gi 4 Halloween by entertaining at their home a circle of congeDiai friends, Sin a novel and very amusing fash ion. To carry out the spirit of fun it was arranged that all the guests should attend arrayed as fantas- ticallv and grotesquely as possible. They certainly succeeded in doing sO.
 The spacious parlor of the genial host and fair hostess had been ap- propriately and grotesquely arrang- ed and decorated for the occasion. Iighted Jack lanterns" (made from pumpkins, such as every boy and girl has made from time inn memorial) stood in all corners, land everywhere else about the srooms that places could be found for them, with their grinning dis plays of teeth and cavernous eyes bidding greatly to the grotesqueness and fantastic appearance of the fcene; and other decorations were equally bizarre in the effect and Appearance. But the guests came { but strong in grotesquesness and Fantastic tout ensemble, while some of them demonstrated a sense of the artistic Gin grotesque) in the Conception and arrangement Of their costumes. Space at command will permit presentation of but q few.
 Doctor Ray Ferguson was at- tired in an original costume of which the belt and watch and fob were the most conspicuous paris. The belt was a surcingle, and the watch and fob were an alarm clock and razor strop. Occasionally the the alarm sprung, making great Packet to the amusement and edl- fication of all
 Mir. Ralph Shumway appeared as a negro minstrel, with his face blacked, wearing a bright red wig, fhe traditional minstrel costume, With pair of feet the shoes upon which would have served as q cof- 6n for 'pickaninny." To ascend fhe stairway he was obliged to go backward-that being the only way he could get firm footing up On the steps.
 MT G. A. Lonsberry personated q Bowery tough, and he looked and acted the character to life.
 Dr. Gustetter personated a bal let girl, wearing a suit of pajamas over which was liberal array of Barring paper skirts, cut short. When he danced the 'cake-walk' he was awarded not only the 'cake," but the whole bakery"
 Mrs. W. c. Budge personated HMarguerite," and presented bril- Rant and amusing travesty upon that noted character of the drama.
 Mrs. Emery Chalfant and Mrs. Harry Hay presented a really Amusing and charming effect as a couple of school children, clad in Png gingham pinafores, with | their hair arranged in long braids.
 The foregoing will suffice to epnvey an idea of the grotesqueness and amusing effect presented by the entire company.
 One young gentleman who had Been too busy to prepare a costume went in ordinary evening dress. fhe ladies took him m hand and | "hxed him up proper"
 The company indulged . the usual Halloween sports-bobbing Dr apples in tub of water, etc. Everything was conducted with a
