rettily carved on the edges. HALLOWE'EN SUPPER MENUS. A suggestive menu is the following: _Goblins' Broth, Elves' Fingers_ _Fairy Rings_ _Chicken and Celery Salad in Mayonnaise Triangles_ _Almond Butter Hearts_ _Strawberry Jelly Crescents with Whipped Cream_ _Witches' Wands, The Cake of Doom_ _Fruit, Nuts, Bonbons_ _Coffee_ The goblins' broth is merely a delicious beef or chicken bouillon, the elves' fingers, strips of brown bread and butter, and the fairy rings mushroom patties baked in ring moulds. To make the salad use any favorite recipe for chicken salad, and mix it with a bright golden mayonnaise to which enough aspic jelly has been added to make it quite firm when cold. Pour into a square mould to set, cut into dainty triangles just before it is to be served, and lift carefully with a broad thin-bladed spatula. Serve on crisp lettuce leaves on gilt-edged plates. Spread white bread with almond butter and cut into heart shapes. Mould the strawberry jelly in half moons and serve with a spoonful of whipped cream (made golden with the yolk of egg) between the "horns." The witches' wands are most delicious. Roll puff paste thin, sprinkle lightly with finely chopped blanched almonds, press the rolling pin lightly over again, and cut in strips not over two inches wide. Wind from the small end of the pointed tin tubes called lady lock sticks, and have each layer slightly overlay the preceding one. Set the tubes across a baking pan and bake in a good oven to a deep yellow. When done remove from the oven and push the paste from the tube. Just before serving fill with pineapple meringue. Have bonbons in all kinds of suggestive shapes; brownies, witches, brooms, rings, crescents, triangles, et cetera. A PIE PARTY FOR THANKSGIVING SEASON. Thanksgiving is the pie season _par excellence_. The very name calls up visions of old fashioned, buttery shelves loaded down with rows upon rows of the flaky wheels and delicious fillings. A new idea in entertaining for Thanksgiving, "the pie party," makes use of this American product. The scheme is an excellent one for the day itself or for any time during Thanksgiving season. To prepare for a pie party, get together as many pie plates as you can beg, borrow or buy. A couple of dozen will be needed at least. Arrange tables along the wall of the room in which the guests are to be received, and place the pie plates upon these tables. Cover the table
