"How

Party Here's

HALLOWEEN PARTIES have proved so umportant that's now there's ' a National Halloween Week Committee to help the fun along—and this|. year introducing ‘a brand-new, streamlined Halloween Party that.

threatens to be ‘the newest party

craze. . ‘The ‘theory. is that modern times demand modern amusement—so0

the new Halloween Party games are refreshingly different and A Up=io-date; Here are some samples for the younger set:

‘One girl is designated ' privately|" “Py the leadér as “Death,” who kills vher.. dancing - partners, The lights are turifed .out, and in the dark, Roth er ah girls to dance. “ “Death” whispers, “You-must die!” to her partner, who leaves her as soon- a§ the dance stops (still in darkness) and sits down. Then the dancers break up and scatter. The light goes on, and the first victim is* revealed—though no one knows who did it. Lights out again, and the process is repeated—the girl left without a partner taking a seat. This goes on until all the men are “killed” but two, Then the guests can guess and place bets on which of the remaining girls on_the floor is “Death.” The conclusion of the next dance will show it.

Donut Dunking Contest

START WITH eliminations, Girls - place napkins around their necks, and at the ‘signal, begin dunking away, the winners being the first to dunk and eat 2 donuts in a row. Then the men hold their contest, producing two winners, Then the finals are a different kind of contest. Bring in 4 large, flat pans, piled high with fluffy, fresh me‘ringue, with a donut in the bottom of each. The four win- ~ ners put their hands behind their backs, and the hostess places a piece of hard caramel candy in their mouths, The winner is the one who gets to the donut thru the meringue, eats it without swallowing the candy, and whistles or sings “Yankee Doodle” first. Watch guests laugh at the meringue smeared

“Broomstick Race

¢ BEFORE THE PARTY, 30 or 40 ‘Braail nuts (good luck charms) are .fidden in various places around

the room. Four teams are ch The “Ghosts, Bats, Cats and Owls. “téam picks a “Witch,” who de a ' broomstick. Witches are given pans in which to put the Brazil nuts found by ther respective teams. Nois allowed to pick up a nut but a Witch. As soon as any player locates a nut, he calls for his Witch only by giving his team signal. For the cats it’s a meow, for bats a squeak, a moan for ghosts, a hoot for owls. When two or three mempers find the same Brazil nut, each naturally tries to out-noise the other to attract his own Witch. The team with the most Brazil nuts S

Candlelight Ghost Stories

TURN the light out, and light one] candle. Start a story-telling. circle, with the first person starting a story (as blood-curdling ‘as possible) and the next person taking it up from where he left off. When the last person is telling the story, he works up to a feverish climax (prepared with him in advance), and at its most chilling moment, . you blow the light out and let out

his bills to me, insinuating that I ought to work,

as I had been working before I married him. I sew and can work when I get it, but was layed off and just got extra work now and then. He asked me to marry him because he said we both needed a home but since then we have lost about everything we had. He never has made me a home, I've lived first one place, then the other, even in the country, and still he is no different. Now I am disgusted as we are not getting anywhere and I almost * hate him.

By RUTH MILLETT “L. N..D, O. C.” one wise father of a large family says whenever ' | frank family comment about one of | b: the children, either present or absent, becomes critical. And right away someone switches the conversation to a more impersonal topic. For every member of the family knows that those letters stand for “let’s not discuss our children.” By not letting his family fall into the habit of picking each other to pieces, that ' father not -only has done a great deal to keep hard feel-

given all the : children a sense Ruth Millett :- of personal security. Each one knows that his faults, his mistakes, his current personal problems aren’t going to be hashed over by the entire family or any combination of its members the nfinute his back is turned. Each one feels that his right to privacy is respected, and that no matter what he is going through at the moment .it isn’t going to make dinner table conversation: ” o # THIS FAMILY itself is proof that the five letter reminder, “L. N. D. O. C.” is a good idea. Though most of the children are grown and several of them are living away from home, they are still a closely knit family unit.
