"HORROR" PARTIES.

VINO would ever suppose that pleasure
could be derived from horro-? The girls
are forever racking their brains for soma
new form OF amusement Lately they hit
upon an original idea, which, when carried
out. gave all who were present an immense
amount of pleasure The entertainment
was called Horror party" AMI the plan
was for each girl and young man to bring
with them their own especial horror
Ihere was dinner first. 20 which eight
cen young people were asked. The .'hor-
rors were not unwrapped or disclosed to
public view until after the meal was over.

a moment, to return with neatly dcne-up
packages. tied with gay ribbons in tissue

'horrors. IL would he almost impossible
to describe all of them. but one can form

One young man brought a basket with a
large black cat in it, which. when let
loose, began to prance around the room at
lively gait. Another object was bottle
or some nasty cheap perfume, which one
young girl insisted was her pet horror!
Still another brought an old dilapidated
cestor, which she said had haunted her
ever since she was child, and bad in that
way become her perfect horror" as IL
always hung over her bed i'm The nursery.
Then there were hideous yellow plaid era
watts, cabbage, bottle of musk, which,
mngling its perfume with the cabbage,
made most charming and cSthetic COM
bination. One girl brought pair of white
satin slippers which had always been too
tight for her, and what greater horror can
there be than tight dancing shoes? A
toy frog with rubber tube attached, which
made it hop IN the most natural way, was
among the list; also paper rat, a Japan
ese toy snake, and last, but not least, an
oyster. 1t seams that some one has a
horror of oyst ars!
After the fun Of examining into one an
others pet horror was over. an impromptu
cotilon was arranged, and the horrors
used as favors. For originality and hi
larity the evening certainly bore the palm
Dancing was kept up until quite late, and
the girls and their partners left their
horrors behind.

I've walked to the piazza, where stands
the Church of San Antonio. The organ
was pealing and we knew the people were
at benediction. The few loungers outside
did not notice us. and before 1 could say a
word Maceo had scribbled few lines on a
sheet of paper from his notebook and
nailed 1t to one of the church door posts
with his knife Then he took off his hat
while the benediction was being pro-

him. carelessly. as it were. across the
plaza. Round the corner we auickened our
pace. and in fifteen minutes more we were
in the saddle and making tracks for Lake

The notice which Maceo had nailed to
the church door read as follows:

Suddenly the amused smiles of those round
her and the significant hush brought her to

and whispered to me in frightened voice.

She did so, rather miserably. vainly trying
to extract from me at intervals what the
matter was. and when dessert came / filled
her glass with champagne and told her to
