when was passing along AtwelPs ave-
nue., a crowd of boys went running along
aud with loud howl a cabbage was

out from the gateway. and with broom in
hand ATTEMPTED to demonstrate with her
tormentors in forcible manner. But
she was too late for the fleet feet OF the boys
and with an expression of disgust she
turned back into the gateway.
Halloween is thought to be a night
when witches, devils, and other mischief
making beings are all abroad on their
banefuI midnight errands; particularly
those aerial people, the FAIRIES, are said TO
hold a grand anniversary, says Robert
Burns. So the NEWS reporterwent about
last night and found mischief-makers-
that is boys--everywhere but he did not
find the FAIRIES until he reached the rooms s
of the PROVIDENCE Evangelical Young
Women's Christian Association.
A very pleasant program was rendered
at the rooms which were crowded with
members and friedns of the association.
Music was furnished by the chorus of the
Pilgrim Congregational Sunday school,
readings by Miss Blanche Russell and
piano solos by George Goulding. A bright
fire was burned on the hearth and then
nuts were roasted. Halloween tricks and
games were indulged In and the party
did not break up until late hour. The
committee OF arrangements was ms fol-
lows: Miss Alice Tourtellot, Miss Mary
Salisbury, Mrs. N. Il. Arendt, Miss
Blanche Russell. Miss Vesta Russell and
Miss Emily j. Carhart.
