e Halloween Par BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. WOMAN’S PAGE. THE EVE ty for Children THE _GAME IS TO LIFT THE HOB! CARRY IT STANDING UPRIGHT ON THE WOOD ACROSS THE ROOM. | Halloween can be celebrated with plenty of fun without disturbances, and it is this sort of good time that should be encouraged by parents. Give the youngsters plenty of merriment under good control and they will not 1dng to do many petty things that are annoying to the neighborhod, nor go to the excess of destruction that some- times follows. Keep the children out of mischief by supplying them with fun of the right sort. To have a children’s Halloween party start so soon after school closes for the afternoon that it is all the youngsters can do to be ready for it is a wise pre- cautionary measure. See that the fun is lively. Let the children bob for apples in pails of water until they are tired of this sport. Have apples sus- pended by strong cords from the top of door frames, and let the youngsters try to see who can get a bite from one of, them in the shortest time. ‘When they tire of thesé two regula- tion Halloween activities, pass around doughnuts and hobgoblin cookies. The latter are nothing but round cookies with currants pressed into them to form features. The more grotesque they are the better. The baking will often distort eyes, nose -and mouth, however regularly the currants may have been put in beforehand. ‘When their after-school appetite s appeased, keep up the activities. Make potato goblins before the .children ar- rive. There should be half a dozen for a small party and a dozen for a large group, for every one should be kept too busy to feel bored. Divide the company into two sides, stand the goblins up in a row at one end of the réom and give each player a shingle or a piece of wood of like proportions. Have an overturned bushel basket or & waste paper basket at the other end WORLD:- FAMOUS STORIES RAISING THE WIND BY JAMES FENIMORE COOPER e James Fenimore Cooper, 1789-1851, was an American novelist, author of “The Last of the Mohicans, " “Deerslayer,” “The Prairie,” “Jaap,” I asked of my companion as we drew near to the hamlet where I intended to pass the night and the comforts of a warm supper on a sharp, frosty evening began to haunt my im- egination, “Jaap, how much money have you about you?” “I, Masser Mordaunt? Golly, but dat & berry droll question, sah!” "I ask because my own stock is re- duced to just one York , which goes by the name of onl: ninepence in this part of the world.” . "?lt na little, :ftu“l;o tm";‘, sah, or two gentleum and two large, hungry horses. " Berry little, indeed, sah. I wish he war’ more.” “Yet I have not a copper more. I fave $1,200 for the dinner and baiting #nd cats at noon; in Continental cur- tency, that is, which takes a bale to feed a horse.” “Yes, sah—dat conternental, sah, I supposes—no great t'ing, a'tar all.” “It's a great thing in sound, Jaap, but not much when it comes to the teeth, as you percetve. ‘we must eat and drink, and our nags must eat, too—I suppose they may drink without paying.” “Yes, sah, dat true 'nough, yah, yah, yah!” How easily that negro laughed! “But 'e cider wonnerful good in dis part of 'e country, young masser; just needer sweet, nor sour, den he strong as ‘e jack- . “Well, Jaap, how are we going to get any of this good cider of which you speak?” “You t'ink, sah, dis part of ’e coun- iry been talk too much lately ‘bout Patty Rism and e country, sah?” “I am afraid Patty has been over- done here, as well as in most other counties.” I may observe here that Jaap always imagined the beautiful creature he had heard so much extolled and commended her for her comeliness and virtue was a certain young woman of this name with whom all Congress was unac- countably in love at the same time. ‘““Well, den, sah, dere no hope but our wits. Let me be masser tonight and you mind ole Jaap, if he want good supper. Jest ride ahead, Masser Mor- daunt, and give de order like Gen. Jumen&ge son, and leave it all to ole aap.” As there was not much to choose, I did ride on, and soon ceased to hear the hoofs of the negro's horse at my heels. SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY. Nevertheless, | 1} A 0~29 ,GOBLIN WITH THE SHINGLE AND of the room. The basket should be on its side and covered with brown paper or calico to look like a cave. The game is to lift the hobgoblin with the shingle and carry it standing upright on the wood across the room and land it in the witch's cave. The potatoes should be chosen for their smooth round shape and have features cut in them. The eyes should have pepper corns pressed in as pupils and a bit of pimento should supply the red tongue. Four stout toothpicks should be stuck in for legs, and the hobgoblin should remain standing on them as it is carried on the shingle across the room. Give a prize to the child who is most successful in the shortest time. The supper can be a simple one as befits Halloween celebrations. It may consist of sandwiches of various kinds, pickles and pumpkin pie for the final course, followed by candies, preferably home made. Or more of a supper may be served. Baked beans with sliced pickles and buttered bread followed by ice cream cones and candy is one menu. Another is a baked custard corn pud- ding with sliced meat and potato chips and buttered rolls. Follow this with apple ple and ice cream and candy afterwards. For a centerplece use a lighted pumpkin hobgoblin. When supper is finished have the company divided into two groups fc a small gathering or four for a larger one. One group goes out, while the others remain together. The children who have gone out appear one at a time dressed in a sheet and the com- pany must guess who the ghost is. It must not speak and should try to dis- guise walk and figure. Each group should take its turn in the ghost's walk. The child who guesses the most correct names of the ghosts should be awarded a prize. (Copyright, 1028.) 