THU jotinn folks in the family arc
looking forward with pleasure to i
Halloweenthe mystic night when nTT
tnc lovers put their fates to the test, .
Arrange a pnrty for them. Corn stalks
and nudimii foliage will be splendid for i
decorations and have a few artificial
pumpkins show among the decorations.
In order to make these pumpkins, cut j
n piece of jellow crepe paper in half!
and then cut the piece about twelve
inches long. Paste together and then I
gather one end and tie ou the inside
with a piece of string. Till with bits of
pnper. Tie the top into shape by press- '
lng to flatten.
Many games may be played, inch as
bobbing for apple also ducking for
them. Taring apples, o that the en-
tire skin is kept in one piece; this is
then thrown over the left shoulder.
where it is said it will fall to the tloor I
and form the initial of one's fi-tuic life
partner. This, with the winging and (
dancing, will provide plenty of fun. i
At midnight the fun folks may have J
ft supper, and then hie themselves home ,
before the hour of one in the morning. '
This autumn festival usually calls ,
for simple refreshments; therefore here

looked unusually pretty They had
walked up the avenue, and the cold Xo

blonde hair and whipped color Into her
cheeks The green of her little velvet
hat made her look like some wood sprite,
nnd the very fact that she was with
Tony brought her Intense happiness
She had very cpilckly becomo used to
tea In the nfternoon and she poured very
prettily when there was no one to look
on. Tony, delighted nt the progress she
1 had made, was more lover-like than he
had been In a long time, and they were,
having n verj- good time when some

to Tony
"Well, old mnn, how nre jou?

Charlotte looked up and saw n rather

had audacious eyes that smiled down
on her klndlv They were nice, fr'endlv
eyes and they Interested her so that
she smiled back.
Tony had risen rather i-tlftly, although

When tp Give Engagement Ring
Dear Cynthia Being n dally reader of
your column, I feel Justified in asking
a little advice.
Is It proper to give an engagement
ring to a girl on Christmas or Bhoutd It
bo given nt nnothcr time nnd n small
?:lft be given on Christmas? If tho ring
n given now should the wedding take
place within n. venr or Just how long?
The Idea Is that while I am not Just In n
position to marry, I want to announco
my Intentions. We havo been colng to
gether about two yearn. J. F. F.
It Is better to give tho engagement
ring separately nnd nnother gift nt
Christmas. There Is no specified time
for a wedding to tnko plnce, other than
the time tho persons concerned pfepare
for. Often nn engagement lasts several
years. It Is always better to marry Boon
If possible, but, If not, It Is no one's busi
ness but those concerned' therein, nnd If
n man and girl havo been going togother
tor a couple or yenrs nnu aro ensngeu,
It Is better to announce It.
Correct or Incorrect?
Dpnr Cvnlhln Will vori klndlv advise
mo through your paper If tho following
is correct or incorrect:
"A certain couple are engaged, and
the man Is of the opinion thnt It Is per
fectly correct to sit In nnother room by
themselves, even thouich the family Is
nround. while the clrl maintains It Is In-.
correct to go Into nliotner room anu siny
tk.... ...I.... UA n...ll.. I ..till nPAt.Hfl .'
uieic witeii mu. i.iiuii la ami utfu.iv..
Docs the fact that they nre engaged
make nny difference? I thank you In
advance for your courtesy in answering
this question. SOPHIK J.
It Is not Incorrect for nn engaged
couple to sit together In nnother room
than that In which the family always
congregate. It Is polite to stny with the
members of the family a pnrt of tho eve
ning or nfternoon, but It Is perfectly un
derstandable that cngnged persons havo
their own affairs nbout which they wish
to converse nnd vvhloh'only Interest them
and there Is no reason why they should
not spend some time together whether
tho members of the family are In adja
cent rooms or upstairs.
Another Lonely One
Dear Cynthia Would you mind n few
words to "Avis From the West"? Thank
you I
If It helps out for you to know there
are others "In the same boat." let me add
another name to the list of "lonesome
ones" from the West, I'm sure we'll nil
agree "misery loves company." Like the
other four. I, too, nttend the University
nf Pennsylvania, and nm from the West
I have found thnt It ! much easier to
become lonesome in tne tnira largest
city In tho United States thnn It Is In
the smallest "hick" town In tho West. I
experienced the worst case of lonesome
ness I ever hope to have In New York
i'!tv. with nil due resuect. It Is Impos
sible for one. after he has been used to
traveling with a lively crowu oi con
genial young people, private dances,
country clubs, and that ort of thing, to
pnmn in 11 ntrnnsre. distant city, and not
have that lonesome feeling that borders
on homesickness,
Cynthia, perhaps, would s-ugscst get
ting In touch with one's pastor at
church, or a Y. M. C. A., or similar or
ganization, but meeting people In that
way Is not the sort of thing that Is "rel
ished" to say the least.
I have often wondered why some Phil
adelphia newspaper does not conduct n
"lonesome Club" similar to the one
conducted by the Chlcngo Tribune, dur
ing the war, for lonesome soldiers. Tho
propect, however, doesn't soein vci.
bright, docs It?
(luess we six from tho good old West
Will havo to trust to fate to becoms'ac
eiualnted. In the meantime. I txtend'my
heartfelt sympathy to you nnd to the
other "Four 'Lonesome 'ioung Men."

