(2) The 13th of February, 1903, came on Friday. (8) It is rather difficult a game in a small apace, but I will try. Prepare sheets of paper with the name of each individual present writ-ten on them, and opposite the names are three columns with the words weight, height and age at the top. Each guest ia then requested to write orposite the name bis decision In regard to the height, weight and age of each person. Make out a aheet that is correct a) nearly as you can, and then find out which one has made the moat correct guesses. To the one who has the most, a prize might be awarded. The fun comes frrna ascertaining the correct height and weight Tb- - height ia determined by measurement ths weight by someone who ia expert on guessing weights, unless you should happen to have scales suf-ficiently large. Each person's age will be found on their own paper. Each person "cor-rects" his own paper by checking up with the correct paper aa the height weight and age Is read off, and the difference between his guess and the correct one he places in a sep-arate column. When these are added up the smallest number is the nearest correct Another game which causes greaj amuse-Dv.- nt is to place a large smooth apple on the floor and have each one try in turn to pick the apple up on a teaspoon, without the use of the fingers. To the one picking up the apple the greatest number of times in one minute goes the priae of the apple. Call ayain. Dear Miss Brooks: We have been reading your Interesting Con-ner, and would like to ask a few questions. (1) When waa Hallowe'en first started, and who did it get Its name? (2) In giving a party how could you entertain boys and girls from lb age of fourteen to aixteen if the boys dta't dance? (3) If a very dear girl friend of yours waa Introduced to a boy, and you were not and he took a liking to you, and you received a letter from him, should you answer? BABE. TOOTS, PEGGY, Utah. Very glad you find my corner Interesting. You are welcome. (1) Hallowe'en, or Hallow-eve- n, ia the evening of Oct. tl. That even-ing Is however, because it ia the eve of the Christian festival of All SainU ihlch falls on November 1. It means Holy Eve. About thirteen centuries ago pagans brated November 1 aa All Saints Day, when spirits, both good and evil, were believed to be on earth. The Druids also celebrated their harvest featlval about that time, and many atrange ceremonies were performed, and so the Hallowe'en diversions of today are some which originated centuries ago. The name cornea from the old English word "halwe," or aa we now aay, holy. (2) In this aame issue you will find this answer for "Darkle." (3) If yon know this boy is respectable in every way, but you should use discretion. Dear Miss Brooks: Will yoo pleaae eniwer a question for me? I like a boy very much who la the same age I am. We went together about three months and then we had a quarrel and quit Another of my boy friends tells me this boy still loves me but he Is going with another girl he does not like as well. What can I do to get him back? As ever, PINK, Wyo. Nothing for ou to do, dear. He will re-turn to you if he w( hes to. You can be pleas-ant and agreeable when you find yourself In his society, but it ia not your privileve or p'ace to make overtures to him In any way, unleva, of one, jou srer at fault wln your "quarrel" occuned It Is always "right" to admit you were "wrong," you know.

So long as the demand for slenderizing clothes continues to be Insistent, designers must make them, and the trick that pays best lies In making them Ingen-iously. 2fo matter how simple the gown, If It presents some new touch regulation party frock and the other a model that will serve for almost any dress-u-p affair that Is likely to happen along. They are exponents of the mode for Juniors, created by experts In designing and their styling Is above criticism.

The two formal afternoon frocks shown here follow the main traveled nmt as far as style Is concerned; but each In Its own peculiar way. . In the crepe dress at the left, everything haiKS upon the yoke, which Is a small, plain affair, with a strap extension at each side, over the arms. Other straps, made of folds of the crepe, share the responsibility of supporting the drrss and provide something of a substitute for sleeves. The bodice, at the top. Is smocked where lt Is Joined to the yoke. Two colors In faille ribbon are used for the girdle and sash, with a niching of the darker color across the front and back of the gown. Short loops and long ends fall from the gir-dle at the left side. Such a frock might be elaborated with bead em-broidery on the yoke, and a pair of georgette sleeves, full and gathered In t the wrists to a band, might supple- - made clothing or to take the styles shown In the shops as guides and copy them In home-mutl- e garments. Any girl, from eight to fourteen, will" like the frock of velveteen shown at the left of the picture. It Is espe-cially smart in blue or brown, with Its round neck and elbow sleeves outlined with three rows of very narrow silk bruld in vivid shades of bright rolor. These colors are repeated In the twlxted girdle of faille ribbon in a I'onmn stripe pattern, with a silver buckle tit each side. A snh of narrow futile ribbon in three colors might re-place the Roman striped ribbon and rosettes might take the place of the buckles. That children's dresses have longwulsted bodices and straight skirts almost goes without saying they are universal for the younger ' girls. ; At the right n pretty party frock, with full bodice and short sleeves, Is 1 made of georgette crepe.

