faces had been carved, candles being
placed inside the pumpkins. These
novel pumpkin Examinations also adofn-
ed the piazza. and one large, roguish-
looking yellow countenance was perch
ed upon the top OF the veranda. There
was also o large pumpkin on the newell
post In the main hallway, which was
adorned with corn and various garden
products, the subdued light thrown
upon the scene producing very pic
tnresQue appearance. In many of the
apartments the ceiling was hung with
corn, with huskings all on just as they
were plucked from the garden, while
leaves, stalks, poles and various other
novel decorations figured in the dis
play. Passing through the hall
way out into the large
kitchen annex the guests were ushered
into veritable harvest bower, the dec
orations Of corn and other like articles
being profuse. At one end of the kitch-
en- sat two darkies with iddles, and the
participants danced around a huge. old
fashioned fireplace that stands in the
middle Of the room. Those old-time,
jolly dances like Tucker, Virginia Reel,
and the like were nnraveled with great
merriment. On large table in the
kitchen was great barrel Of cider, also
a large consignment Of chestnuts and
all the other Accomplishments of Hal
low'een. The participants were large
ly Spinsters and their gentlemen
friends, with q few outside guests,
The ladies were requested to
wear bingham aprons, which they
did, and to bring along with them ging-
ham bows to match, and these were
placed in the gentlemen's dressing room
for them to select partners that matched
as they came down stairs. The supper
consisted Of pumpkin pies, ginger bread,
cookies, doughnuts and cider, and these
appetizing dishes disappeared with an
avidity that was startling. Even the
old time parlor games that filled US
with such ineffable delight in our adol-
esceut days were revived with much
merriment. such as sack-Out-of-the
room, On-the-green-carpet-as-w e-stand
and everything but 'Postoffice."
One fascinating blonde is said
to have captured three oscula-
tions. Then there was bobbing for ap-
pies, candle races and other games.

with Mr.. VIII Dovener victor among
the gentlemen. The agreeable hostess
was at all times assisted in the ddispens-
ing of hospitality by her sister, Miss
Ian Hubbard, g HeIostt attractive young
lady, and also by Mr.. Arthur Hubbard.
IL was delightful affair throughout.