Victor Bread is not only the best
bread baked today, but its generous
size and low price make it the biggest
bread value, and now is the time when
the thrifty housewife should make
every penny go just as far as possible.

We are able to sell such an un
usually big and generous loaf at such
a low price because we operate our

WHAT'S WHAT
ir imi.r.v nrcir.
A well-bred womnn does not ncccpt
fnvcrs from any but rclntives or inti
mate friends. Even so small a matter us
carfare Is not to be paid for her by a
casual acquaintance who happens to be
entering tho car At the same time. Unless
the womnn finds momentary difficulty tu
getting at her change, ho phould nottif
fcr to pay, nnd even then only after
asking permission to lend her tho need
ful coin. When she repays him later h
should- accept with a simple "Thank
you," nnd without protest.
A common exposition of unfamlllnrlty
with social ethics Is tho untaught girts
attitude on this point, her expecta
tion that every man with whom she has
the slightest acquaintance must pay her
carfare, whenever opportunity offers, and
her verdict that be Is what she terms a
"tightwad" tf ho does not nvnll himself
of tho privilege which. In more cultivated
society, would bo accounted an imperti
nence. Malting More Money
By Jinking It for Other People
Those who aro Inclined to bo very
critical may consider that the line nbove
Isn't Btrlctly correct for Miss Jeanno
O. Mnthot doesn't really vmnke monoy
for other people, sho Just enables them
to mako It. But Hint's pretty much
the same thing, particularly since It
permits her to be flnanclnlly Independent
nnd to enrry on n, branch of worlc which
Is not only quite pleasant, but of value
to .others as well.
Ten years or so ago Miss Mnthot,
whose home Is In New York, had deter
mined to become n lawyer. But tho
sudden death of her brother, htmsolf n
lawyer, made It essential that she alter
her plans. Bo she took a position ns a
social secretary. While she enjoyed tho
work. Miss Mathot did not feel that It
presented a sufficiently alluring future.
She therefore made up her mind to
become a sort of "social secretary trust,"
a secretary to many peoplo Instead of
one. An office was secured, assistants
trained to take care of tho routine end
of tho work nnd advertisements Inserted
stntlng that Miss Mathot was now In a
position to nttend to all tho arrange
ments for luncheons, dinners, card par
ties and other social functions.
In spite of the fnct that this appeared
to be tho work for which she wns best
fitted. Miss Mnthot found that her task
was gradually altering Itself, almost In
spite of her plans for tho future. Women
nnd girls would hear of her and como
In with the request that sho find better
positions for them, it was because of
this thnt tho Mathot office gradually
took on the nspect of a glorified "em
ployment ngency," with tho result that
tho Mathot finances were augmented
both by the employes nnd tho employer.
Miss Mnthot now feels that sho has
reached the goal for which she was
striving: an unusual nnd lucrative busi
ness connection and sho Intends to
stick at It, at le.-ibt until something bet
ter presents Itself.

