The Magic By MAUDE DAY BALTZELL Just as the hotly belongs to Chrfttmas, bo does the pumpkin belong to Hallowe'en; and Just as we think of noise on July Fourth, so do we think of magic und whis pers nt Hallowe'en. ' The Magic Fumpkin Is an In door game to be played after dark. Cut the top off a large pumpkin and hollow out the body of the pumpkin with a large iron spoon. Place this pumpkin shell on a chair at the center of one end of the room. Have the two young est players choose sides which are to form in lines parallel to the direction that the chair faces, each line about three feet from the chair. Six feet away from the chair, and directly in front of it, place a mat or a folded news paper. ThiB mat is called the magic carpet. Beginning with the player at the left end of youngest player's lino, each person in this line steps. In turn, lo the magic carpet and is Hags of Hallow'even Mildred View Mcrryman When the pumpkin shivers And the corn shocks shy, Like a black cot's eye, Whist! Whist!

Sermon on the Vanity Case No one can object to a woman' putting her best foot forward be fore marriage, but it Is not wise to put It any farther forward than she means to keep putting It for ward. If he liked powder and rouge, manicured nails and mar oeled locks before he was married, you may be sure that he will after. Because he is yours "for keeps." do not make the mistake of spruc ing up only when you expect to see some one besides your hus band. Use your vanity case every mor ning. If disillusionment must come, let them come gradually nnd from necessity. Do not let him think that he has been deceived: .that the girl he wooed and the nife he won re different women. T Nobody enjoys loafing like the man who works for It, M Modern Styles Pumpkin given a soft ball which he is to throw into the magic pumpkin three times. If the thrower is successful in getting the ball into the pumpkin every time he throws, he is given a bonus of ten points as well as five points for each suc cessful throw, making twenty-five points in all. A thrower who misses would have five points taken away from his score for each failure. Each one keeps track of his points and when everyone has had a chance to try his skill, the two lines compare their total number of points and tho line having the greatest number of points is the winner. The two players on thin line with tho greatest number' of points to their credit have the privilege of choosing sides for the next game. The magic carpet may be moved farther than b!x feet from the magic pumpkin if the players are boys or girls who have played enough baseball to be skil ful at aiming the bail. And keep your shadow slim. For the Hags of Hallow-even skim At steeple's rim, The Hags of Hallow-even skim! When the fild mice scurry And the stars all hide.

Pumpkin Pathway Arrange a row of pumpkins down the room about two feet apart. Then blindfold one of the boys, telling him he must walk down the room without stepping on a pumpkin. These latter are quietly removed, but, of course, the boy will walk carefully, step ping high, and this will cause a good laugh. Heavy Aluminum Saves Fuel and Preserves Juices Heavy aluminum with a fitted lid cooks with little or no water how much depends on what is being prepared thus preserving all the juices of the vegetables nnd meat which we now know contain many of the food elements most essential to our health. Because of its thickness, it keeps the food from burning easily, thus pre venting waste. Less fuel is re quired for cooking, and cooler kitchens are a consequence, as the heat is kept in the utensil rather than spread throughout the room. Last but not least. It wears almost forever, so that there will be no replacement costs to " face. To my notion, this type of al uminum takes the place of the old heavy cast Iron ware of our grond mot tier's day. In the successful way certain foods can be cooked In It, slowly and thoroly, and It fulfills this purpose even better than the former ever did. By using the best choice. - Subdued pattern pans, two and even three articles can be prepared t one time on one burner of an oil, gasoline, gas or electric stove; this saves fuel and extra heat in the room.

Table arranged in hollow squares with sunken gardens In the mid die; solid banks of roses the length of a table seating several hundred guests; floors sodded with grass to resemblo the ' outdoors these are only a few of the things florists are called upon to arrange. A Washington publisher gave a barn yard party with the guests attired in rural costumes. Grass mats were used instead of table cloths. Small potted rose tree. adorned the table. Small china cows, horses and pigs were placed among them. . Tho floor was cov ered with grass. At a dinner given by a cabinet member, a solid mass of red roses extended the the ?ntfre center length of the long table. The flow ers cost 4500. A wealthy woman employed the sunken garden arrangement with Spanish iris and Australian ferns giving a tropical atmosphere as the various expensive courses wore served. Over each plate was sus pended n- floral umbrella of trail ing greenery and pink blossoms and lighted from within by elec tric lights. Sometimes tiny fountains tinkle In these dinner table gardens. Pink acacias trail over white ar bors as securely as though they had not been arranged for just one occasion.

In reality, i the floor-covering forms the basis for the rest of the decoration, and should never be so conspicuous as- to destroy tho balance that the room must have. The finish of the floor upon which the rug Is to ho placed should he darker than tho rug Itself; hut if this Is Im possible, then the floor should bo completely covered from wall to wall with cnrpetlng or a rug made to order that l.e. A balanced ef fect Is obtained when the rug Is darkest, tho walls intermediato and the celling lightest, - "There has been ushered in with the modernistic trend a period of sweeping and emboldened designs that nro must confusing to the v erago rug-buyer.
