Hallowe’en Suggestions for
> Learning One’s Future
By MARTHA ALLEN.
Dear Atiss Allen: This Is the first
time I have written you, although
I always read your column and have
received some helpful advice. A club
I belong to is having a Halloween
party and we have been trying to
find some stunts for learning what
one's future husband is going to be
like. I wonder if you could give us
some suggestions. Thank you for
your trouble. BETTY ANN.
Here you are Betty Ann. I hope
these are what you want and that
your party will lie a success:
» If you wish to find out what your
matrimonial chances are before an
other year is out, take three dishes,
put clear water in one, soap in an
other and leave the third empty.
Have some one blindfold you and lead
you to the table where the dishes
are arranged. Dip your hand in one.
If you dip it in the clean water,
your future husband will be a rich
and handsome bachelor; if in the
soapy water, a widower; if in the
empty dish, no husband at all.
To find out if your sweetheart Is
true, light a match and sel It to one
of his letters. If the flame is hign
and clear, he is, but if small and
blue he will forsake you.
Apple Seeds.
Name two wet apple seeds, and
with the palm of your hand stick
them on the forehead. The seed
which remains stuck longest is the
one upon which to pin your hopes.
Another test is to cut an apple and
pick out seeds from the core; if
only two seeds are found it protends
early marriage: three, legacy; four,
great wealth; five, voage; six, great
fame; seven means you will get any
thing you desire.
Apple Paring.
With a sharp knife peel an apple
round and round without breaking:
then swing the paring round Jmur
pliead and let it drop to the floor. The
letter formed is the initial of your
future mate s name. Or, 3*ou may
hang the paring over the door and
the first of the opposite sex to pass
under it will be your mate.
Ring and ftoblet.
Tie a wedding ring or a key to a
silken thread and hold suspended
within a glass; then say the alphabet
slowly. The letter* you have reached
when the ring strikes first will be
the Initial of your loved one's name,
and the second strike will register the
initial of hts last name.
Needle Test.
Grease three needles and place In a
bowl of fater, naming one for the girl
and one for two suitors. Impelled by
gravitation, the needles will act curi
ously. The manner in which they be
have toward the young lady is sup
posed to be suggestive and prophetic.
Walnut Test.
Remove meat from good sized wal
nut shells, and in each shell fasten
tiny pieces of different colored candies,
the smallest you can get, t each of
which is named for a member of the
party. After lighting, set afloat In a
large pan of water.,/ The behavior of
these tiny boa's reveals the future for
whom they are named. If two glide
together their owners have a like
destiny. If they glide apart, so it will
be. Sometimes the little boats will
huddle together, leaving one out in
the cold, an outcast, as it were. Again,
two will start, the rest will follow,
declaiming a wedding procession. The
one whose candle goes out first is
destined to he an old maid or bachelor.
These nutshell boats may be made,
too, by pouring melted wax candles
lnto^the half shells, using short string
for wicks.
Pumpkin Seed.
Carve all the letters of the alphabet
on a good sized pumpkin. Set on a
stand or table. Each guest is blind
folded. given a hat pin and led to
the pumpkin, where he or she sticks
the pin into a letter, thus indicating
the initials of the Intended's last
name.
The Four Graces.
Tut four saucers in a line on the
tabla. Into the first put dirt, into
the second water, into the third a
ring, into the fourth a thimble.
Guests are blindfolded and led
around the table twice, then urged to
go alone and put fingers into one
saucer. Into the dirt means divorce;
into water, an ocean voyage; where
ring Is, to marry; where thimble is,
never to marry.
Popcorn.
Put a grain of popcorn on a hot
stove and whichever way it pops that
way your sweetheart lives.

“My Husband’s Love”
Madge Thought Harriet Wanted a
Private Interview.
Dr. Bralthwalte and hta wife greet
ed me warmly, a greeting which I
returned with sincerity, for I am
genuinely fond of my sister ln-law and
her husband. It Is a liking as strong
as my aversion to Dicky's other sis
ter, Elizabeth Harrison, whose rela
tionship to her mother and sister I
never have been able to explain ex
cept by atavism. Then after a cordial
word to Lilian and Marlon Harriet
Bralthwalte turned to Dicky.
