for the wheelmen as the track at
Spring Lake Park was accepted by
them. 1t seemed as tho a world
of wheels could be seen spinning
around the track. Here as else
where can be seen many chic cos
tunes, both for the ladies and gen.
tlemeu, corduroy being the favor
ed material tor the gentlemen,
while costumes Of the ladies we're
as varied as the many hueS of
autumn leaves. As with admiring
eyes we beheld the devotees, fitting
here and there, more than one two
man was heard to say, not to ride
the wheel is too great a priyation
for me, there will be a disturbance
in the family but who would hesi-
tate for a pleasure like that,
The echo of the Wedding Bells
scarce die out, ere their happy, sill
very notes ring out joyously and
gladly with the plighting of loving
hearts forever and a day. We'd

Ioween evening, sought admission
into the future by looking into the
bosom of a tranquil lake, or down
the well to behold the "some one
that would be the sweetheart for
always. This being denied, ducking
for apples, cracking nuts and cake
cutting were enjoyed by those whose
future yet is the beautiful day that
is to bring them the wish of their
heart of hearts. Black eyes chal
Ienged grey, while brown and blue
looked the sweet invitation to =
battle with Cupid, The Ma
irons and "Colonels" found great
delight in six handed euchre.
The merry peals otlaughter evinced
the fact, that while the SHOWS OF
winter were slowly falling upon the
world, the hearts were young and
gay now as on the Halloween dear

dewy hour And how graciously
did she respond to such, could it
require sage or prophet to pre-
