For the Hostess
Hallowe'en Suggestions.
Hallowe'en Is almost here and with
Its approach come voluminous letters
from excited youngsters all bubbling
over with curiosity as to what is to
be done and how to do it. To many it
is a first' experience: there are. others
who want "something new," and -there
are others who want to give "sur
prise' parties. To -each one Madame
Merrl hopes to give Just the necessary
suggestions, but she must say that
about the only way to plan a Hallow
e'en party Is to do the old time-hon
ored stunts, perhaps with new settings.
Where It Is possible, make a tour of
the shops, visit the favor counters;
they are full of clever things. Where
this Is impossible, we feel sure that to
day's department will contain enough
for every one who Is going to cele
brate on. the last day of this glorious
red and yellow October. j -
Traditions and legends do not
change, it is only the novelty of our
carrying them out; It is a blessed pro
vision made by a wise and loving Fa
ther that all things are new to the in
dividual, though the things themselves
are as old as time Itself.
If one has only a wee bit of talent
with pencil and brush with the paste-
pot's aid most charming invitations
and favors may be made at home.
Half the fun of a party is the prep
aration and happy anticipation. Cut
Hallowe'en designs from paper nap
kins, paste on cards or thin pieces of
wood, then write the name or invita
tion. A new favor consists of tiny
wire corn poppers filled with real pop
corn which will pop when held over
candles. Imagine a table set with
these poppers at each place, the name
tied on the handle, a candle in a car
rot candlestick in front of each plate.
What fun for the guests.
Pumpkin and "Jack O'Lantern"
seals are for sale, also all sorts and
conditions of witches; some astride
the proverbial broomstick, some with
cats and some without. There is yet
ample time to plan Just the very love
liest kind of a party.
Hallowe'en Fun.
How many have ever tried an "owl
hunt?" To each guest give a wooden
gun such as may be purchased at a
toy shop for a few cents, and tell him
to hunt owls. First, of course, tnese
funny little gray paper owls decorated
with water colors must be hidden
throughout the rooms. Ordinary gray
owls count five, white owls count ten
and horned owls count fifteen. Each
bird has a looped bit of red string tied
through a punched hole, so it may be
hung on the gun. This makes great
sport, the one bagging the most owls
and the one who has the fewest being
award a prize.
I have not tried this next 3tunt, but
I am told that fortunes may be writ
ten on white paper with milk held
over the heat from a lamp or gas jet.
The milk letters will turn brown so
the writing is perfectly plain. The for
tune slips can be distributed by a lit
tle fairy, then each guest takes one
at a time Into a room where a wizard
is hidden who, with a magic lamp, in
terprets the writing. Ail such things
add to the mystery of a party.
Provide each guest with a neat bun
dle of faggots and tell him he must
tell a mystery story while they burn.
This is only practical where there is a
large open fireplace around which the
guests may gather. Have plenty of
cushions and no light save perhaps a
candle or "Jack" here and there. If
some of the guests have been asked
to prepare for this part of the pro
gram, so much the better, but many
people do better on the spur of the
moment.
Making tissue paper pumpkin caps
Is a favorite stunt. The hostess pre
via es stiff cardboard for the rims and
plenty of orange creDe naner with
some green paper and tubes of library
paste, some coarse needles and thread.
mis is especially good for young girls
of twelve to fifteen, as they -are Just
at the age when thev love to make
things. The caps are worn the rest
oi me evening.
A Witch and Goblin Party.
Children deariv love to d
and the party described will delight
them. Ask the girls to come as witch
es in scarlet frocks or capes, with tall
Diacc nats. and the boys as goblins,
The beloved "brownies" will serve as
models for the boys' costumes. Just
for this one occasion set the hours
from "9 to 12," for it really would not
be a true hallow eve nartv if thev
could not stay until the "clock in the
sieepie strikes twelve,'' that witching
hour when ghosts walk, when cold
chills run down one's back and that
delicious creepy sensation comes when
trying the charms that must be done
precisely at the mysterious midnight
hour. It may be a little hard on
mothers and chaperones, but they
must all smile and look happy on
hallow e'en night and do their part
to placate the evil spirits. A cotillion
with appropriate favors Is the best
wind-up for this party and the guests
are supposed to be from twelve to six
teen years of age.
A Hallowe'en Party Prize.
This idea may be utilized not only
for a card party prize, but for any
stunt for which the hostess chooses
to offer a reward. Get . a nicely
formed golden yellow pumpkin, hollow
out carefully and line with waxed pa
per. Then if the really clever imita
tion vegetable candies are obtainable,
fill with these delicious concoctions.
They come in the shape of carrots,
corn kernels, potatoes and many kinds
of fruits such as cherries, currants,
and even many kinds of nuts are imi
tated. If these sweets are not to be
had, fill the pumpkin with home-made
goodies, which will prove Just as ac
ceptable. Replace the top of the
pumpkin and tie down, with green rib
bon. A cabbage may be arranged in
the same way,- filling with chestnuts,
if desired, for a booby or consolation
prize.

A very useful rack for boots and
shoes is the subject of the accom
panying sketch, and it Is a simple
contrivance that may be arranged
low down In the recess of a wall, or
In the lower part of a cupboard, or
across the corner of a room.
It Is very necessary to assign a
place for boots and shoes, when they
are removed, where they may be more
or less out of sight; but the particular
advantage of the rack Illustrated Is
that the boots are held in such a po
sit! an that the soles are exposed ' to
the air, and therefore, should they be
damp when taken off, will dry much
more quickly on a rack of this kind
than if placed on the floor.
The sketch shows very clearly the
nature of the rack, which consists of
four bars of wood (old broom handles
would quite well answer the purpose)
fixed across a recess in the wall. Two
of the bars are fastened within an
inch or so of the wall, and the other
two are fastened in front of them and
a trifle lower down. Nails run
through the end of the wood In a
slanting direction and into the wall will
quite well hold them in their place,
and it is an easy matter to arrange
a little curtain in front should it ' be
desired to hide the rack from view;
and in a bedroom this, perhaps, would
be desirable, but In a cupboard r It
would of course be unnecessary.
A man may consider himself truly
famous when he has five-cent cigars
and yellow dogs named after him.
The shortest words sometimes carry
the most weight. -
