DAILY THOUGHT.
The Little Ghost.
‘Who cometh, who cometh,
light,
Straight to my heart at the dead of night?
O little dear ghost, you know the way
To the heart that has ached for you—
longed all day.
Out from the shadows you creep,
creep,
Straight into my heart with a sudden leap.
And all night long while I take my rest
My little dear ghost lies close to my breast.
All night long——but when dawns the day,
Ah me! my little ghost flits away.
—Harper’s Bazar.
so light, =o
you
To begin with, says a writer in the
Milwaukee Journal, make the house
look as pretty and “woodsy” as possi-
ble, and use colored shades for the
lights. Yellow enes of crepe paper
with decorations of bats and witches
and other Hallow-een’ emblems cut
from black paper and pasted on them
are pretty and make a mellow glow
for the room. If there is a closet or
recess down stairs turn it into a witch-
es den or cave, or a fortune-teller
bower. Fortunes can be fixed in var-
ious clever ways. Perhaps you can
find some one who knows enough
about reading palms to make that in-
teresting for your guests.
When the guests arrive they will be
surprised to see that the house is in
utter darkness. Ringing the bell
brings no answer to contradict their
suspicion that there is some mistake.
Suddenly a ghost creeps around the
veranda and surprises them from the
rear with a weird yell. Silently, then,
the ghost opens the front door and
beckens them to enter.
A new and amusing note for a Hal-
low-een’ party was sounded when the
young hostess asked her prospective
guests to come as ghosts, the said
spectres to be, it was understood, no
mere creations of sheet and pillow- |
cases, but ‘spooks with a historical
background.
Taking their hint from the invita-
tion the various spirits found local col-
or for themselves with great clever-
ness. One of the features planned for
the evening was guessing just what
wraith each man or girl represented.
Over the doorway through which
the ghostly assemblage entered the
parlor was a placard reading “The
Spirit World,” while a curtain of soft
veiling which floated in the doorway
below was designated as “The Veil of
the Future.”
There were ghosts from Washing-
ton Irving and Dickens, from the In-
goldsby Legends and one from a more
recent author, William de Morgan.
Banquo’s ghost figured, of course, and
the spirit of Hamlet’s father. The
spook that caused much curiosity and
guessing proved to represent The
Ghost of a Chance. Banshees, head-
less phantoms and ghouls from Poe
made up the list.
As each drifted noiselessly into the
parlor he or she was ticketed with a
number. Afterward cards and pencils
were distributed and the company
guessed the names of the various
phantoms. The best list of guesses
won a prize, which proved to be a
copy of a famous ghost story.
After the presentation of this gift
the entertainer passed among the
company distributing tiny fans to be
used in a test of the future.
A lighted candle was placed in the
centre of the round table about which
all sat. One by one players endeav-
ored to blow it out without rising from
their chairs to do it. Each person had
three chances to perform the feat, but
these were taken in turn not sucress-
ively.
While the fate seekers blew, one of
the ghosts of the receiving party in-
toned solemnly a prophetic charm of
which the following is a paraphrase:
“Blow out in one, you'll marry soon.
Blow out in two, wed late but true.
Blow out in three, a mere maybe.
Fail in the third, you'll die unwed.”
Another form of revel which was
heartily entered into by the 30 in-
vited guests was held in a barn be-
longing to a fashionable country
house.
Invitations were printed on corn
husks and were sent to 15 young nen,
an equal number of girls being in the
secret and banded together to deco-
rate the festive scene as well as to
carry out the novel program.
Corn shocks with autumn leaves
were used to bank the wall and at
their base the lovely yellow pump-
kins were placed as if growing.
As the men, all unsuspecting, arriv-
ed at the appointed place they were
met by pairs of ghosts (the girls)
who silently conducted them in the
direction of the barn. All question-
ing as to who was who or what was
what was ignored by the voiceless
specters, who merely pointed to the
dimly lighted building amid the fields.
When all the male contingent had
been received there appeared upon
the scene a witch, who handed to each
man a little box containing 25
grains of corn.
One at a time the ghosts were then
mounted upon a block and auctioned
off by the witch, the men bidding in
the sheeted figures with the corn rep-
resenting dollars. No clue as to the
identity of the ghost being sold was
vouchsafed the purchasers, the pros-
pective buyers being supposed to rely
entirely upon their own guessing pow-
ers.
When the last spectre had been
bought and sold the strains of the
“Arkansas Traveler,” “Money Musk”
or some equally old favorite were
heard and the dance began, each gen-
tleman still ignorant of the identity
of his partner, who studiously refused
to reveal herself.
After the first round, however, the
girls unmasked and an exchange of
partners occurred.
After tripping through several
measures to the good old tunes, the
girls produced the apples, nuts, flour
and other provisions necessary for
Hallow-een’ games and various old-
time tests of fate occupied the hour
that preceded supper.
‘orange skins.
For this refreshment each man of
the party selected a partner as if for
a dance and the two between them re-
ceived a basket made of a hollowed
out pumpkin filled with fzil goodies—
pie, cake, doughnuts, cookies—which
the couple shared. Coffee and lemon-
ade were passed at the same time.
Fruit salad or ice cream can be
served in tiny Jack o’lanterns made of
Bright shiny apples
hollowed out also make very effective
containers for salad. Little individu-
al pumpkin pies baked in patty pans,
sprinkled with chopped nuts and gar-
nished with a spoonful of whipped
cream are appropriate and delicious,
as are tiny hot apple tarts topped with
ice cream. Cup cakes frosted in or-
ange with Jack o’lantern faces put on
with a brush dipped in melted choco-
late make an excellent accompaniment
to the usual party ice cream. Cider
jelly or apple sauce served in individ-
ual molds with cream are both good.
Plain vanilla ice cream can be given
a holiday appearance by topping it
with a maroon that is a candied chest-
nut, and pouring a spoonful of the
maroon syrup over it. These preserv-
ed chestnuts can be purchased in any
good grocery store and while they are
expensive, served this way, a few will
go a long way.
“Sandwiches” are simply any kind
of a sandwich cut out with a cooky
cutter in the shape of a witch. Any
tinsmith will make you a cutter to
order if you will make him a pattern,
or they can be bought for the occasion.
Plain sugar or molasses cookies are
made very festive by selecting an ap-
propriate cutter.
If you want your refreshments sim-
ple, nothing would be more popular
than cider and doughnuts. A very
good recipe for doughnuts calls for
four level cupfuls of flour sifted with
two teaspoonfuls of baking powder
and a quarter of a teaspoonful of salt.
Set this aside and cream a tablespoon-

