors on the way in, suds on the looking glass and constabu- lary doorman on the way out. But no Cherry Sisters. The Cherry Sis- ters, hauled back from their Me- braskan homestead, to entertain the barf1ies at Billy's Gay Nine- ties, tarried a week and returned west.
 Disappointment
 On the following night, to the premiere of "Eden End", J. B. Priestley play imported from Eng land, it seemed 8 dull contraption for the Broadway stage. Besides, the British players mumbled their lines, la Picadilly I guess, so that they were difficult to understand without straining an ear. ..
 Then, there was also a tedious session at the premiere of a Broad- way piece called Strip Girl", which deals with the private life of bur- lesque queen off the illuminated runway. A gaudy play. But it was interesting to note that in Row A, center seat, sat Gypsy Rose Lee, crowned queen of Manhattan's bur- lesque, and I wondered what she thought when the undraped heroine the show remarked, No dramatic career for me. Every timeI hear applause, start disrobing"
 As an antidote to this unalluring evening, I paused a moment at af- fable Tony,s place to spot the Tones, Joan and Franchot, slipping after-diner cognacs in company with Lynn Riggs, the Oklahoma dramatist in whose Green Grow the Lilacs" the personable Franchot got his first Broadway opportunity. Imitation
 A brief stop afterward at the fashionable Sixty Club, which in years past went by the name of Mayfair and among the tablehold- CTS were Richard Barthelmess, Lee Tracy, Peggy Fears, the young, lit erary Carmal Barnes and the dim inutive Ernest Truex.
 On strolling through the theater sector, it occurred to me Earl Car- rolls influence is being felt. For, above the stage alley gate of his spectacle, Sketch Book, is posted the usual legend, Through These Portals Pass the Most Beautiful Girls in the World" and on the threshold of his kid-show, "Re- member the Day., Phil Dunning has tagged the. sign, Through These Portals Pass the Most Un- spoiled Children in the World" And

This prophecy will probably fail. But something is left of every big, sincere movement. From now on, by slower and more logical processes, the old people of this country will get squarer deal from society and government. And a mild old California doctor, supposedly retired from active life, will have hastened the reform by decade or two.

Hillman-Curl, Inc, enters the
publishing field with "The Rocky
Road to Jericho" an intense por-
trayal of the Mormon's fight for
a foothold in America.
Frank Chester Field, who has
lived for many years with these
people and who is familiar with
their practical hardShips as we'll
as their religious battles, is the
author.
Picking up the thread Of the
battle just after the sect had been
turned out of 1Iissouri with blood
shed and persecution. Mr.. Field
carries the people in their migra-
ton across the West to Utah.
The style is reportorial to a
marked degree, and takes its hu'
man qualities from a persistence
to set down impartially incidents
in the lives of a people who were
still men, women and children
despite their self-Styled classifica-
ton as saints.
On their trek westward they
are faced with starvation and
harried by Indians. At the end of
their march they are faced with
the practical problems of building

to be considered and obstacles
coped with.
The bumble-bee, for instance, is
the natural pollinator. In his
search for the nectar, he inadver-

bud to another and in this way
would tend to throw monkey
wrench into DR.. Magruder'S plans
to grow pumpkins as he wants
them grown. =
No bee bothers DR.. Magruder's
buds.
Before the bees are due on
their pollination tour, the pump
kin buds are carefully closed with
q rubber band and the bees must,
seek their nectar elsewhere. After,
the plant has been pollinated as
called for by the rules, the bud
is closed again so that no acct.
dental hybrid will intrude to spoil
everything. OF such stuff are
perfect pumpkins grown. ...
With plants having smaller
flowers, the rubber band method
is discarded in favor of the pa.

paper sack is tied over the bloom
and the bees are just as COM

staid landscapes.
Mr.. Seymour's etchings are
characterized, in most instances,
by their action, by the presence
Of figures of men and womes4 in
animated scenes.
The artist has the knack Of
rrawing large groups Of people
in clearly defined lines, with
every figure standing cut as an
individual entity.
One of his etchipgs in par
ticular Is striking in this respect.
His BLACK Friday in Chicago"
showing the Chicago Stock Ex-
change, pictures more than q
hundred figures in action, each
one carrying out the theme Of
the etching.
The first one on his list.
"Paris Wine Shop" which also
carries out this characteristic
in his work, just took the $500
prize from the Chicago Society
OF EtcherS.
Although there are numerous
lovely landscapes and street
scenes in his collection, Mr.. Sey-
mour has several other etchings
which make him outstanding for
their living quality.
There are, for instance, More
Trouble" picturing a down-and-
outer looking at hole in his shoe;
''Luck with Alcario," showing sew
eral men grouped about q gam
ing table; "Beggar's Court, Sego-
via," where the beggars clearly
show their own thoughts; "And
So Tc Bed" lovely picture of a
young girl preparing to go to
sleep; "Joe'S oyster Bar" where
three men are shown enjoying the
oysters; "The Big Top" in which
the circus people are preparing
for tho big show, and "ShoShone
Indian Squaw Dance" whose title
explains the action in the picture
Mr.. Seymour, in addition to his
prominence in etching, has de.
signed and printed many fine and
limited editions of books. He
taught decorated illustration
classes in the Chicago School for
nine years.
