One of the jolliest assemblages on
Halloween was the one that celebrated
the evening al he home of the Misses
Earls. All the appointments of the
rooms were wierdly suggestive of the
evening and its quaint customs. Hat
boxes, perforated with features sup
posed to resemble the human, were
placed over the electric lights. Jack-o-
lanterns had places of honors on the
pis1so, and window sills. Indeed they
were much in evidence everywhere
and the light from these seasonable
illuminators shone on pretty girls
gowned in white and with powdered
hair. All the usual Halloween games
were played and the menu included
Halloween pies
There were present Miss Preston,

The most unique of the numerous
Halloween parties was that given by
the Sunshine club at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. r. K. Thomas.
The guests proposed to enter the
house by the usual entrance but the
fates. in the form of the charming
young ladies whose dictum was law in
this case, ordained otherwise. One of
the white robed figures met the be-

him to window at the side of the
house. Here the ghostly guide raped
three times and was promptly answered
by another "spook'' who opened the
window and allowed the visitor to enter
in as dignified a manner as the circum-
stances admitted. He found himself in
a room lighted only by grinning Jack
o-lanterns. His guide beckoned him
and he followed to door on which was
painted a skull and cross bones and
below these the legend Abandon all
hope, We who enter here" He didn't
want to proceed further but he thought
he heard a faint feminine giggle from
the guide as he showed signs of
cowardice, and that nerved him for the
ordeal. He was piloted across the
river Styx (of sticks after he passed
the dreaded threshold to a chorus Of
groanS that made his hair rise. But
his troubles were not yet at an end.
He must be presented to the queen of

and helped to initiate and terrify the
next conner.
After supper the ghostly habiliments
were DOTTED and the young people be-
took themselves to the barnacle where
they danced until the wee sma' hours,
not at all saddened by their recent ex-
periences in Hades.

The students at Rowland hall babe
farewell to lessons and dull care on
Wednesday evening and celebrated
