consented TO stay over upon earth Just
one night more To preside over Hallow-

Taylor for the Tuesday club and their
husbands. When the fortunate guests
arrived 'the latch string was out" for
them TO pull. in the shape Of yellow and
white ribbons-the club colors-white for
the gentlemen with eonundrum upon
them; yellow for the ladies with an an

jack-o' LANTERNS OF unusually fine work

and intricate designs in autumn leaves
were upon the walls: yellow chrysanthe-

pumpsins-all seen in tho mellow light Of

tons were duly admioed and greetings

but tho ladies especially found there was
considerable room on either side Of the
pipe. and many gentlemen kept out OF
sight. A little later mysterious oracle
was consulted by tho masculine half as
to why they married. presuming tina, they
sometimes wondered why they did marry
anyhow. A blank slip OF paper eoaSed
over fame revealed many reasons. Ono
benedict found Il was because his but
tons were nearly alloff:" another because
he hadn't as much experience them" a
third because he was tired Of buying ice
cream and candy and going to church"
As this gentleman still goes often and do

lights and autumn leaves and flowers and
ferns and pumpkins. A mos. dcleetablc

the good old times when halloween and
witches and charms were a belief was
carried out even here. The place card

about autumn fruit and flowers. or the
glorious summer days about Gods out

naming hours of the night dreaming of
all such uncanny apparitions as Hallow-

icacies as pies and doughnuts induce.
