The notable entertainments of So
cial nature during the week were the
Halloween parties. They were numer-
Gus, and all were thoroughly enjoyable.
The popular SuperstltionS connected
with this day admit of many oppor-
tunities for the hostess who possesses
the necessary tact to arrange affairs
of nature which would be considered
highly unconventional at another time.
The soirees on Monday evening were
varied in character, each having some
feature to distinguish it from the Ordi-
nary entertainments. The meetings
of the clubs during the past six days
especially those d. oted to cards as the
form of amusement, were all of very
enjoyable nature. During the coming
week there will be several large enter
tainmentS, one or two musical affairs
and innumerable Soirees. Several of
the church congregations are arrang-
ing bazaars to be given during this
month and the early part of December.

displayed Assisting the host and
hostess in receiving their guests were

give color to the occasion, and old
