olden times" the proverbial jack-lanterns,
shocks of corn-stalks, boughs of autumn foil
age, ETC., being much in evidence. The refresh
ments served were also along the line OF the
good things our forefathers Toasted on. Many
grotesque and amusing costumes were shown,
conveying the supposition that attics and old
clothes presses must have been ransacked to
produce such ancient habiiments. Dancing
was the chief diversion, music being provided
by Blaesius' orchestra and royal good time
was had by all present. Much of the credit for
the complete success of the entertainment is
due the projectors, the young ladies of the
Sewing circle" who labored earnestly in ar
ranging the details.
