AT. A GHOST PICNIC.
Form of Summer Entertainment
49, Which Affords More Fun Than
Anything Ever Tried.

A fine moonlight evening with the
barometer at a satisfactory altitude
is one of the essentials for this form of
entertainment. On the invitation
cards guests should be notified that a
white costume of some description is
necessary. It may be silk, satin or cot
ton, according to the fancy or means
of the wearer, but pure white, without
spot or blemish, it must be.
Since it is not every one, especially
among the matrons, and of course all
the men, who is in possession of a
white costume, some of the shifts to
which the guests will resort will be
sure to add immeasurably to the mer-
riment of the occasion. So much the
better; a "ghost" picnic should be
wildly hilarious. The scene of the
gathering should not be fixed too far
from home, and should be chosen, to
some extent, on account of it's easy
access. Instead of arranging pre-
1iminary meet, as at the ordinary pic
mic, the guests should find their way to
the place in family groups or singly,
as the case may be. It will, of course,
depend upon the individual humor of
each guest to make his or her appear
ance on the scene as ''ghostly" as may

this country, but as the United States con.
