 Come, brave the spooks and witch so
 grim,
 And learn your future history
 So it proved to be at the Friendly league last evening. The real witch gypsy in her peaked hat and sombre garb croOned over the camp fire, where a kettle of aromatic herbs was brewing above the glowing fagots. On the entertainment hall stage this in teresting gypsy decided to pitch her camp, and the bower of autumn foli- age was realistic bit of natures woods. The illusion was complete, and it was difficult to believe that the personified witch was other than reh ty, so perfectly did Mrs Lathrop aes1l-e- herself to the roll. Her mysterious for tune telling, and the future destines that she held out to all who came with in her magic spell, and the lucky bags distributed by her possessed a charm for those who were so fortunate as to be members of the Friendly. league. The hall was lighted from the side wall gas jets which were effectively screened by real jack O lanterns and the ceiling lights covered with red gave a wierd glow to the scene. The hundred happy girls and women that were present, the generous supply Of refreshments provided by the league members, and the interest which had been shown by the soliciting commit tee among the members was a pleas ing feature. The superintendent, Miss Watrous, who has received a cordial welcome in Waterbury. was pleased with the spirit of the occasion, and found herself surrounded by a host of friends, so that this. her first social gathering, is one to be remembered with satisfaction and pleasure.
