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.—
