Delightful Halloween Party.
Come at witching hour OF eight
And let the fairies read your fate.


Aud let the fairies read your fate.
Reveal to none this secret plot
Or woe-not luck Will be your lot"
This unique verse was the means OF
collecting about forty OF Edith and
Lena Herpel's friends together for a
real Halloween party last Saturday
evening. As the guests approached the
house the only visible sign of life was a
large jack-o-lantern in corner of front
porch. They we're received at the door
and directed upstairs, where to their
horror they perceived two weird objects
commonly designated as ghosts, who In
their weird way directed each one
where he should deposit his or her
wraps. The guests then assembled in
the down stairs rooms, which, like the
porch, were illuminated by jack-o-lan-
terms.
After all the guests had assembled,
they were in turn introduced to the
three witches, who gave them an ink
ling OF the future. Following this re-
freshments, especially appropriate for
halloween party, we're served.
The party then entered upon very
trying ordeal, that OF biting an apple
suspended from the ceiling by string.
The contestants were blindfolded, then
turned around several times and then
they started In what they thought
the direction OF the suspended
apple. A few found the apple, but a
great many came far short OF the mark
and although almost desperate we're
compelled to give up the trial. In some
inexplicable way, however, Wallace
Mitchell succeeded in getting the
largest bite and of course was granted
the prize.
At about Is the party started on a
grand march. They formed In line in
parlor, sitting and dining room. After
getting well in line they were led up
stairs, down back stairs, and out through
the cellar. They followed their leader
through all sorts of places until about
l1.50 when they returned to Herpel's.
After paying respects to the sisters each
one wended his homeward journey, we'll
satisfied with their evening.
