quiet than in years past The young
ladies tried their fortunes and OF
course know their future. A number
of extra cops were on duty with the
regular ones thereby preventing the
small boy from making the occasion
boisterous and troublesome. Numer-
Gus social gatherings were held and

ceived the thimble in her portion OF
the hollowe'en cake, rejoices in this
time receiving the ring. We extend
her our best wishes.