"Richard, you absurd boy,” ehe
scolded, "what did you mean by pic
tying your apartment In such awful
''-Colors? Why. It's charming!"
"Delightful," big Edwin Bralthwalte
echoed, his eyes following his wife's
around the room while I telegraphed
a glance of appreciation and thankful
nesa to Lillian, and preened myself a
bit at Dicky's look of astonished ap
proval.
Lillian hart softened the old fash
ioned and ugly electric chandelier
over the table with Impromptu shades
fashioned from the soft-tinted paper
surrounding the flowers, and decked
it with trailing vines. Instead of
being the ugliest thing in the room
't was suddenly the prettiest striking
i note which Lillian had carried out
n the decking of the table beneath it.
And the softened light mellowed and
lent beauty to everything else In the
room. Kven the airocious coarse lace
■urtalr.s at the windows became dell
-ate and filmy In the glamour of that
rolorlng. <
I enjoyed their Inspection to the
full, and then, remembering the apart
ment upstairs exactly like our own
which I had tried to make comfort
ible for my Sister ln law, but which
I was afraid would now appear doubly
unattractive by contrast, I hastened
0 explain.
"I am afraid Dicky is partly right.
Harriet. These rooms are awful from
pn artistic standpoint, although they
are clean and comfortable. But Mrs.
Dnderwood Is a genius at this sort of
thing, and I turned''her loose In here
a few minutes ago with the results
you see.” f
h, “l thought I lamped your fine talian
mitt,” Dicky commented with a
grandiose bow to Lillian. ‘‘But, Har
riet,” drawing a chair forward and
putting her into It. ”1 am afraid day
light will compel your agreement with
me that it Is nothing but a dump,
pure and simple.”
•T wish I had one like It,” his sister
retorted, and, remembering Dicky’s
captious criticism, I could not resist
flashing him a triumphant grin as I
answered:
"i’ou have the one directly above
Ihls on the next floor. Would you
like to go up there and rest for a
few minutes while I get dinner on
the table7”
•'Oh! Indeed I would.” sh« an
swered, promptly rising. "How
about you, F.dwln?”
Her big husband looked up qulzzi
cally from the armchair In which he
had ensconced himself. Marlon wus
perched on his knee, and his strong
fine face wore the contented look
which the proximity of a child al
ways brings to him.
"you couldn't drag me from this
spot with twice 20 wild horses." he
said firmly. “I will consent to wash
the dust from my hands arid face
before dinner, but I !<r" v Madge
will let me come down hers.”
The difference in th>- iiutuo each
gave me was Indicative of the person
ality of each.* Harriet, who Inherits
I lie dignity and precision of her
mother, always addresses toe by my
full name of Margaret, although I
do not think she dislikes the dlmlnu
ive as does my mother In law. Hut
Kdwin Bralfhwalie. faniojs surgeon,
llwn.va culls me Madge, the name
which Dicky has endeared to me,
md which no one before him had
ever given me.
"The keys of I hr flat an- jours.”
1 told him, smiling. ' Dicky will do
the honors whenever you are ready."
"Tea, and I’ll pull out gome man
size towels for you. Edwin,” my hug
band retorted, "Instead of those
pocket handkerchiefs women term
guest towels.
"Lillian, I leave them end the
vegetable* In your hands." I said re
signedly. "Come, Harriet, I’ll show
you your rooms. Which bags do you
wish with you now? Dicky will take
them up."
She waved Dicky back, as he bent
with alacrity toward the suitcases
piled In the corner of the living room.
"I need only this.” Shs picked up a
small, overnight bag of handsome
leather. "The rest will do when we
go up to our room for the night."
Her ton* and words were casual,
yet someway I knew that my stately
sister-in law wished to see me by my
self.
An Unexpected
Invitation
is rarely ever exasperat
ing unless it finds you
with "nothing to wear.”
And those words, “noth
ing to wear,” usually
mean that you have no
garment in readiness for
any occasion.
Now is the time — the
height of the social sea
son—to look over your
entire wardrobe and
send us the gowns, suits,
coats and furs that need
a thorough cleaning and
artistic finishing.
We.keep your wardrobe
ready for all occasions.