HALLOWEEN COMES BACK
WITH SAME OLD APPEAL

Grown-Ups Talk About Having Peace and Quiet While tho

' Fun Just asluchas the Children
TXHIAT makes Ila lowcen como back
yr year after year with the same np-
Ileal that It lias had ever since wo were
young enough, to be scored nt n mask?
We've grown up now, nnd wc look
nt the windows nil decorated In ofango
nnd black, with pumpkin fares nnd
witch figures, hissing black rats and
solemn owls with the knowledge that
they nrc made out of pnper.
There Is no secret shiver, ns there
used to be, as wc gaze tionchnlantly nt
n frowning witch or n beckoning ghost.
Vi'e can sec n clown costume without
feeling more than u passing pity for
the poor soul who will try to bo funny
enough 'to live up to it on Halloween.
And thnt glistening white skirt thnt
some fairy will wear tonight doesn't
give us a thrill.
No, we're grown up now, nnd those
things nrc for the children.
Let them dress themselves up if they
will, paint tlieir faces, tangle their hnir
with confetti, nnd frighten themselves
to denth walking downstairs backward
in the dark.
Not for us give us the apples, the
cider, the doughnuts nnd the pumpkin
iiic, and let us go on our sedate way
in peace.
AND yet It's rather amusing to see,
how much older Ilabs looks In the
pretty little old-fashioned dress with
the powder In her puffed hnir nnd tho
tiny niits over her bnbylsh wrists.
And Sonny got up that Indian cos
tume hlmselt not bad nt nil. even If
mother's big feather duster did Buffer
for the headdress.
Johnny .Tones across the street has
n false mustache that makes him look
exactly like his father it's ridiculous,

"You Shouldn't' Wear That"
Have you met the dissector?
Doesn't sho leave you nil cut up?
You greet her--"Lovely day! Sky "
She refuses poetry prose for her.
My dear! Such nn unbecoming hat!"
She Htiaigiiteus it, nlo jour veil.
Picks imaginary threads from jou.
Looks you over critically.
Her eye is like a inicioscope.
You Miuirm under It like a worm.
Feebly .you try to nvcit dissection:
"Did you see that wonderful play?"
Can't be done! "No!" she says.
"My dear! Why do you wear that?
Such n color feu- your complexion !
Neutrnl tones nre best for you.
Hlack would be just right!"
You try to sny how you love color.
Life's so vivid black is funcreul.
It snuffs out the light o' life.
"Clown's too joiing!" she interrupts.
"You shouldn't wear one-piece ones.
Tailor suits nic more chic.
You resign yourself to the probe.
Or you make for n mental hole.
Crawl into n piotecting tliouglrt.
She grabs you, hnuls jou back.
"Listen! It's for your, good!"
And the queer part is tills :
Usually she's a dowdy herself!
She sees flaws only iu others.

Junior, who Is seventeen In veiA

mother thought It was.n shitipc.
She found soma slightly moth-eaten
woolen stockings that he could still
wear, darned up the holes, fished out
his old Hoy Scout uniform, and declrl.,?
thnt with his belted coat and t m
hat turned up shnrply nt one side nnd
adorned with a jaunty quill, he would
make a fine-looking Jjwisg guide.
Junior thought so, soo, seerctlr. of
course, but Just a bit obviously.
It wns Anne's older ulster, she told
the family, as she stepped In on the wsv
to the party to show how she looked
who thought up the clever gipsy cos
tume, and lent her gorgeous dark red
scarf to make It so striking.
And Daddy himself put aside his clwr
nnd ntcsscd up his cuffs stralghteninc
out the war paint on Sonny's round
pink face wondering as he did .
whether Indlnns ever wore deep dimple
and turned-up noses.
He got so enthusiastic about his
work that when Junior strolled in with
the jauuty Indifference of his age nnd
his sclf-coueciousness he stood him un
beside the paint box anil installed a
mustache upon his upper lip.
YES, these grown-ups talk fn large
terms nbout their cider and their
npplcs nnd their pcaco nnd quiet on

But It comes around each rear with
Its same old appeal to the foolish, child
ish, grinning side oi everybody.

She was n nuisance to be abated.
So wc abated her thusly:
Thursdays she goes to market.
We all went, too.Sn relays.
The first gnvo n surprised start.
"My dear! How pale you are !
And in gray ! Takes nil your color."
Next came Mrs, Ilrown.
She picked threads off the critic. ,
"Keen sewing?" sho laughed.
"You forgot to brush, didn't you?"
"What n funny hat!" Next one said.
"Styles nre so queer, aren't they?"
Another told where to buy shoes.
"Such n tailor!" exclaimed another.
"He mnkes you look so dumpy!
Now miue is " but the critic fltd.
I wns last. I pawed her all over.
(Hate that! Makes my flesh crawl.)
I did nil she had clone to me.
She was fighting mad.
"How do YOU like It?" I said.
"Kemcmbcr the Golden Rule.
Here's n motto I made for you.''
It wns a card : "Kwitcherknockin."
She quit, too. Wc like her now.
Isn't it odd?
CriticH love to pick flaws.
They hate tobc picked themselves.
