Soca. Bellefonte, Pa., October 28, 1921. R BR com HALLOWE'EN. I'd be willing to betcha, If a ghost ever metcha, By the hair he would ketcha On All Hallowe'en. The witches won't petcha, With their brooms they'd upsetcha, I'd be sad if they etcha On All Hallowe'en. So if mother will letcha, Ask your best beau to fetcha, And at nine here to getcha, On All Hallowe'en. “Why, Fraulein Marie Schmidt,” exclaimed Mr. Anstruther, as he glanced over the letter she handed him, “have you written these invita- tions in Italian dialect?” “No, no, Mr. Anstruther, I thought 1 would try your new phonetic system and write the words as you Americans pronounce them. While I'm here I want everything I do to be thorough- ly American, and you must help me. This will be my first Hallowe’en in America, and I want to give a ghost party that will chill the blood of the most fearless Uhlan.” “Very good, Fraulein, very good.” “The lights for the evening will be furnished by candles only. I shall piace weird goblins, ghosts and witch- es in the corners in the hall and in the stairway. “When we were youngsters we used to stand a broom upside down in a bolstercase and stuff it with old clothes and tie it at the top. We would then paste round white pieces of paper about ten inches in diame- ter on the whisk part of the broom. On these we painted faces with black ink. A sheet could then be draped very gracefully around the whole fig- ure, producing a startling appearance. An old housedress put on a similar form makes a really effective witch. We tied false faces on the brooms and put on an old hat or sunbonnet as the finishing touch. “The bedroom is to be haunted, too. Don’t you think ghosts on a four- posted bed would have a rather spooky appearance?” “Yes, Fraulein, especially when you put hose black shades on all the lights. about the games we are going to play.” “Well, you, Eric, June Stevens and I are to be dressed as ghosts. The other guests, of course, will choose their own costumes. We four ghosts will lead the march, to be joined in by all in lock-step, and go through the house singing the latest catchy songs in a most mournful chant. We will wind up in the living room for the games.” “We must have a blackened derby hat,” said Mr. Anstruther, “so that we can ask some pretty girl to extract a pin from the top with her teeth.” “Aren’t you mean! However, I know just as nice a game for the. handsome men. A number of apples can be hung from various lengths of string at one end of the room. A few cloth bags of highly perfumed pow- | der must be hung up also so that the dear lads will be daubed with powder every time they bite an apple. You know how men hate powder, don’t you?” “Of course, the girls will want to know their fate. Three saucers, one with milk, one with water and one empty, are infallible. Blindfolded, each must dip her fingers into a sau- cer. If water, a happy marriage will follow; if milk, a marriage, but an early divorce, and single blessedness for the one whose fingers touch the empty dish. About 10:30 o’clock June is going to play the Dead March from ‘Saul,’ while we all go in lock-step to the dining room. ‘How grotesque!’ you will say when you see the table. I am going to decorate it all myself and I shall make everything of pa- per. About four rolls of orange crepe paper will cover a fifty-four inch ta- ble, and then I will need about one and a half folds of orange border, with the black witches and white ghosts. The candle shades, ice cup forms and place cards will all harmonize. Narrow streamers of black ribbon will be tied to the favors concealed in the center- piece and extend across the table to each plate. I am going to write toasts on slips of paper and roll them up in the napkins.” “I suppose by this time you are wondering what we are going to have to eat. Well, here is the supper menu: Cold Cuts Chicken Tongue Creamy Potatoes Served in Baked Potato Shells Fruit Salad Claret Punch Individual Pumpkin Pies Coffee Fruit Nuts At 11:30 we all go up to the attic, which I have transformed into a bo- gie’s grotto. The beams are hung with southern moss. No, I don’t rob the garden; this species is made of gray crepe paper. Eric is going to cut out a few pumpkins for me to place in the corners of the room to hold the candles. I cut the center out of an old rope hammock and stretch it across the window. In this abides a lovely big black spider.” “Why don’t you have a few mice running up that old clock in the cor- ner,” sugge.ted Mr. Anstruther. “I shall,” answered Fraulein, “and I also have an old stuffed cat and a few snakes and some frogs stationed around. I shall place two soap boxes against the wall and put the ironing board on them so that about eighteen inches extends beyond one of the box- es. 1 will drape a couch cover over the outfit, put a red pillow over each box and a green one on the unsup- ported end of the board. You and I shall sit on the red cushions and we shall have Wilson Hall sit on the blue one. You must remain seated until I give you the signal to rise.” : “Now for the midnight ghost stories, told while barns the alcohol and salt which I shall place in bowls around the room. After each of the guests has told a story I shall tell one. But now I am anxious to hear “Now, Mr. Anstruther, can you sug- gest anything else to make this party ghostly 2” “Fraulein Schmidt, I wouldn’t have it on my conscience to add another shudder.” “May I have just one more shudder for just one person 7” asked Rose Ma- rie. “Provided I'm not the victim,” ans- wered Mr. Anstruther. “Well, on a little table I shall place a novel pumpkin bag (made of crepe paper) and fill it with tiny boxes of candy. Everybody must take one. The person whose box contains lemon drops must stay in the attic until every one else is down stairs, and then blow out all the candles.” Neighborly Hallowe’en Party.— Three girls can arrange a very at- tractive Hallowe’en party at which each can have a share in the enter- tainment and add to the mystery to the evening by taking the guests in are invited to dress in sheets and pil- low cases, with white masks, so that they will resemble ghosts, and to as- at a certain hour. When they enter the door they are greeted by their ghost hostess, whose gloved hand is extended in welcome. All of the girls, and most of the boys, will be unable to suppress a shriek when they grasp a cold, clammy kid glove that has been stuffed with sawdust and soaked in iced water. None of the ghosts are supposed to talk aloud, and much merriment is had in trying to find out the identity of each other. Games are played—guessing con- turn to each girl’s house. The guests | semble at the home of one of the girls tests or something on that order where prizes can be given—and when the lights are brightened, cocoa wa- fers and salted nuts are served. Each boy then chooses a partner, and the party then goes to the second girl’s home, where other games are played and pumpkin pie and ch-ese are the refreshments. Partners are again changed and the home of the third girl is visited. This home is decorated with Jack’o- lanterns and autumn leaves. Each guest is given a plate holding an ap- ple with the center scooped out to hold a lighted candle, over which marshmallows are toasted. One girl dressed as an old witch | sits in a corner to represent a gipsy’s tent and tells fortunes. Prophecies {are hidden in crepe paper pumpkins | and are given as souvenirs of the | evening. { Masks are removed and the party breaks up amid songs and general merry-making. | UNCLE SAM IN THE GLASS BUSINESS. A chunk of glass twenty inches thick, weighing half a ton, yet per- fectly transparent—this is the achievement of the Bureau of Stand- ards after three and a half years of experiment. The glass is fresh from the melting-pot and ready to be made into lenses. Until recently, most of the optical glass used in this country was im- ported from Germany, but the war forced America into the business, and the final result is an optical glass su- perior in transparency to the import- ed product. / !" Glass for lenses must be without i blemish. The material used consists chiefly of white sand which is melted | down in a porcelain pot and for twen- ty hours must be stirred with a porce- | lain rod. The rod must not bump the | pot once during the process, for if it ' does tiny splinters called “stones” are | likely to flake off. If the material is stirred too rapidly, glass containing | bubbles will result. Purity of raw material is also es- | sential.” The presence of even three- | hundredths of one per cent. of iron | will give the glass a greenish hue.— Popular Science Monthly. | ET ———————— - HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA.
