HARVEST HOME PARTY
(See Recipes Below)
Household News
Everybody enjoys singing a song
of harvest home, even if they
haven't had a personal stake in
bringing in the crops. At your har
vest home party, if you follow tradi
tion, you’ll have cornucopias filled
with fall fruits and garlands of
wheat or grasses grouped at the
center of your festive board. Little
dolls dressed in overalls and aprons
make amusing favors.
Farmer in the dell, blindman’s
buff, puss in comer, and the never
to be forgotten game of charades,
in which the participants can give
their all in dramatic acting, are tra
ditional juvenile game favorites that
are likely to give the grown-up con
tingent an equally good time. You
may want to do a little bit of folk
dancing, with the old time fiddler,
the pianist, and even an accordion
ist hitting off “country" songs.
When it comes to refreshments,
you may decide upon anything from
a big picnic spread to cookies and
a refreshing beverage. A fruit pie
is the most appropriate happy end
ing to your harvest home feast. Just
a hint to you homemakers if you
have trouble keeping the delicious
juice in a pie; quick cooking tapioca
may be used as a thickener, thus
eliminating the traditional hazard of
runaway juice.
Doughnuts and
hot spicy cider
are always an at
tractive and fa
vorite combina
tion to serve at a
party of this type.
Or you may like
to use the old
oaken bucket for serving punch.

^ this pretty frock—and it’s so
very becoming to all of them!
Flared at the skirt, wide at the
shoulders, design No. 8763 fills
them out, at the age when they
shoot up like beanpoles. And the
high-cut princess skirt scoops in
gratifyingly at the waistline.
This pretty frock makes up
charmingly in a combination of
plaid and plain fabrics, as pic
tured, but it’s very smart in one
color, too. The two versions look
so different that you’ll really get
two fashions out of this one pat
tern. Gingham, linen, percale and
chambray are pretty for this.
Make it up, later on, in wool crepe