1 reached the inn an hour ere Jaap ap- peared, and was actually seated at a capital supper before he rode up as one belun:lnsmonly to himself. Jaap had taken off the Littlepage emblems and had altogether a most in- dependent air. His horse was stabled alongside of mine, and I soon found that he himself was at work on the remnants of my supper as they re- treated toward the kitchen. A traveler of my appearance was ac- commodated with the best parlor as a matter of course, and having appeased my appetite I sat down to reach some documents that were connected with the duty I was on. No one could have imagined that I had only a York shilling, which is a Pennsylvania “levy” or a Connecticut “ninepence” in my purse, for my air ‘was that of one who could pay for all he wanted—the certainty that in the long run my host could not be a loser giving me a proper degree of confidence. I had just got through with the docu- ments and was thinking how I should employ the hour or two that remained until it would be time j5 when I heard Jaap tunirg barroom. Like moSt negroes, the fellow had an ear for music and had been indulged in his taste until he played as well as half the country fiddlers that were to be met. i ‘The sound of a fiddle in a small ham- | let of a cool October evening was cer- tain of its result. In half an hour the smiling landlady came to invite me to join the company with the greateful information I should not want for a partner, the premutl girl in the place having come in late and being still unprovided for, On entering the barroom I was re- ceived with plenty of awkward bows and curtsies, but with much simple and well meaning hospitality. Jaap's own salutations were very elaborate, and al- together of a character to prevent the suspicion of our ever having met before. ‘The dancing continued for more than two hours with spirit, when the time admonished the village maidens of the necessity of retiring. Seeing an indi- cation of the approaching separation, Jaap held out his hat to me in a re- spectful manner, when I magnificently dropped my shilling into it in a way to attract attention and passed it around among the males of the party. One other gave a shilling, two clubbed and actually produced & quarter, sev- eral threw in sixpence or fourpence- halfpennies, and coppers made up the balance. By way of climax, the landlady, who was good-looking and loved dancing, publicly announced that the fiddler and | his horse should go scot free until he left the place. By these ingenious means of Jaap's| I found in my purse next morning seven and sixpence in silver, in addi- tion to my own shilling, besides coppers enolégh to keep a negro in cider for a week. I have often laughed over Jaap's management, though I would not per- mit him to repeat it, Chicken With Rice. Parboil a plump chicken in just enough water to cover it, adding salt | it way to cool. Chop two green peppers fine, first removing all the seeds. Chop also two medium-sized onlons. Slice a small bottle of stuffed olives fine and add one tablespoonful of capers. Try out two tablespoonfuls of fat salt pork and add two tablespoonfuls of finely chopped raw ham, with the onions, peppers, capers and olives, and cook all to a nice brown, then add half a cupful of well washed and dried rice. Str constantly for a few minutes, then leave to brown while you cut the chicken in pleces for serving.

October 29, 1859.—The improvement long desired oy the residents of the southeast portion of the seventh ward —the draining of the marsh along James Creek—has now been completed, it was announced today, so far as the city corporation has control; -that is, from the head of the marsh to P street south. Rosidents of this section of the city look upon this improvement both as a sanitary measure and as adding to the value of property. Below P street the tide makes up and the water extends over a large portion of the grounds which were recently added to the United States Arsenal. If the Federal Govern- ment would continue the drainage diich through the marsh on its prop- ertv, the tidewater would be confined to a narrow creek, and all that marsh would be available for improving the arsenal grounds. It is said that the cost of this additional work would be very small compared with the benefits to be derived from it. James Hooe, a free colored man, was taken under arrest before Justice Donn and fined $10 and costs for faflure to comply with the registry law. This is a law of the city corporation, and it re- quires “every free negro or mulatto” within five days after arriving in Wash- ington to record his or her name on the books of the corporation. Any such colored person who fails to do this may not only be fined less than $10 or more, but may be ordered by the mayor to leave the city if he considers the latter course advisable. Business on the Chesaneake & Ohio Canal at Georgetown is very brisk. Large numbers of boats are arriving daily from Cumberland and other up- river points loaded with coal, grain and flour, limestone, wood, hay and other products. The entire line of the canal to Cumberland has been repaired since the recent breaks caused by high water in the river and is now in good navi- gable condition. Owing to the prevailing northwest gales and the difficulty in obtaining vessels to freight articles from the Geors>town wharves, the shipments of coal this week from Ray’s dock have fallen off to only 851 tons. This coal and other produce shipped from George- town go principally to Northern and Eastern ports of the United States. DAILY DIET RECIPE SCALLOPS A LA SONTAG. Fresh scallops, one pint.

