N0W approaches the .."witch's
hour, when, hand In hand with
jack o' lantern, she Is pre
pared to scamper across the
curtain for an .Interlude of
harmless frolic.
The black cat Is with us again, and
the bat, and the owl. The caldron "
bubbles, the chestnuts burn upon the "
hearth, the halloween cake gives up Us
ghostly prophecy of wealth, matrimony
or a' life of 6ingle blessedness.
In a thousand boarding schools a
thousand girls will creep down - the
cellar stairs holding a mirror and a
candle as the hour strikes 12, looking
fearfully for the reflected face which Is
to tell them of the future; and in more
than a thousand apartment houses—
where there are no cellar stairs —
young women will eat an apple before
a mirror and hold a candle by whose
light they expect to see " that same
prophetic visjon.
If It weren't for jack o' lantern the
celebration of halloween might be
rather a gloomy effair, for looking into
the future In darkened rooms and
watching one's fellow chestnut hop
away from' one on the hearth are not
elways cheerful diversions; but jack o'
lantern, the king of the night, is the
Jolliest of presiding geniuses, and, be
sides, there is the hailoween feast, a ,
most tempting repast, to keep one's
spirits from flagging in the, midst of
the general unloosing of the black
arts.
HALLOWEEN, festivities' are always
very popular with girls, and they
are possible for every one. for
the celebration of the night has one
great advantage In the fact that its
mystic rites and ceremonies can be
just as well and happily performed by
three or four persons as by a large
nymber. Naturally the sort of hallow r
een entertainment which is arranged
for a small gathering is not satisfac
tory for a large one. It has usually
been found that there is more fun to be
had by going through the oldtime hal
loween rites quite seriously when tlie
party is small, while for a large affair
this sort of diversion is hardly suffi
ciently general, and instead there fs
dancing, possibly a halloween cotillon
and a supper with quaint and gro
tesque favors. \u25a0*.*:-
Masquerade parties are also popular
for halloween. especially In girls'*
boarding schools, and afford no end
of fun if the masks are kept on until
the'close of the evening, so that iden
tity of the dancers canj-n-ot be posi
tively known.
There are so many halloween sym
bols that whether an ordinary dance, a
cotillon or a masquerade is being ar
ranged there is abundance, of pictur
esque material upon which one can
draw for decorative materials," favors,
costumes, -etc. No halloween masque
1«' complete without its witch. Its jack
o' lantern, black cat, owl and bat, all
to be represented in some way or other
by the men or girls taking part.

masquerade given at a girls'
school last year. Fairyland was
boldly raided for the characters, and
fyaxy girl was asked to come as some
on« of "the little people," either as a
historical character or some particular

«dy most amusing 1 , but beautiful as

How to Make a Motoring Veil
EVERT o c ne has a motoring veil, and
many and varied are the kinds used.
,F«t? women or, girls can be said to
look really pretty in one of these veils,
but there are many degrees of attrac
tiveness about them, and still greater
differences of convenience, which, after
ail. Is the really important point. Some

blow oft In a high wind, so it Is really
worth while to make' one properly.
An English motoring veil which :Is
most satisfactory is made In the fol

ton or chiffon cloth and cut* It in half
lengthwise * from one end fc> a point
to Inches . from the other end. Hem
It across the two pieces of the lower

outer edges will, of course, be selvages.
Then, where the ellt stops, it must be
closely buttonholed to prevent tearing
farther. \u25a0
The upper end may be. arranged , in
two ways. The'simplest^and easiest -is

evolve the costumes, but not as much t
expense as might be! thought, on first'
consideration, for many «f the .cos
tumes were made entirely of crepe
paper, and in all of .them this ma
terial entered largely. . ' ' •
Black paper was most •.effective for
the witch's ' costume and for that of
the owl and black cat. Poor pussy

the guests all- appear as fruits .of
the •autumn. There must of course
be some liberty permitted in this sort
of character costuming, for while it Is
comparatively easy for a \u25a0 properly
built young person to appear as' an ear
of corn,; it Is rather difficult for her or
him to assume tho exact proportions
of a tomato. A lettuce girl, with full
shaded green skirts of crinkled paper

grape costume, the autumn leaf cos

usually considered wise for the girl
to select fruit and vegetable cos
tumes which are pretty and becoming,
while the boys, with their customary
gallantry, volunteer fcr the grotesque