Differed Wlder From the Puritans, Though Popular Belief Has Coupled ThemFormer Body Permeated '.. With Aristocracy. , Thanksgiving always suggests to us that double Impulse of respecting Christian Ideals and of feasting plcnti- - : fully. The latter element Is quite pre dominant In the general attitude to-ward the day. It would be a good Idea to hyphen-ate the words "Thanks-Glvlng,- " for In that way the word "giTlng" rather than "taking" would be emphasised and thus he In better accord with the true spirit of the day. In any event, we are all very thankful that In our country we still express our gratitude to the Lord In the same language used by the Pilgrims three hundred years ago in 1621, writes Prof. D. J. Cigrand, ' member of faculty. University of Il linois, In the Chicago American. It la to be regretted that so many people use the terms Pilgrim and Puritan Interchangeably. In reality they are widely different Pilgrims Uberal-Mlnde- The Pilgrims were liberal-minde- d people. They were double Protestants, having rebelled against not only the Roman Christian methods but also against the regal or English govern-ment church. In the belief that they could not reform the former and cer-tainly not amend or change the lat-ter, they chose to go to Holland and later to America, there to worship as they pleased. The Puritans believed they could alter the Episcopal or government church, so they remained faithful to the regal religion and the sovereign. The Pilgrims were liberal minded, far more so than they are given credit for being, while It was the Puritans who were strict. The Pilgrims taught equality. They aid "love one another," and their united these two colctfe n4 they formed the Congregational church. The. pictures we paint of these peo-ple cause the rising generation to shun contact with these early Americans. There Is more cruelty In the average-size- d communi-ty today, there is more tyranny In the land this moment among Industrial classes, more unreasonable civic tax-ation, to say nothing of various re-ligious restrictions, than was exacted in those days of the Pilgrims' regime. There have been more unjust seen sntions against these "nation found era" than Americans realize. Those people were not half as "blue" or severe as "we have been led to be-lieve. They were human and most charitable. Let us teach aud preach to love and revere them. Laws Did Not Exist, la Claim. Arthur Gilman, a great authority on legal affairs In the colonies, writes that "It Is almost needless to say that the blue laws, which have been made the butt and Joke and ob-ject of violent objurgation, were never in existence In that colony, but were manufactured by a writer who desired to hold the colony up to ridicule." Certified copies of these blue' laws fall to materialize. In fact. New Jersey, Virginia, and parts of the South, were by far more strict about the observance of the "First Day" as the Sabbath was called. New Jersey forbade traveling for pleasure, or oth-er similar recreation. Infraction of these rules might be punished by the whipping post, a line or Imprisonment Let us not point our fingers too sharply at the Pilgrims. It may surprise some to rend thnt rum, Madeira wine and punch, with plenty of mule power (kick) could be obtained In Pilgrim communities. The ordinances specified the prices to be charged. Ladles often served the drinks at the public taverns, which were under the Immediate Jurisdiction of the coun-ty laws. Those taverns were clean, wholesome places, often serving on the Sabbath as pieces of religious worship. We are all glad that the pioneers had good things and knew bow to use them. Stirred Punch With Sword. I have before me a long and well-define- d account of a "stag" Pilgrim party. That famed military spirit Capt Miles Standlsh. hud a Ms bowl of punch before him. The ao Captain Miles Standish, at the Pilgrims' "Stag" Party, Stirred the Steaming Punch With His Shining 6wor"t : Z count tells of the captain stirring the 'steaming contents with his sword. The Juice of the grape was osed In a sanctified way, not In that reckleos, tfehflucMng wny enj cnrpngotinhlc fashion of the present. The pleas-ures and merriments, too. were of a sane and profitable character, tend-ing to uplift and make better the en-tire soclul fabric. Let us not find so much fault with our rilgrira ancestors. The mothers knew how to darn stocklnjs In those days. They do now, only the word lias a different meaning. Give these pioneers of republican Institutions and democratic ways a place In your heart Give credit and honor where It belongs. That form of truth will not only make ns free but will keep us free. cordiality and Viospiunty towarn new-comers Is one of the sweetest memor-ies of pioneer America. They were ever anxious to win peo-ple to Christ, without completely mak-ing over tie ve rccralt. It Is wr.mg ' to charge thsm with even "exacting that all In their midst be of their faith," for of the 102 who came over hi tlw Mayflower, all were not of the same ttith. When the Puritans of Boston (and they came many years subsequent to the Pilgrims) made It so unpleasant for Roger Williams, It was the Pll-gri-community of Plymouth which welcomed him and made his trip to Rhode Island safe by Insuring kindly treatment from the Indiana. Williams j was banished by the Turltans for as serting "It Is wrong to prevent ft man from holding office If be be not a Chrlsllan." Clung to Old English Idea. The Puritans, too, were aristocrat-ic. They dung to the old English Idea that a man was measnred by hit blue blood and again some blue and bloated pocketbook. But not so with the Pilgrims. They cared nothing about blood and less about the king's metallic picture. The Puritans were the Republicans of Kew England and e Pilgrims were the Democrats. The former decided they wonld not associate with the chsv going "pfjnull-t- y community," as they cnlled the I'll (trims.