C, MONDAY, OCTOBER ’ T %% | DorothyDix|e Wise Young Man Chooses Wife He Can Look Up To, Says Writer, for He Patterns Himself After Her. Tm! old conception of the proper relationship between husband and wife was to place the man on a pedestal and have the woman burn incense at his feet. ¢ Needless to say, man evolved this charming theory, and mighty soothing and pleasant ¢ has been to his venity to have his superiority complex thus ministered to and to have some one upon wnom he could continually look down. Nor did the idea lack its appealing points for women, for it robbed the wife qf all responsibility and permitted her to slump and become merely her husband's rubber stamp. But the trouble with theories !s that they don't always work out, and in real life the husband is not always a giant and the wife a pigmy; the husband is not always an oracle and the wife a moron. On the contrary, very often the gray mare is the better horse. Frequently the wife has more intelligence, is better educated, has had a better social upbringing, and has even more business sense and is more of a go-getter than her husband. Nor is this to be deplored. As a matter of fact, when two are not evenly matched, it is far better for the man himself, and for the general interest of the family, for the wife to be the superior one. It is better for a man to marry above himself, as the phrase goes, than to marry below himself. .o HERE are many reasons for this. One is that in this country, at least, a man takes his social position as a general thing from his wife. She boosts him up or pulls him down. She decides whom they shall know and he gravitates to her crowd. When a woman marries she can open the doors of her own set to her husband, but a man cannot force his friends to accept his wife. Mary may marry a very rough diamond of a man and.take him with her into the houses of the elect, but if John marries an uncouth woman every door will be barred to her. 1t is the wife who makes the atmosphere of the home. If she is a cultured woman, she makes it a place of beauty and refinement, and gathers a delightful circle about her, but no matter how cultured and refined a man is he cannot give this stamp to his home, nor bring about him the people with whom he would like to associate if he is married to an illiterate and common woman. ‘Why a wife finds it easier to lift her husband up to her level than a husband does to lift his wife up to his level, must forever remain one of the inexplicable mysteries of matrimony. It just happens that way in life. If a man marries & broad-minded, tolerant, generous, sympathetic woman, he almost invariably becomes broad-minded and tolerant and generous too, but if he marries a woman who is mean, prejudiced, little and stingy, he becomes hard and narrow and mean, too. Over and over again I have seen the wife perform the miracle of making a silk purse out of the sow’s ear. I have seen a woman who married a man with polish his manners until he had the speech and bearing of a gentleman. I have seen fine wives develop all that was good in their husbands’ souls, and alas, I have seen the reverse of this. I have seen greedy women and women who wanted money and the things money buys turn men into thieves. I bave seen hard, selfish, jealous women make men forget the mothers who bore them. I tave seen dull, unimaginative women, without understanding or appreciation, put out the fire of ambition in a man’s soul and kill his every aspiration. But T have known very few men who ever really improved their wives. I have known very few neat men who ever cured an untidy wife of slovenliness. Very few educated men who ever taught uneducated wives to love to read and improve their minds. Very few generous men who ever opened the hand of a tight-fisted wife. s e IT- goes without saying that it is more important that children should have a superior mother than a superior father, because the mother’s influence is greater than the father's. She molds their characters. She makes the cnvironment in which they grow up. She forms their ideal. She sets her indelible stamp upon them. _If the mother is intelligent, she sees that her children have an education, but if she is uneducated, she lets the matter drift and they go to school, or not, or study, or not, as they choose.

REV. JOHN R. GUNN. God’s Wilderness School. ‘Text—“Therefore, behold! I will allure her and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. And I will give her vineyards from thence.” —Hos., ii.14-15. Here we have God alluring his people of Israel away into the wilderness, that He mxim speak_comfortably unto them. We all have our wilderness seasons— lonely periods, when_life seems dull, dreary and solitary. It is in such sea- sons that God seems to come closest to us and to speak to us most tenderly and comfortably. Indeed, it seems as though whenever God wants to get into close touch with us and speak inti- mately with us He to remove us from life’s ordinary interests and ex- cltements into some wilderness of en- forced inaction and quiet. In the midst of ordinary life we become so absorbed in earthly things that heavenly things are forgotten' or obscured. And so God has to bring us into some desert place of isolation in order to get cur atten- tion and give the eternal world a better chance to command our thought. God conducts a regular school in the wilderness, and we all need some train- Ing in this school. Indeed, until we have had one or more terms in this school we are not fully fitted and pre- ared for life. It is here that God rains and fits his people for the greater tasks which await them. “I will give her vineyards from thence.” Our lives are always made more fruitful through the culturing and cultivating we get in God's wilderness school. “Will bring her into the wilderness.” “Will give her vineyards from thence.” Israel's wilderness schooling was but God's way of preparing her for a more glorious national life and destiny. Let us never b2 impatient when brought into desert places. A course in God's wilderness seminary always makes life more radiant and blessed. (Copyright, 1928.) Lessons in English BY W. L. GORDON.