Pumpkin vines, and autumn leaves
are charming decorations for large
rooms In^which halloween frolics are
to be held, and there are also paper
draperies stamped with appropriate de
signs which come especially for, the
walls and tables. Large witches' black
cats and- owls made 'of. black paper are
used here and there among the decora
tions or perched on chandeliers, lamp
shades or over doorways. Jack,o' lan
terns', real or imitation, are the most
popular lights for the festivities. If
real they may be , set on the table or
hung In different quarters of the room.
The imitation ones are in the form of
lanterns. Jamp shades and candle
shades. .
ALL the fruits, vegetables and nuts
are used for halloween decora
tions. Branches from; nut trees
with the nuts still on. are the motif^ of
some of the draperies to beffound In

are all considered suitable. : For favors

SOCIAL AMENITIES FOR

A HABIT of punctuality, will do more ,
to,w[n'popularity and will. bring in .
its path, more fun and pleasure than
any other one characteristic, Once a
girl is :known*"to be : unpunctual she
will be left, out of "many a spree .ar

requiring an instantaneous start. -"Oh,

Oldtime halloween rites include the
mirror gazing, the burning of chest
nuts, apple paring, carrying the candle
and cutting the halloween cake. Ther*
are also bobbin'? for apples and the
game of biting the applet which, how
ever, are not nece'ssarlly halloween
sports.
Mirror gazing must" take place at
midnight. The person who la per
" forming the rite must be quite alone
In the room, which should be dark
except for the candle she holds. She
eats an apple and looks straight in
the mirror as the clock strikes twelve.
She Is rewarded by seelns her future
husband's face in the mirror.
• The other method of practicing hal
loween mirror gazing requires even
more; courage. The girl takes her can
dle and a small hand mirror and goes
alone "down the cellar steps. ". At the
. mystic, hour she ** S( > se « har * uturtt
BURNING or roastlnff chestnuts on
the hearth is a tried old custom.
The girl names a chestnut for her
self and one foV the young man she
supposes may probably be her future
fate. .The nuts are then placed side by
side on the hearth. If they burn quietly
away together it Is prophetic of a
happy^ marriage. If they pop away
from each other it is assign that they
will not be happy with each other.
Whichever one pops away first Is the
least devoted.
Apple paring — and paring Is rather
difficult. An apple which has a smooth
skin should be selected and a large
one Is best- It must be evenly pared,
so that the skin holds together and
is about the same width. When finished
- the paring Is taken by one end and
tossed over the shoulder. As it falls
on the floor it may form a letter. If
so, this is the first-letter of the Chris
tian name of one's future husband or
wife.
Carrying the candle should tak©
place outside the house. This would
of course be difficult In a city, but In
the country or suburbs could easily be
managed. Each guest Is supplied with
a candle, which is lighted, and they
start around the house In two pro
cessions, the boys on one side, the
girls on the other. If they get back
tto the point from which they started
without having the candles go out
they are sure to be married.
At small or informal halloween af
fairs the supper provided usually In
cludes sandwiches, nuts, fruits, cider
and the halloween cake. If - the af
fair Is more elaborate salads and Ices
• may be added. Halloween revels are
apt- to be late and the repast should
be rather substantial. Salads made
] of apples or nuts are particularly suit
able and the ice should be In the form
of apples, pumpkins or nuts. For
the more simple halloween banquet
It is amusing to have plain cakes,
ginger cake anil cookies, * cut In
halloween shapes.
short here and there wherever possible.
Soon it will be easier to plan the day
and put Into It all the same amount
of work and pleasure as before, but at
more, possible intervals. It la a splen
did thing for a girl's life to be a full
one — full of pleasure and work com
bined — for there is no life so happy as
a busy one; but even a busy life can
be a selfish one if others can not ba
taken sufficiently into consideration In
the day's scheme that they shall never
be forced to. lose any of their time by
one's own tardiness.
The girl who hopes for popularity
among her brothers and her brothers'
friends had best acquire quickly the
habit of punctuality. There Is, per
haps, nothing which so irritates the
opposite sex as to be kept waiting, and
to be forced to sit Idle waiting for a
woman who "all day long has nothing
in . the ; world . to do* is unpardonable.
They may keep us waiting, of course,
these lords of creation, but that is. a
different matter, and the girl who puts
the right value on a good time will do
well to learn early -how to please these
lordly beings. And. viewed from their
standpoint; girls never . can be busy,
so* it is no .wonder that big brother