ful of butter with a cupful of sugar.
Add two well beaten eggs and beat for
five minutes. Then add a level tea-
spoonful of grated nutmeg and a tea-
spoonful of lemon extract, a cupful of
milk and the prepared flour. Roll out
about a quarter of an inch thick, cut
out with a doughnut cutter and fry in
hot fat. Drain and roll in powdered
sugar. This recipe will make 50
cakes. If you know how to do it, you
could twist them as great-grandmoth-
er used to do. Or you could cut the
dough into tiny rounds and inclose a
marshmallow in each one before fry-
ing.
Dream cakes or hot toasted cheese
sandwiches are another good dish for
an evening party. Spread slices of
bread with butter and thinly-cut
cheese. Season highly with mustard,
salt and cayenne. Put two slices to-
gether and toast in a hot oven.
For candy decorate huge chocolate
peppermints with Jack o’lantern fea-
tures with melted white fondant. Tiny
pumpkins can be easily made with
yellow cream fondant. These are very
pretty used as cake decorations, a
vine of them trailing across the top of
a big layer cake, using citron for the '
leaves and stems.

now the chief commercial product of

didnt just happen
Neither did it become a great manufacturing
and agricultural center by accident.
For prosperity—industrial and commercial—
comes only through careful and conservative
planning.
Bellefonte with its numerous foundries, mills and
factories, with its mines, and with its diverse farm
products holds a high place in the industrial world.
Foresight—and a broad vision—have brought this
about.
Behind Bellefonte’s present Bell service is an engi-
neering staff whose function is planning for the
future telephone needs of the city.
These engineers are just as much concerned about
the present or prospective subscriber here, as they
are with anyone else in the United States. No prob-
lem is so small that it does not merit their attention
and no difficulty has yet been too large for them to
overcome.
For they are members of the Bell organization.
And all Bell people have a very real interest in the
community.
