It Is called the Witch's Cave. To make It cover a tnble with a cloth reaching down to the floor. Hope off the table to make the place look mjsterious. On the t.ihle is plac ed a grocer's box that has hod the bot tom knocked out of It to make the box look like ft little cave. Cover the box with black or gray crepe paper to make It look like a little cave. The back of the cave Is left open nnd a person kneels behfnd the table nnd operates a little figure which Is noth ing more nor less than his own hand dressed up. Eyes, noso nnd mouth are painted on the bark ot thf hand to make a face Tor a witch. A little hat Is put on the closed fist, ahd is made from cardboard and crepe paper In peaked shape. From the wrist to the elbow a crepe paper skirt Is draped to form n little dress for the witch. Turn all the lights out, except a dim one. One by one the fortune seekers go Into the dark room to have their fortunes told. As soon as a fortune ecker appears the little witch pops nut, does a wild dance, and throws a fortune at the fortune seeker, ALL the old-fashioned games played with nutshells nnd randk- ends are lots of fun. nnd make good Inbetvvten stunts. Mount candle ends on old corks nnd let them sail about in a tub of water. Fortunes depend on how long th candles burn nnd Just how often the little boats bump Into each other. Sail nut shells In similar fashion. Fill a box with sand and in this bun large cardboard letters. Let each couple equipped with little spades dig for letters. The first ones turned up reveal the initials of the mate of the one who digs. for the dances, there are usually ehap erones there, "furnished" by the com mittee. Write to Her Dear Cynthia.

There are many things which should be made from those apples which would otherwise go to waste. Among these the United States Food Administration suggests apple sirup, apple butler, pasteurized npple Juice, elder vinegar. Concentrated apple Juice Is n very good sugar substitute. Apple Marmalade Cook the apples till tender, ulng very .little water. In preparing the apples cut Into small pieces of uniform site so asto expedite the rooking, and do not mix varieties till after they are cooked, n.v following this plan the fruit will cook In uniform time, with no danger of some burning before the other Is cooked. Cinnamon Is the best spice to use with apples. To each cup or cooked fruit use one-half cupful boiled sirup (sorghum or other sirup) Mix fruit and sirup well t'ook till clear, stirring constantly, as a mixture containing sirup burns more quickly than one con taining sugar. As soon as the mixture Is clear It may be put Into hot sterilized Jars and sealed, or It may be cooked tilt thick nnd Jelly-like, In the latter case It may be kept In glasses Just as Jelly Is kept If the combination of fruit and lrup Is highly flavored with a combination of spices, the mixture nerd not be cooked tilt ns thick as for marmalade, nnd will make a fruit butter much better liked by some than the stiller marmalade.

One tcaspoonful onion extract. Two teaspoonfuls salt. One pint vinegar. Simmer slowly until thick, bottle and seal. A similar catsup can be made from plums and grapes, and sniced to taste. Sorghum, or molasses may be added If a sweet sauce is liked. Cider Vinegar Apple Juice may be made Into cider vinegar by allowing two fermentations to take place. The first one changes the sugar or the apple Juice Into alcohol. Natural yeasts from the air do this, but the process may be hastened by adding a yeast cake to each five gallons of Juice. The yeast cake should be softened jn lukewarm water before adding. When all the sugar Is changed Into alcohol the next fermentation will be aided by the addition of some good vinegar containing seme "mother of vinegar as a "starter. Allow plenty of room for air In the barrel during all stages of fermentation. Keep the temperature sixty to eighty degrees Fahrenheit. i YESTERDAY'S ANSWERS Mia Florence C.

Her father, mother, younger sister and brother came to this country five years ago and are living at B43S Locust street.

"They are adventurers and dangerous men in tho saddle," said Miss Dlugatch. "Just think," she added, "when you walk In the street you are accosted by a policeman who In a gruff voice asks If you arc a Bolshevik!.

Tempting Fruit for "Flu" Convalescents IT IS said by those who have been victims of thW most dreadful epi demic that It leaves them with no ap petites; that they Just plain don't want to eat. And so we want to tempt them with all sorts of dainty things which might arouse a wee bit of Interest In food, For most certainly nourishing food Is part of the "cure," and 1 believe that one way to tempt that sleepy ap petite Is by the gift of a basket of fruit. One of the shops Is mnking ft specialty of these baskets of fruit for the convalescent, pricing them nt $3. The baskets themselves are most at tractive, nnd would make a nice addition to buffet or serving table, while the fruit Is Indeed tempting. Luscious grapes, juicy oranges, rosy-cheeked apples, eve a fat round 'tomato enn be found. Here Is a real gift for a sick friend. Have vou ever seen. In your wander ings s round the shops, tall stately ladles with china nr hlsnue heads, and with long ery full skirts of silk? You touch a (prlng, nnd lo, milady's skirt becomes a lamp shade, and you have a most uncommon boudoir lamp. Ordinarily, these unusual little lights are rather out of reach of the slender purse, but one of the shops has a few which were used as salesmen's samples, and which have been greatly reduced. Perhaps the skirt has become loose on one, or the girdle disarranged on another. Just a stitch, however, would set It to rights. And you will have a $5 boudoir lnmp for $2.96. And what a lovely Christmas gift, an electric lamp such as this would make I Is your winter suit of gray? Then by all means, you will want to turn It Into an afternoon costume by the addi tion of a blouse to match. There Is something about a waist which matches one's suit in color that gives an "air of finality In attire," that can never be acquired by the finest blouse., of white. The gray one which looks as If it were Indeed made for your very own is of georgette crepe. Although having one of the new round necks, It has none of the plain severity which frequently makes this style difficult to wear. The round neck Is formed by a hemstitched band of perhaps an Inch and a half In width, on which Is embroidered a very effective design In gray silk. A little square collar goes around the back from each shoulder and fine little tucks soften the front of the waist. The price Is only $4.75.
