The theme you may select should be the basis around which the party is built. "‘Black Magic Party,"' ‘""‘The Haunted House,'' Buried Treasure Hunt," "The Witches' Rendezvous," ‘‘The Ghosts Gambol" are all suggestive names for the party you may be planning for All Hallows' eve. A Halloween party without decorations just isn't a party. They may be so simple that it takes very little time to put them up; pumpkins, cornstalks, and lighted jacko'-lanterns. Or you may decorate with witches, owls, black and orange crepe paper streamers, black and gray crepe paper moss dripping from the ceilings, or ghosts standing in spooky corners with eerie lights thrown upon them. The invitations should, of course, be indicative of the type of party you are giving. "On Halloween the ghosts will dance, The gnomes and goblins will sing and prance; So don your masks and costumes gay, the Haunted House be on your way. The door will be open till the clock tolls eight, So take my advice and don't be late."' In keeping with Halloween we must not forget the traditional games and pranks. The chamber of horrors, with . clanking chains, $ damp hands % > To By@R guests, and dark 3 tunnels should put the guests into the spirit of the party. Bobbing for apples, fortune telling and guessing games are all old favorites. These suggestions may bring to your mind others that may be old-time Halloween games. Last, but not least, a party is never rightly ended without proper refreshments. If it is a small group, buffet supper may be served; and if it is a large group, simple, but delicious refreshments will finish the evening with the necessary zip!

Our appetites for heavy, hot foods become dull and we readily accept and enjoy cool, refreshing salads and beverages. Just as we put on heavier clothing when the temperature drops, so do we discard using salads as the main dish and dessert of the menu.
