FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
: DAILY THOUGHT.
Give what you have. To some it may be
better than you dare think.—Longfellow.
—A downtown hostess with a repu-
tation for novel ideas in entertaining
has completed her plans for a Hal-
lowe’en party. Witches and black
cats will predominate. The wall dec-
orations are of black silhouette, Witch-
es and cats of all sizes appear ona
white ora yellow background. Grin-
ning cat lantern sare to be placed on
‘mantels and in corners. The witch fig-
ures on broomsticks, large and small,
will be suspended from chandeliers, in
parlors and hall, and in every available
vantage point. The colors of decor-
ation will be yellow.
The dining room table, covered first
with a white damask cloth, is adorned
by cutout paper cats and witches and
yellow satin ribbon strips. The fa-
vors at each plate will be candy boxes
-in the shape of black cats and witches.
HOBBLE MARCH.
The program of the evening is a
varied and mystical one. First will
come the “Hob-(ble) Goblins’ March,”
given by several lively young women, |
‘wearing black pointed witches’ caps,
capes, hair hanging down and with
“their red dress skirts “hobbled” below
the knees. They will march in and
around the rooms to a lively tune per-
formed on banjoes. This will be fol-
‘lowed by “The Witches’ Dance,” a
piano selection. :
The witches will then preside over
‘the story telling, two or three guests
‘having been asked to narrate ghost
stories (five minutes’ time being giv-
en to each), While the story-telling
is going on, one of the witches will
‘hold a teaspoonful of salt, saturated
with alcohol, and ignited, causing a
‘weird glow in the darkened room.
A FORTUNE-TELLING FEATURE.
A large pasteboard clock dial will
figure in the next number, which is a
fortune-telling feature. Each guest
in turn will swing the pendulum
around the clock face and will receive
a card bearing the number at which
the pendulum stops. These cards are
decorated with black cats and witches
and bear a verse suitable for a for-
tune.
The refreshments are to be of the
regular Hallowe’en order—fruits, pop-
corn, nuts, candies, etc. The “witches’
cauldron” will be brought in and plac-
ed in the centre of the table after the
refreshments have been disposed of.
The guests rise and joining hands cir-
“lowly around the table, reciting
or humming,
Hubble, bubble.
Toil and trouble.
Witches thrive
And cauldron bubble.
At the last word the one who is at
the head of the table puts his hand
into the cauldron and pulls out a favor
in the shape of a bonbon. This he
breaks open, putting the cap on top
of his head and reading aloud the
fortune. The song is then repeated
until each has had a cap, when a!
march is played and the guests re-!
turn ‘to the parlor, where a lively
Vireinia reel will wind up the even- |
ing’s festivities. |
—“There is no earthly aliment but |
somewhere God hath an herb for its |
healing,” says a quaint writer. “The ]
trouble is that we think the herb has ,
a hard foreign name. ;
far lands, but find it at last in our
own garden plot.”
—To the whimsical palate of an in-
valid, a dainty is far more acceptable |
. watever it may be, if it is served in |
some unusual form. i
For the busy housewife who has i
but one pair of hands on which to de- :
pend, in performing her various du-'
ties, time is a most important con- |
sideration, so she has little for frills.
A few moments spent in arranging .
and garnishing a dish will make all
the difference between its being eaten :
with pleasure or refused with distaste. |
iL 1s not easy for everybody to pre- |
pare a dish so that it appeals to the
eye: but with little practice the art
may be acquired. |
So many fetching things may be!
done with the ordinary foods com-
mon in every home. Take the lemon |
or orange: a whole set of dishes may |
be made from a few. The lemon has |
a spout all ready made for a pitcher, |
cut a ring for a handle, scoop out the
pulp, shave off the bottom to make it I
level and behold a pitcher, not for |
cream, but for jellies or custards, |
junket or tapioca. Cut the lemon |
crosswise, scoop out and put on han- |
dles and you have a sugar bowl; cut |
a smaller lemon the same way. in-
sert a ring for handle and you have |
a cup. Pigs, using toothpicks for
“legs, black pins for eyes will delight |
the heart of a child—a lemon is shap-
- ed like the body of a pig.
With dates, figs and raisins flat- |
‘tened and decorated with cloves. all |
sorts of turtles may be formed. Pea- |
nuts with toothpicks will make all!
kinds of animals and men. Unless one
has tried doing these things for a |
grown person, it will surprise you to |
see how much these: childish toys will |
please an adult. We are but children |
at heart and when one is ill one ig ill :
mentally as well as physically; so sim- |
ple things please and divert us. '

FRIED APPLES AND RACON.
Thinly sliced bacon is delicious
when browned under the flame of the
broiler in a gas stove. It is then free
of excess fat, crisp and appetizing.
Good results can also be obtained by
frying in a heavy skillet, draining
the slices and absorbing a large part
of the fat with brown paper. Apples
or tomatoes can then be fried in the
fat and according to the Bureau of
Home Economics, U. S. Department

owing pe is suggested for
apples and bacon: Select good tart ap-
ples. Peel and cut themin to 1 inch
cubes. Fry the bacon in a heavy skil-
let. As soon as the slices of bacon are
crisp, remove and drain them on clean
brown paper. For frying the apples
you will need about one-fourth cup of
the bacon fat. Put the apples in the
hot bacon fat, piling them up rather
high in frying pan. Sugar to taste.
Be sure you use enough sugar; ap-
ples fried this way require a little
more sugar than apples fried in ordin-
ary way.
Tell Why State Widens Highway.
Secretary of Highways Stuart has
explained the department’s policy rel-
ative to the establishment of max-
imum right-of-way width of 120 feet
along Pennsylvania highways.
The tremendous increase in traffic,
he said, necessitated planning to take
care of future increases.

At present there are 1,540,000 reg- {ments from creating restricting ac-

highway system which are so danger-
ous and so much deplored by the
traveling public at this time.

this is the particular point that has
been misunderstood.
“In most cases it will be many years
before the full ultimate width of the
highway will be required, but at that
time it is contemplated that local de-
velopment shall have a chance to have
changed to such an extent that it has
conformed to the new ultimate width
and the net result will be very con-
siderable saving in property damages
and the opening up of many of the
present narrow and restricted sections
and the avoidance of an increased
number of such conditions in the fu-
ture.”
The department of highways has
received many requests for informa-
tion concerning this work from many
States which contemplate similar
legislation.

“The width of the highway.” said
Secretary Stuart, “is determined by
the secretary of highways and varies
according to his judgment as to the
future requirements and possibilities
for construction in the various sec-
tions. Some of the county authori-
. tise have misunderstood the intent of
ithe act. It provided for the estab-
lishment of the ultimate width on the
proper location and the property-
owner may not develop his property
in the future within the width of the
highway as established and collect
damages therefore when the land is
required for highway purposes. This
provides building lines of ample width
elimination. Faulty kidney ac-
tion permits toxic material to re-
main in the blood and upset the
whole system. Then, one is apt to
have a tired, languid feeling and,
sometimes, a toxic backache or head-
ache, and often some irregularity of
secretions, such as scanty or burn-
ing passages. More and more people
are acclaiming the value of Doan’s
Pills, a stimulant diuretic, in this
condition. For more than forty years
Doan’s have been winning favor the
country over. Ask your neighbor!
