FUNNY FACES FOR THE HALLOWEEN BOYS AND GIRLS WHAT would you think if on hal- loween you • were to see' coming down the dark street"? In which you live a queer aggregation of folk who seemed to have no heads at all? but instead merely gigantic pumpkin faces or carrot tops where ordinary heads and faces should be? Or what would.you think If you saw.. coming toward you a whole collection of black cats walking on their hind legs and wrapped up in sheets or quilts or over- coats? Nothing is too remarkable, to happen on halloween, and so you would attribute all these odd disturbances to the influence of the night's witchery and would perhaps think "that it was all an v Illusion* created 'for your be- wilderment by some Wise old fairy who* -was having his annual good \u25a0 time. But if. you , like ) you can yourself * be, one of a magical - company of the sort de- scribed. Tuesday night you may ap- pear as a pumpkin head, a black : cat, a carrot or a brownie and -he quite -sure that no one will- for a moment guess that your intelligent . self Is lurking , behind these - modest folk of the farm or the dell.: '•'. ';-?-•, Brownies are of many sorts and their clothesi are of different colors, but there . \u25a0t,-77r**,*yp7<mm7>myj-7.7.--\u25a0,,-•\u25a0 .... t-i.,. .- -\u0084 \u0084„--.. . . ......-- .are some shades which * are ? more char- acteristic of, them than others. For instance,*-,a blue \u25a0\u25a0 brownie is practically?? unknown, and a brownie with a pale pink •\u25a0 hat would hardly look;• like '\u0084h im- ? self. If i you want your , brownie to look natural paint his hat brown, red or green. His face should be brown * and his cheeks red. ' The other masks that are pictured on this page you may make from crepe paper printed with "the pumpkin faces, ,so that it is only necessary to cut the face out and to cut out?holes for the eyes and mouth. Then ' the mask should be pasted to a backing of plain crepe paper, which will give it more body. To make the mask still stronger and to prevent the cord or ribbon with . which it is to be tied oh? the head 'from .\u25a0 tearing the sides out you may use bonnet wire, which is;veryi pliable, as a sort of frame for the mask. ; Take two Xpieces of the ; wire and Rafter? you; have covered the' back of the pumpkin face with paste lay the wires around \u25a0 the edge, about i. half an inch from* the actual ! edge. One piece *ofthe] wire* is laid around the top and the; other around the bottom. They are about two inches ;;' longer ? than is;.:necessary, and where tho two pieces meet at the , sides the wires are twisted together and then loops of. the double wire are formed. The plain paper backing Is laid over the mask and covers the . wire, vWhen pressed down it serves to hold the wire In place. The ribbon or cord which is to. fasten the mask * to the head is fastened to the two wire loops at the? sides. "'". ? ; After-^tlio.„ two pieces of paper have been pasted .together and-before the paste is .dry you may mold the mask by ft slight pressure of the fingers to" the'shape of , the face. It will then, not be necessary, if the mask be well molded,';to,'cut out a place for tho nose, and the effect will lie more satisfactory in.-, the vegetable masks and in that of the cat. ~yj. X, The Carrot mask is made of rich yellow crepe paper and Is, really most attractive. By following the design In the picture you may make It look quite: like a gigantic edition of .a real carrot. -Green paper -Is used for the top of the carrot, the little bunch of foliage that makes this vegetable 80 attractive. This mask also Is pasted to a backing of plain paper and a wire Is used to strengthen the edge as In the pumpkin mask. ? - Qreen crepe paper Is used to make the carrot. It is better to cut out* a , triangle - for the nose, rounding down- ward at* the bottom. Tho eyes ? have round holes for? the center, and around ? this .Is - pasted a piece iof green paper cut ln ; a long oval. About quarter vof ?an inch above ; the eye is pasted a green eyebrow made of paper and cut tfke a very slim and long new moon. The ; mouth Is cut out like \a" shorter new moon with'the points upward "in- stead of downward. 1 Around this is :\u25a0, pasted .- a .- border of the ? green ? paper. -.= The ; paper is 'X wider above the mouth than below and extends at the /side in y upward points.?.y The edge is cut in Irregular points and curves to give tho mouth expression. This will;? be y easy enough for you to <: manage if \u25a0 you try the mouth on'•'the carrot before pasting? it. All that is necessary is to secure an amusing expression for your carrot false face, and to. do this you have only to try various shaped mouths until you are pleased. The cat mask is made of black crepe -paper and backed with the same. The markings of the face are made .with chalk and the ears are of stiff black paper -or of the crepe paper pasted on letter-paper. The cat has wonderful .whiskers,-,which;? are :?' made ; of •'white crepe or tissue* paper rolled "very tight.* A wisp of paper,- will roll up into a tiny strand * and; acquire a certain wiry quality which is very good for whis- kers.'
